first half hour Floyd history and second half 2012 live version
very nice played to my ears
so next year exam ? Stones ?

What happens if you fail this exam, but pass all the others?

Do you still go to university ?

You go for an ear exam.

it is an "option" so not main exams such as maths, French or history
I would have like to pass a pratical exam :"play that guitar, boy !"

Pink Floyd is studied in the French high schools for the final exam called baccalauréat before university.

Only for students in music ,and as an option for the other students .
This isn't an easy choice since Atom Heart Mother is one of the most technically complicated among the Floyd's songs.



I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

It's a strange album: I prefer Saucerful of Secrets and Ummagumma

I saw this in London a couple of years ago. It was great, David Gilmour was there that night playing the Black strat!

You are forced to go for your Masters Degree in "The Comedy of Jerry Lewis".

Better than the German schools I suppose, who must do a qualifying exam in The Zeitgeist that is David Hasselhof.

I'm not being judgemental though.

My first Pink Floyd record...
