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.

        Completely agree. without Roger they weren’t the same. Still good live though. Guy Pratt was an excellent bass player instead of Roger.

          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!”

                  Dubman Brilliant album. Floyds run from Meddle (so underrated) to the Wall is incredible. Echoes has to be one of the best albun closers ever

                      Wish I got tickets to see Roger waters The wall. I watched it on TV a while ago. looked & sounded chuffing awesome

                          ScottBailey I get that but he did write most of it 😂 Money was particularly special that night. Triumphant reunion nevertheless

                              Dubman yeah, wished I’d been at the one where Gilmour made a surprise appearance!

                                Homegrove
                                Got them all on original vinyl from my father. He went to all the live shows when they toured all the albums.

                                  Even though they are my favourite band I didn’t really like the material they made with Syd Barrett.

                                    Dubman me neither really, with the exception of See Emily Play and Astronomy Domine and Interstellar Drive. Imagine it would have been a great live experience though

                                      alistair and he’s not short of a penny because of it, so paying dues where deserved. But given the choice of have to watch his smug, arrogant boat on stage prentending to care about the band, or watching Guy Pratt in substitute and delivering an even better show because of, I know what I’d choose to see 10/10

                                        Homegrove Metallica is a dad band now, but wasn’t when I was young

                                        I’d pay top dollar to time travel back to be at this gig! Monster of a performance…
