colterphoto1 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Yes, I have what is it 'About Face' and the self titled, are there any more? Oh yeah, an extended 12" of BLue Lights. Also Dave is on a couple of Pete Townsend tunes- Give Blood is one that comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1101 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I checked it out and it was great. Gilmore did one song and had David Crosby and Graham Nash on backing vocals. Don't know the name..sounded new. The tune was very reminiscent of what's on Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of The Moon.....And he still plays awesome leads....still has that same voice. It was great. He played Wish You Were Here on acoustic guitar next, but the show went off the air and Jay Leno said to see it you had to tune into their website. Well, I was happy enough with the first tune and just went to bed. So I never saw Wish You Were Here. When they did the "Live Eight" thing I had my PC plugged into my system and surfed around all day and evening long and watched and listened to as much as I could. Pink Floyd was absolutely excellent. I never understood the big deal over Roger Waters. David Gilmore certainly doesn't need him one bit. He might be a genious writer...I give him lots of credit for all that mind boggling material, but as a performer...well I just don't understand the big so called "loss".

colterphoto1 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I don't know if that was taped or was the live show from Chicago, that's where David played last night. A buddy of mine was in second row and Crosby/Nash did join in for the Island song. Rick Wright was visible on keyboards! Didin't know he was with the touring unit. I'll try to copy setlist over, he did Wot's, uh, the deal, Echoes, Arnold Layne (Syd's song) and many other oldies. This guy says he can die happily now cos he's just been to heaven. I believe him.

mark1101 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Last night on Leno it looked to be a medium sized outdoor stage on the studio premises. Like out the back door or something like that. There were maybe 100-200 people in the crowd. It looked like a decent setup. Leno mentioned a "concert series". Maybe more of this stuff to come. I think it was taped because Leno was up there on the stage with them standing next to Gilmore, and introduced them (Gilmore, Nash, Crosby). Gilmore looked about Jay's size, a pretty big guy actually. He looks old but he looks good and you can tell he has taken care of himself. The guy can play and sing REALLY well still. I'd think I died and went to heaven too if I got to see him up close live these days. Really he's a rare performer to see live. I saw Floyd a few times many years ago, but seeing them or Gilmore now would be special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauln Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 In my humble opinion, all the Pink Floyd worth listening to was done before DSOTM. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmboydoug Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 Animals, Wish you were here, and The Wall are not worth listening to? M'kay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I really liked them all, especially Meddle, but have to agree with Doug, they didn't slouch much on WYWH or Animals. The Wall speaks for itself as another rock masterpiece. But there a lot of old friends there in the deep catalog. Collect 'em all, it's a set!

meagain Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Animals is prolly my fave Floyd album. I've only met one other person who feels the same. IMO - it's underrated... maybe a better word would be - underappreciated. Sadly, I only have Animals on a poor quality mp3. Since there's floyd people here - Can anyone tell me if there are any particularily good recordings of Floyd floating about? I've tried remasters of other bands music but the few I've tried didn't find an improvement over the old version - but I'm still willing to try. Basically, I won't listen to Floyd here unless it's pristine quality. Anything else would just be sad & wrong to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I agree with Meagain that Animals is underated. It's a real sleeper in my opinion. One of my all time favorites. I think DSOTM is their absolute classic of all time. Best Floyd. IMHO. Wish You were Here was great too. OTOH I thought The Wall has its moments but was overdone. Too long. I like some of the real old stuff too. Cows: Atom Heart Mother, Zabriski Point, Obscured By Clouds, Meddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meagain Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 The Wall never really 'did it for me'. I just didn't feel passion about it. IMO - It's in a different league than the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.4knee Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Why do I always click into these threads 2 days after its too late?!?!?[:'(] Lisa you can buy DSOTM on new vinyl. Here is a list of Pink Floyd available from Elusive Dicsc: http://www.elusivedisc.com/searchprods.asp IMO the Wall was one of the best recordings of all time, which in and of itself is justification for Roger Waters!

Xover Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Here's kind of an obscure one for ya, have you heard David's performance with Atomic Rooster? Pretty goodstuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placido Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Pink Floyd without Waters is like the Bible without Genesis. By reading it, you can still get the gest of it, but you are missing the essence. I have maintained all my PF collection since at leats Atom and Medley, as it remains my all-time favorite, but remain hopeful of a 'REUNITE' before my time is up. Great minds think alike, but unfortunately do not always follow the same path when capitalism is at the reigns. PF is a way of life, not just a rock band. Seeing David on the TS was very nice, but it stirred a lot of old unfulfilled expectations for this 45 y/o fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
