I remember the first time I ever watched Live at Pompeii. Some friends and I were taking it in and one proferred during "One Of These Days" that Nick Mason was such an incredible drummer. Another seconded this notion. I was silent, since I knew there are so many other drummers that are much better really and I had just noticed some of what you referred to, Blatherskite.
Still, by no stretch of the imagination is "Nick Mason is the worst drummer in the entire history of rock." C'mon man, there's a difference between making a point, and just being plain goofy. Your statement is goofy.
"One of These Days still sounded good though. Pink Floyd stretched-out quite a bit live and they were also probably a bit nervous in front of the movie cameras. I guess my favorite part from Live at Pompeii is in the studio where we catch some of "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun."
