Here Today... Gone To Hell!

(http://members.lycos.nl/floydianfan/Pompeii/pompeii044.JPG)

The original film is a classic. I wish other bands had this kind of originality and wish this band still did....

It is a great video, though some of the music gets a little too... "far out" for me.  The studio footage of them working on Dark Side of the Moon is cool.

is this a live dvd? what songs does it have? I?ve never ever seen it, not that I remember.

Pink Floyd's Live At Pompeii is a real , mind fucker live concert of all time, i love the concept of it, as usual nobody but The Floyd could do it. : ok:

It's not a live DVD in the traditional sense if that's what you mean. It's a very "artsy" performance. It's basically them performing their more "spacey" songs in an empty ancient amphitheatre while various visual effects are shown throughout. They also have clips of them being interviewed and working on DSOTM throughout the dvd.

The tracklisting is:

Echoes Part I
Careful with that Axe, Eugene
A Saucerful of Secrets
Us and Them
One of These Days
Mademoiselle Nobs
Brain Damage
Set The Controls For The Heart of the Sun
Echoes Part II

The New Fiona Apple, I love that photo of Roger at the gong.

i bought the DVD afew weeks ago, unreal!! :yes: : ok:

i cant stand Roger Waters, musics biggest "LOOK AT ME GIVE ME CREDIT" wanker on Earth!!
other then that, it kicks arse!!

Wrong!

You have no idea what Roger Waters is about!!   IF he were like that he would be on fuckin MTv!  :rant:

wrong you are,

MTV didnt excist back then anyway, Roger Waters was an amazing writer and composer,
he was just a fucking arsehole, just ask David, Nick and Richard, those three dispise him.

Just look at his DVD for shits sake, all Pink Floyd songs under his name, i dont have time for people who spit on their fans either :rant: :rant:

 :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: All Floyd songs are under his name? It Might be because he wrote all of them Duh!!!!!  :rant: :rant:

Roger is, or at least was a huge megalomaniac. He may not be the type to whore himself to MTV, but that doesn't make his ego any smaller. Roger really believes he is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. He also believes he was Pink Floyd. He often made the others feel inferior by criticizing their performance when it is he who could barely play the bass.  He even said "You can write anything you want, just don't expect credit for it." He took most of the credit himself.

I think Roger has mellowed a lot in recent years and is pretty likeable now, but he was a huge dick in the past and never tried to hide it. You have to be blind not to realize that.

 :rant: :rant: :rant: What Are We all Fighting For?? Floyd Kick Ass and Thats it!, I don't give a goddamn squad if roger or david, nick or richard made the song if we all know who wrote the song, is just a wasted of energy discusing of something that happened way back in time.  :rant: :rant: :rant:

hey Dead Horse, i bet you think Roger wrote Comfortably Numb, or Run like Hell hey???

but im actually talking about Rogers DVD, i just think thats not right...

I really enjoy Roger's dvd and don't mind him singing Pink Floyd songs.

I know who wrote the songs dude, i got all their albums, i even got some of the solo projects. Those 2 songs you named were written by Waters ANd Gilmour , i know that. I thought u were talkin about Live At Pompeii tho.

I won't waste time writing about a band i know , i have listened for years and some people here, that  maybe have listened to one or two albums, and talk like they have listened to their whole discography.  ::)

i have most but on record and just scored A sourceful of Secrets and Piper At the Gates Of Dawn on record from a guy who knows shit about vintige and rare albums : ok:

I know my Floyd but obvioulsy not as much as you D.HORSE, i havent listend to 'The Wall' or 'Momentary Lapse' or a typical album and think i know all mate, all im saying is, is that Roger Waters is/was an inconsiderate prick and dont like a musician with that attitude. All band members have said it themselves but after watching some interviews from over the years you can pretty much figure it out for your self.

Now if that isn't the irony of all ironies.

I don't know if Pink Floyd has it's own thread or anything but does anybody here like Pink Floyd? I own Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall and I love the Wall to Death of course Dark Side is cool.

I have yet to hear any of there songs except Combfturbaly Numb and i fucking love it..I wanna get into them but just havent been motavated..what are some of ther ebiggest hits?

