As we lead up to “Floydian Slip” Show #1,000 the week of June 8, we’re digging into the archives to share relics from the show’s past.
The first episode of “Floydian Slip” was carried on Ithaca College’s 106-VIC (now called VIC Radio) in January 1989. The exact date is lost, but we know it was a Sunday night, from 10-11 EST.
Posting really old audio is, for a radio guy, something like posting photos of yourself taken during those awkward teenage years. The best thing we can say about “Floydian Slip” Show #1 is the music holds up well 26 years later. Not so much can be said about the show’s host. 😉
Ironically, this “skim” of the show offers only the talk segments. Give it a listen, but don’t say we didn’t warn you:
Thanks for sharing. Does the FCC archive station logs; such a log might indicate the date of the Sunday show. Shine on 🙂
Toward the end of this segment: ‘formerly known as the Pink Floyd Hour’… Maybe there’s an episode zero…
This was great! I was probably not much more knowledgeable about Floyd at this time either. More than 25 years ago though. And probably both of our voices have gotten mellower! Ha!
@Jim: “The Pink Floyd Hour” had been hosted by a college friend named David Karp. Possible he has tapes, but I wouldn’t bet my life on it. As for FCC logs, even if 106-VIC was broadcast over the air — it wasn’t; it was cablecast — it’s unlikely logs would have survived all this time. Or could ever be located!
Thank you, for the wonderful listen! I never have heard you, but intend to find you! Today is David Gilmour’s Birthday!! Yes…I was one who attended the WYWH & ANIMALS Concerts up and down the E. Coast of U.S.A. and still am inside a PF Song. Shine On…
