This recording was not Pink Floyd at all -- it was none other than the good ole Grateful Dead (or at least Brent and a few other members... it's not immediately clear who else is on this recording) taken from a rehearsal in 1983!
I was immediately reminded of mid-70's, Wish You Were Here era Floyd when I heard this and couldn't help but remark how little of this sound actually made it to the Dead's stage in '83. Lots of interesting sounds from Brent. I guess we can just listen to this entire rehearsal (via archive.org) and imagine what might have been.[/toggle]