YES

very pleasing to my ear. something sweet & warm in there analog techniques. tapings. such a work of art & original. Gilmours obsessions with delays & reverbs & tape boxes etc..... ? argh it makes me sick to think about how much hands on involvement was done in the makings of such recordings. ?check out the 'Animals' album too.? You can write your thesis on 'The Wall'? alone.

 my influence for playing guitar & concept.

-bp ?:peace:

Pink Floyd is great... there's nothing like smoking a joint and cranking "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", well any Floyd will do, but that's my favourite.

You know what works suprisingly well (aside from "Dark Side of Oz"), you can mute the cartoon version of The Lord of the Rings and play Disc 2 from "Echoes" (the compilation).  I think I heard somewhere that some of the LotR was drawn while the artist was high on acid.  Anyways, it seems to flow really well.

I own 20 pink floyd albums...

easily the best band ever.

yeah i got most the albums, they great  : ok:

Big PF fan here. My favorite album is easily Wish You Were Here. Division Bell close second. I don't really like the (very) early Floyd (pre-72/73) and Waters solo albums (although his concerts are great). I think all the rest is great and their comeback in 1994 was pretty fuckin cool. No album since then, kinda like GN'R! ;)

As for their hits, I guess you could say: Learning To Fly, On The Turning Away, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, High Hopes, Wish You Were Here, Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2), Us And Them, Money, Comfortably Numb, etc.

david does a pretty good on job on comfortably numb on the pulse live/record  :)

I just have to say "the grass was greener"  :crying:, now that's feeling

Overrated.? And well, boring.

Sorry, what can I say?

They have some good tunes but I never met an actually "huge" fan of Pink Floyd that didn't really enjoy listening to them unless they were drunk and/or high...? :P

I try and I try and I try to see anything spectacular in Pink Floyd, but nothing ever comes up. Whenever its not long, bland solos, or repeating sound effects, its Roger Waters' unexpressive moaning, which can put an insomniac to sleep.

But saying something bad about Pink Floyd is never a good idea, because you will get grilled with arguments such as "Their lyrics are so deep, noone can understand them. Everyone is too stupid."

have a cigar by PF is just awesome!

I am a big Pink Floyd fan. I am not as quite as fond as their pre-Dark Side days, although it contains such gems as Piper At The Gates of Dawn, Obscured by Clouds, and Atom Heart Mother. The classic Floyd era (Dark Side through The Wall) is probably the best series of albums a band could ever release. Every album from that time period is excellent. My favorite being Animals. I think Roger Waters hit a wall when he wrote the Wall because the Final Cut and his whole solo career is very bland to me. Post-Waters Pink Floyd is always underrated. The Division Bell is a fantastic album and A Momentary Lapse of Reason is pretty enjoyable although much different.

They have that many?!

I have 5 or 6 on my computer, and I've never listened to any of them properly. I tried listening to DSOTM in headphones whilst lying in bed, which I was told would be some sort of magical experience, but I found it kinda boring and stopped after 6 tracks, I think.

one of these days are very good? :peace:

was the division bell post roger waters ???
i always thought it had waters in it.
my fav pink floyd album would be The Division Bell, Dark Side Of The Moon, The Wall, Animals and Wish You Were Here...awesome band, geat to listen to when u just want to relax

Well, there not for everyone but overrated is not a word I'd use for them.

Okay, so I bought Wish You Were Here and Meddle yesterday.

I love Wish You Were Here all the way through, it is great.

Meddle is alright, I like Echos and the 1st track.

But, The Wall is still my all-time favorite.

I just have to get the rest of their earlier stuff, and then I'll get Animals + The Division Bell.

Yes, it is a post Roger Waters album. The last album Roger appeared on was the Final Cut, which was essentially a Waters solo album. Pink Floyd released A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell without Roger Waters.

thats one of these days, i like it, good live song 2 ?: ok:

somebody took off with my Division Bell CD.  Really good album....   recorded mostly on Gilmours boat studio I think. which may explain a little about the very beginning eheh.

-BP

I Love pINK fLOYD. i Consider myself a big fan of this band, and i've never smoked a joint or whatever, & i still enjoy ,respect & understand their music.

