^^LiveNation Basturds!!

..funny thing about LN. Here in my town, they own the Fillmore and Uptown Ampitheatre which are really great places to check out a show. Too bad they own it!! I've been screwed real good by a Fillmore show. Basturds!!

So .. who's trippin and goin to the Wall Show?? .. .. . I did that at the Monmentary Lapse of Reason tour (whatever it was called).. man, whatta night!?!?

Seeing Waters do "The Wall" in September. Gotta love knowing people that work at the venue I was able to see him in 07 too. The teenager in the seat in front of me rocking the avril lavigne look thinkin shes a a badass with her DSOTM tie and dancing during "The Wall" (pretty much the only song she knew) couldnt even ruin that perfect show. "The Great Gig In The Sky" was performed with such quality it competes with the original album version (in my opinion) He even played "The Fletcher Memorial Home", I was beside myself the entire night.

I've heard so many people that claim to be fans say they need to be in the mood to listen to Pink Floyd. I find that bullshit. These are also people that illegally download the albums in their entirety instead of just CONTRIBUTING. Now I'm not saying I haven't illegally downloaded anything, but its never music I claim to be die hard about.

Pink Floyd will always be on my playlists and playing in my head. "Fearless" is a very loved track and is played on a daily basis. My very first tattoo was the "Boat Man" as a birthday present to myself, I just had to burn that memory of an amazing experience into my flesh.

That doesn't give me a boner at all. I never really liked the wall. I cried in happiness when they reunited for the Live 8, really, it was such a MAGICAL moment.. but see Dave play on The Wall mumbo-jumbo... Well, no, sorry.

my fav songs:

on the turning away
comfortably numb
dogs of war
the whole dark side of the moon album

I think Pink Floyd is a very technically profficient band, and I like a lot of their music. My favorite is The Wall. I know its cliche, but all the same its the best album they came out with. I also really like the album A momentary lapse of reason

mine too! i love that song!

I saw that there was no mention in the Pink Floyd Thread about the upcoming reissues.

"Pink Floyd's Nick Mason says a "mellowing with old age" brought he and surviving bandmates David Gilmour and Roger Waters around to the idea of a deluxe catalog overhaul that begins in September.



"It is a sea change from our point of view," Mason tells Billboard.com. "We'd never put much thought into the idea of releasing incomplete or earlier versions of things, but I think the world has changed. One now looks at these things and realizes there really is interest and how things came about and what the early versions were and so on. We thought rather than just leave everything in the vaults, it might be worth bringing everything out and giving people a complete view of what we've done."



The campaign kicks off Sept. 26 with digitally remastered versions of Pink Floyd's 14 studio albums as well as "The Dark Side of the Moon" in a two-disc "Experience" and a six-disc "Immersion" treatment, featuring previously unreleased live material, demos and outtakes. Similarly expanded versions of "Wish You Were Here" as well as the compilation "A Foot in the Door -- The Best of Pink Floyd" are due Nov. 7, with "The Wall" given the "Experience" and "Immersion" treatments on Feb. 27.



And, Mason says, that won't be the end of the campaign. "We will do some more sort of in-depth versions of other albums, but I don't know what we've got in the pipeline for that, yet." he promises. But after all this, Mason adds, the vaults "are pretty bare. Frankly, I'd be embarrassed if we ever come out with another version of 'Dark Side.' "



Mason says he, Waters and Gilmour generally left the vault-mining and technical work to longtime engineers James Guthrie and Andy Jackson, who would "do some work and send it to us all at the same time. Initially the package would arrive and I'd think, 'Oh, God, it's another version of something' and leave it for a couple of days. Then, when you do eventually play it, it's actually quite an eye-opener. You hear things you completely forgot you've ever done. In one or two cases you wonder why on Earth you went with the version that ended up on the record rather than this early take."



The clearest example of that, Mason says, is a recording of "Wish You Were Here" that features a violin part by French great Stephane Grappelli. "When I heard that for the first time, I couldn't for the life of me understand why we never put that on record in the first place," Mason says. "I felt like, 'This is great! Why didn't we use this?!' "



Mason says that preparing and promoting the Pink Floyd campaign has becoming something of "a full-time job for him," though he plans to do some auto racing this summer. On May 12, meanwhile, Mason joined Gilmour as special guests for Waters' performance of "The Wall" at London's O2 Arena -- which he says was "terrific." Ever since, of course, he's being asked about further reunion plans, which he does not necessarily discount.



"There are no plans now," Mason says. "The long and short of it is, I live in hope. I'd love to actually do something together again. All of us are open to invitations to do things; the only thing that would drive it would be some sense that...there's some particularly good reason to do it together rather than separately. Perhaps we're getting a bit older and more appreciative of just how much it can mean to our fanbase to see us together. I think we just have to wait and see."

As a large Floyd fan, I completely agree that from Animals-onward, the music was more individual and less group-collaborated. Having said that, I have no problem with that. I don't think Pink Floyd made a single bad album.

cant believe ive missed out on listening to Pink Floyd, just getting in to them after watching pink floyd night on bbc4 couple of weeks back,would not normally give 70s rock bands chance in hell but pink floyd rock, and fuckin hate 70s rock music, it also took me until 6 or 7 years ago to like Jimi Hendrix now i got him on 3times a week

That's too bad, as overall, rock music from the 70s is about 100 times better than anything from the 00s.

Floyd
Zeppelin
KISS
Van Halen
Black Sabbath
Alice Cooper
Thin Lizzy
Deep Purple

Compared with:

Fall Out Boy
Panic! at the Disco
Passion Pit
All American Rejects

Floyd
Zeppelin
KISS The Who
Van Halen
Black Sabbath
Alice Cooper
Thin Lizzy
Deep Purple

NOW we're talkin'!

Pink Floyd album designer Storm Thorgerson dies


[www.bbc.co.uk]

Agreed. His work, not just with Pink Floyd, was always incredibly original.
