Larry Crane on the Revolutions Per Movie Podcast

Larry Crane and the Revolutions Per Movie podcast host Chris Slusarenko chat about Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii!

They discuss the genesis and all the different versions of this film (including the super frustrating screensaver version of Live At Pompeii), Chris's recent accidental hallucinatory viewing of the film and its many jump scares, Larry building Jackpot! Recording Studios & his early studio Laundry Rules, why artists often can't stop reworking their older bodies of work, Larry's gateway into Pink Floyd, The Benson Echorec piece of equipment used throughout this performance, Joe Boyd and the UFO Club, Larry building fuzz boxes without a switch on it, why the film is both wonderful and frustrating for Larry, the secret weapon of band member Richard Wright in this film, bands that spend over a year making an album, the accidental two-bass recording of "One Of These Days", Syd Barrett's body of work, democracies within rock bands, monster drummer Nick Mason, is the film made for future scholars of the band or stoners?, artists who don't suffer foolish questions, rock bands with zero body fat, Jonathan Richman doing an opening set before movies, and Larry getting an email for the episode from Alan Parson (the engineer of Dark Side Of The Moon) that solves a lingering question about the film!