Best albums for me i think: The Wall, Animals, Dark Side of The Moon, Wish you were here, Meddle,A Saurceful of secrets.  : ok:

I got into Pink Floyd long before drinking or doing any drugs.  They are my second favorite band.

It's totally underappreciated, but I think The Final Cut is their best album.  It's nearly a Water's solo album, but the guitar work by Gilmour is phenomonal.

If you're used to listening to pop music, or straight up rock'n'fuckinroll, I can see why Pink Floyd would seem boring.  It's more subtle, but you learn the appreciate all the textures with time.  The production work is brilliant, listen to The Final Cut with headphones and you'll just be amazed at all the different things going on.

I agree. I listened to Dark Side Of The Moon last July/August and I thought some songs were cool but others didn't really flow with me but I learned to appreciate it with time. I also learned to appreciate their other albums even more like Wish You Were Here and The Wall.

i like pink floyd, their music is very individual and very cool :yes:

 :( anybody hear Korn's 'Another Brick In The Wall' ?

now why did they have to go ruin a great recorded song?? sounds like digital piss ... .. 

-BP

Yeah, I heard it. I thought their live performance wasn't that bad considering it was Korn. The studio version isn't as good.

Easily the best band ever, amazing lyrics, amazing concepts for albums, amazing precision to play simple notes and make them work and effective. Fucking great live shows.
I love all eras, it took me time to really get it on with PF but once I started to like them it was none stop from that point onwards.
Pipers at the Gates of Dawn is fucking great, insane stuff.
Darkside, Animals, The Wall are just brilliant.
Fuck I love them all!!


How I wish, How I wish they where here  :'(

I was going through my dads cd collection and found pink floyd I thought hey why not give them another ago and I really enjoyed the dark side of the moon I loved it!

Absolutely hate this band. very dull music. I don't know why people claim they are so great when they are less then mediocre

Your post becomes invalid when you consider the number of people that disagree with you and how many times you have ACTUALLY posted.

Hes allowed to have his say weather we agree or not

he can hate the band all he wants but they arent mediocre, give me a break!

 :yes:YEs listen to them everyday..........and saw them in concert in 1975 the Quadraphonic tour..............very cool ....wow only thirty years ago... :'( 

Wow, you saw them live, that's amazing.  I saw the Australian Pink Floyd cover band last year.  Have you heard of them? They are mindblowingly similar.  I'd highly recommend seeing them if you get the oppertunity.  They are outstanding musicians and the show is just as visual and entertaining as any Floyd concert I;ve seen (on tape)

I love Floyd! One of my favourites! And I've never drank or done drugs in my life.

I have recently got into Pink Floyd, though i've had copies of some of their stuff for a while i 'upgraded' to copies of the Wall and Dark Side of the moon, they are truly amazing, and i'm training my mind to appreciate as much of them as i can

I'm really happy to hear that...   If you can, get the 'Making of Dark Side of the Moon' - the hands on beauty that went into the recording of it is unmatched. Plus evey time I watch The Wall I learn something new. -BP

I can't believe this but it's official:
http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/

sure oh sure, now anything can really happen.

Fucken bullshit hey :o :o :o

i hope a tour comes out of this!! :yes:

Sweet mother Jesus!...I am waaaaaayyyy in to the Floyd right now. If you guys have never seen the dvd Live at Pompeii, get it. Watch the original movie first, not the director's cut. The original is all about the live performance. Then, watch the director's cut which has interviews and more imagery mixed in.   :drool: :drool: :beer: :beer:

Wow - and about time time, we hope this is the start of something bigger

I did say that it was a strong rumor!

I'm really hopin this is more than just a one night thing and that the Floyd stay together to tour and maybe even record again. But a few years ago, even a one night appearence would have satisfied me, so even if it is just a one night thing, at least I'll be lucky enough to say I seen it. (on television!)

man......Roger Waters (prick) and David Gilmore together on stage again....who woulda thought 8)

Yeah but, maybe Roger Waters isn't a prick, maybe it's just the media have labelled him that and placed the blame of Floyd breaking up on him cos he's the front man.
Now I think we can all name another band with a simular situation!!

That would be huge if Pink Floyd started recording again I dont see why not!

