Ep.24 - X-Mas Special: "Here Comes Santa... and a Sleigh Full of Pink Floyd Fans"
2024-12-22 43 min Ian Priston / Nils Zehnpfennig
In this special holiday episode, Nils and Ian sit down with Bob and Oakley—two young superfans who weren’t even born when Pink Floyd’s last tour ended. Together, they unwrap stories of rare recordings, audio engineering wizardry, and the friendships that make the fan community feel like family.
Bob and Oakley dive into their passion for finding rare recordings, chasing down rumours, and earning respect from experienced fans in the broader Pink Floyd community.
Their love for live recordings has led them to develop impressive audio engineering and mastering skills. Bob and Oakley share their experience working on projects like matrix mixes and quadrophonic remasters, where they combine multiple audience recordings—each captured from different spots in a venue. They break down the techniques, challenges, and how these projects often deliver audio quality far beyond expectations.
Our first 2023 episode declared: “Once you’re hooked, there’s no way back.” Bob and Oakley embody this sentiment, proving how Pink Floyd’s music continues to inspire a new generation of researchers, audio specialists, and devoted fans.
From all of us at Fingal’s Cave, merry Christmas and happy holidays!
