  • Ep.27 - Set the Controls: Lee Harris and the Early Days of Pink Floyd

    Ep.27 - Set the Controls: Lee Harris and the Early Days of Pink Floyd
    May 13 2025
    Lee Harris, the founder and guitarist of the successful band ‘Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secret’ was our first interview guest almost two years ago. We had an exciting conversation back then and we knew we wanted to invite him back to our podcast.

    Now, 25 episodes later, the time has finally come, Lee Harris is back!

    Together with Phil Salathé, in this episode we talk about Lee's youth, his own career as co-manager and guitarist of the band ‘Ian Dury and the Blockheads’ and the musical development of Pink Floyd between the years 1967 and 1972, an era they cover with the 'Saucers'.

    Lee also gives us a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the band, describing the conditions under which the songs were chosen and why Echoes came so late in the setlist.

    Look forward to a lively conversation between two full-blooded musicians and some great and nerdy insights...

    On a personal note, to our knowledge Pink Floyd performed 'The Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast' four times during the UK leg of their British Winter Tour in 1970.

  • Ep.26 - Over the Moon: Pink Floyd Live 1974-1975

    Ep.26 - Over the Moon: Pink Floyd Live 1974-1975
    Apr 8 2025
    To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the start of the North America tour in 1975, we present a new and exciting episode of the Fingal's Cave podcast.

    In more than 2 hours we discuss Pink Floyd's so-called transition period between 1974 and 1975, often derided as the band's creative low point.

    But even though there were many late decisions, sound problems, mishaps and - to be frank - a certain amount of laziness, these three tours, which started in Colmar (France) on 22nd June and ended in Knebworth (UK) on 5th July, offered plenty to talk about.

    From one of the finest Dark Side of the Moon shows in Bristol to a total disaster in Knebworth, Pink Floyd went through a rollercoaster ride in these 380 days, defining their own future by road-testing new material and setting the stage (no pun intended) with stunning new visuals, including the birth of Mr. Screen.

    After several weeks of preparation, we are proud to bring you an in-depth chat that even the dedicated Pink Floyd fan will learn something from, we promise!

  • Ep.25 - Troubled Waters, Burning Curtains: Staging The Wall, 1978-1981

    Ep.25 - Troubled Waters, Burning Curtains: Staging The Wall, 1978-1981
    Jan 31 2025
    In today's episode we talk about a very special time for Pink Floyd between 1978 -1981 and the staging of THE WALL live shows. This would be the last time until 2005 where the main four members played live as a band, so it is an important, if melancholic period.

    Together with Kyle and Phil (Salathé) we discuss the circumstances surrounding the album THE WALL, the so-called ‘Performance Manuscript’ and of course many shows from the tour itself.

    In particular we discuss the tour rehearsals, the start of the tour in Los Angeles on February 7th 1980, the video recordings of the concert in New York at the Nassau Coliseum, in London at Earl’s Court, and of course about the great shows in Dortmund, a typical German city in the middle of the Ruhr area. We also take a brief look at the last run of wall shows in June of 1981.

    In a little more than 2 hours you will learn many insights, mishaps, surprises and hopefully yet unknown things about the Wall live!