I have literally been on cloud-nine since i heard this news.  Just image if Syd Barrett came on stage!  All the Floyd fans, including myself, would likely croak of a massive heart-attack.
Hell I would have never figured that Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour would ever grace the stage together again.  It's been 23 yrs

trust me dude......he's a fucking prick!! :yes:

Now this could be very good or very bad.

Wow, this is pretty bigtime.

I knew that the grass was greener  : ok:

Any interesting stories to support that thesis? ;)

Heres the news all of you didnt want to hear:

The band end speculation about reforming.

Pink Floyd's Roger Waters has revealed what many fans were hoping not to hear; that the band are unlikely to reform for a tour - not even for a mega pay day of ?136m ($250m).


Speaking for the first time since his memorable Live 8 appearance -- reforming the original line up with Dave Gilmour and co for the first time since 1981 - Waters revealed he was optimistic at best.

"I hope we do it again. If some other opportunity arose, I could even imagine us doing Dark Side of the Moon again," he said. "You know, if there was a special occasion. It would be good to hear it again."

In the interview, published this Thursday, Waters also revealed he "really loved" performing with his former band mates, but turned down the massive offer - which reportedly came around the time of their Live 8 appearance.

did the band ask him to play for a tour???

thery'r not gettin' any younger, why not do it again :-\

Guess he does not need the money.

"I really loved [the Live 8 concert]. I hope we do it again. It was more than good. If some other opportunity arose, I could even imagine us doing Dark Side Of The Moon again - you know, if there was a special occasion. It would be good to hear it again. Live 8 was so great. [It would have to be] something with a political or charitable connection...

Taken from an excerpt of Word Magazine October 2005 interviewing one Roger Waters.

I think pigs will fly in 2006  :beer:

Fuck, there go's that one

http://www.nme.com/news/pink-floyd/21614

I hope what he says will come true.

Here's hoping, what an amazing gig that would be.

I want a new album!

And i want pigs fly again  :peace:
Hope if they reunite again they'll be on good terms again and not pretending, that wouldn't be healthy.

Waters is the only one talkin' about a reunion here n' there!!

Oh why dont you go do another stage version of The Wall.  If Pink Floyd tour, .they dont fuckin' need you Waters , and if they made an album with him, Waters would have his name bigger then Floyds!! ::)

It's been no secret that since Waters left in 83 that he has been wanting to get back into the Floyd camp.? When Gilmour starts talking reunion, then I'll listen.? Rogers has been sayng the same thing for years.

Speaking of the Live 8 gig, notice how Gilmour wasn't even looking over at Waters during their set?  That to me shows that if Floyd ever toured again, it probably won't be with Waters :'(.

where can i find the live 8 performance, its not on AOL music althouth other bands live 8 performances still are.

nah, they are cordial to each other.. ive seen pics of them drinking champagne and laughing and Nick Mason said they once went out to dinner. Once the solo album and tour of Gilmour ends Im pretty sure pigs will fly.

Pink Floyd singer/guitarist David Gilmour plans to mount his first solo tour in years following the March 6 release of a new album titled "On an Island," according to a Reuters report. The outing will begin with a European leg that launches March 10 in Germany, and is expected to hit North America in April, according to the report.

That sounds great.. I hope he will visit Sweden.

Pink Floyd = most boring band ever to create music. These guys make Radiohead look like Elvis.

Im just dumbfounded by that statement. Never heard that opinion in my life...

Their fans grew up and somehow collectively convinced young teenagers that Pink Floyd is the way of life or something. Now,  all these young people think Pink Floyd's lyrics are so deep and tha Dave Gilmour is a guitar genius. They suck. You need to be high to appreciate their music. By *appreciate* I mean stay awake..

Are you competing in the most retarded poster in the history of rock n roll forums?

Cuz if you are your officially taking the lead! : ok:

Ok, I LOVE Radiohead.
And I really like Pink Floyd.

If you don't see what's appealing about those bands, you really need to try harder. If you don't like them, that's fine. But the music has obviously struck a chord with people seeing how Pink Floyd have been "hip" since the 70s.

