Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

There is a commercial for a Pink Floyd collection called Echoes... it's very good by the way (the collection)... but in the commercial they run footage of the band in the studio and on stage. The video shifts from scene to scene rather quickly but there appears to be a Rick.. maybe a fireglo involved somewhere along the line. Anyone else see the same thing? I didn't see Gilmour, Waters or Barret listed in the Rick artist list.

I saw Pink Floyd's Behind the Music on VH1, and the first 30 minutes focused on the Sid Barrett years (pre Dark Side of the Moon), and all of the footage of Floyd during the Barrett years showed Roger Waters playing what appeared to be a Fireglo 4001s.

In the Peter Whitehead film of The Pink Floyd's recording session of 11th/12th January 1967, a close-up shows the 4001S's neck to be under severe tension (warped in fact) on the bass side. Maybe this is what prompts Roger to use the bass as a cricket bat during the instrumental break in the promo film for "See Emily Play", set in a park in Belgium later in the year ? Nick Mason plants his drumsticks in the ground to become the wickets for Roger, as batsman, to stand in front of. How very English !
