Pink Floyd
Dubman same! I was only 12 so was a bit young to appreciate the whole show, but High Hopes, Comfortable Numb and Run Like Hell are still vivid memories
The production costs must have been huge. I think they had the biggest circular screen in the world. The laser show completely filled earls court. It was incredible.
they’re a band i definitely appreciate more as i get older. that said, wish you were here is one of my favorite songs.
I watched a VHS of Live in Pompeii on acid back in the mid 90s. Felt like it went on for 10 hours. A bit mental in parts.
They’ve had some great tracks obvs but this is my fave of the lot. Simply perfect.
Homegrove Definitely get Divison Bell in the collection. It’s a masterpiece!

ScottBailey As mellifluous as much of the music is, it ain’t Floyd without Waters. No bite and Gilmour’s lyrics are trite
alistair Guy Pratt has been a more than adequate replacement when on tour. But I’m definitely on the side of “original lineup” arguements, with exception (I think/I’m still undecided/it’s complicated..) of Van Halen
ScottBailey oh I have that. I even bought it new when it came out! I had just discovered them when it came out in 1994.
The Pulse-version of The Great Gig in the Sky beats the album-version IMO, even if Dark Side of the Moon is my favorite album of theirs.

ScottBailey Guy Pratt is undoubtedly a competent musician as witnessed on Pulse but without Waters, they ain’t Floyd. Although they will never admit it, Roger and Dave needed each other
Dark side of the moon, wish you were here are both brilliant albums but my fav album is Animals. I hated it for years then I finally got it in my 30’s.

Plus, when Pink Floyd did that one off gig in Hyde Park, it might as well have been called Pink Floyd & Roger Waters. Think he’d have been happy with a spotlight on him all night and a big ass sign behind saying “LOOK AT ME!”
ScottBailey I get that but he did write most of it Money was particularly special that night. Triumphant reunion nevertheless