Wow.  "Convinced young teenagers that Pink Floyd is a way of life".  I understand that you don't appreciate the Floyd.  Thats ok.  But the above statement is wrong.  People enjoy Floyd for the tunes.  Not because we were "convinced".  I'm curious though, what bands do you enjoy?

Sweet...im gonna be the winner of the "most retarded person ever" contest.

I can name my reasons why I think Pink Floyd sucks and is massively overrated. But why don't any of you shed some light as to what makes Pink Floyd so great. The last three posts said the same thing, pretty much nothing.

Actually, you don't have to tell me whats great about them...just make sure you like them because you genuinely think their music is great - not because the whole world raised Pink Floyd on to a pedistule and they somehow have become rock gods. Nowadays, every radio DJ in the country talks about them like musical icons and to question that is considered like denying WWII.

As far as bands I like...why do you wonder? Have you taken offense to me saying Pink Floyd is boring and want to discuss general musical tastes?

No, I haven't taken offence at all.  In fact, i'm rather intrigued By your statements about the Floyd.  I really haven't met anyone who didn't appreciate at least some of Floyds offerings.  I'm curious about some of the bands that you enjoy, namely because I would like to know if there are any similarities between the bands you enjoy, and Floyd.

What prompted me to post in reply to your statements were the fact that you wrote that people are "convinced" to like Floyd.  I disagree.  I can see how kids are "convinced" to enjoy people like Ashlee Simpson and Rap because it's forced down peoples throat through pop culture and MTV.  But Floyd is a whole different thing.  Sure they get alot of radio play, but people enjoy their contribution to music.  If people are convinced to like Floyd, then I guess people are convinced to like Zeppelin, The Beatles, etc due to massive playback on the radio.

Pink Floyd fans can officially put the reunion rumours to bed.

Despite a successful one-off show at Live8 last summer and speculation of tour dates later this year, the band is "over," according to former singer-guitarist David Gilmour.

Speaking in an interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica, he stated that a reunion is definitely not in the cards.

"The band? It's over," announced Gilmour. "Reunited because of the good cause, to get over the bad relationship, and not to have regrets.

"I think I've had enough. I am 60. I don't want to work much anymore. It's an important part of my life, I have had enormous satisfactions, but now it's enough. It's much more comfortable to work on my own."

Gilmour also stated that his thoughts have nothing to do with the tension between he and co-founder Roger Waters, who left the band in 1983, and didn't play with them again until Live8.
   

"The issue about Roger is irrelevant, because even without him I don't want to go on as Pink Floyd... I am fine as I live now. It was fantastic but now I don't feel like (it) any more."

i know this thread is a few months old, but id also like to know why people think floyd are so good, since captain obvious hasnt replied i thought id ask...

i dont really like their music either, i could count the number of pink floyd songs that i like on one hand with three fingers cut off...

so what makes them so great?

 

Shut the fuck up about pink floyd captain obvious or I will burn you down to the ground. I will put you on the stake myself and I will burn every bone in your body.

ummm he hasnt been here since december...

And people have the nerve to claim your strange! ::)

You mean they have the right to claim I'm strange.

I just have soft spot for floyd, okay.

They are pretty good:)
Younger people don't seem to like them too much, but I do:D

Absolutely love them. I think of them as two seperate bands. There's the Syd Barret/Psychedelic band 66-73(?) then there's the progressive rock giants band 73-present. And hell it's all good.

The division bell album was quite mysterious, does anybody remember the big 'Publius' mystery surrounding that album? Haven't thought about that in a long time. If nobody knows what I'm talking about I'll see what I can dig up. 

I like Pink Floyd, my favourite songs are Comfortably Numb and Wish You Were Here.  :peace:

Echoes is a great song, too  : ok:

My favorite Pink Floyd songs are On The Turning Away, Comfortably Numb, and Wish You Were Here. :)

My dad was the one who got me listening to Pink Floyd too when I was a kid. He's a total Floyd groupie.  :)

I love The Wall the best. It's very diverse and introspective.

Hey You, Young Lust, Mother, Comfortably Numb, Goodbye Blue Sky, Wish You Were Here are a few of my favorites. 

I just got into "Dark side of the Moon," and I must say, it's fucking amazing!! I can't believe I've passed on listening to this album for so long.

Yeah I do like Pink Floyd a lot.

Here are some cool rare stuff i found, if anyone here has or knows where i could find more post away.

(http://mitkadem.homestead.com/files/floyd/Pink.Floyd.Pulse.DVD.2005.jpg)

The Syd Barret footage is always appreciated :D

is there nothing on the last  album with roger walters? "The Final Cut"?

all i can say is that the drum solo in Saucerful of Secrets is the sickes shit ever!! used to love listening to that on pyschedelics

Don't talk about 'Comfortably Numb' like it's one of Pink Floyd's best songs.? It's not close.

Also, give Waters the credit he deserves - he's a godamn legend.? If you think he was the arrogant one in Pink Floyd then you need to think a little harder.

Live at Pompeii is GREAT!

Regarding the discussion about Waters, who cares? Nick Mason is drumming with him on his current solo tour in 2006, lets not get into something that happened 20 years ago.

Im hoping they will re-unite for a final tour/show next year and show the world why they are the best ever.

ive recently got into the floyd and ive been wanting to make a pf thread for a while.. so here u go!

im sure theres on already.

anyhow, love dark side of the moon and some of the wall.

mainly for the guitar solos.

i like it because its trippy, yet its catchy music  : ok:

Dark Side of the Moon is possibly the greatest album ever made. With AFD and Rumours up there vying for the top spot.

Didn't really like them until this past summer when I feel in love with DSOTM.? Brain Damage and Time are my theme songs.

They were amazing at Live 8. That got me into them.

Think of a reunion tour. That would gross gazillions......

Wish you were here is my favourite. Such a tune.

Anyone got the Pulse Live DVD? Been tempted for a while now....

-Greg

yeah i have the pulse dvd.. i like it. they sound just like the real songs when they play em live.
plus it is LOADED with extras.. the most extras  ive ever seen on a music dvd. plus theyve got a pretty fair setlist

Agreed. You obviously have a very fine taste in music sir.....

good music to get high too :smoke: :yes:

or drink liquor too what ever is your thing :beer:

Pink Floyd Members Appear At Barrett Tribute

The surviving members of Pink Floyd took part in a tribute concert last night (May 10) to pay respects to their former frontman, Roger "Syd" Barrett.

Guitarist David Gilmour, bassist Roger Waters, drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Rick Wright all appeared on stage at the "Syd Barrett -- Madcap's Last Laugh" gig, held at the London Barbican venue.

But it would appear the long-feuding Gilmour and Waters have yet to bury the hatchet. The pair appeared separately, the BBC reports, and were not photographed together.

Gilmour, Mason and Wright performed "Arnold Layne," the group's first hit and one of Barrett's best-known works. Waters performed a solo version of his own track, "Flickering Flame."

The concert was held to pay homage to Barrett, who died on July 7, 2006, at the age of 60, following complications from diabetes. The artist had spent the better part of the past 30 years living in seclusion in Cambridge, England, after being forced out of the band due to deteriorating mental health issues.

Other performers on the night included Blur and Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn, the Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde and Soft Boys singer Robyn Hitchcock.

They then took part in an all-star finale of one of Barrett's best-known compositions, the psychedelic track "Bike" taken from the band's debut 1967 album, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn." Waters, however, did not join in.

The Barrett concert is part of the Barbican's Only Connect series of events, which offers a podium for unusual collaborations and cross-arts experimentation. Contemporary composer Philip Glass and punk-era artist Patti Smith will take part in a performance of piano and poetry on Oct. 19, under the Only Connect banner.

I Appreciation Pink Floyd : ok:

*waves lighter in air*



 :peace:

Kind of a shame they all couldn't put their differences aside for one night to honor their former bandmate.

indeed, whatever their problems are - this wasnt about them, and they should have remembered that

Pink Floyd kick massive amounts of ass. i need to get into them more. i just have The Wall, Wish You Were Here, and Dark Side of The Moon, i also have the Pulse DVD. i'm not really familar with the older stuff. *hides in shame*

the thing about them is, i just can't get bored of their music. my dad plays classic rock stations all the time, and some songs i just can't stand anymore. but whenever Pink Floyd comes on i turn that shit up!!


i've also heard High Hopes, fucking awesome song.

They did it for Live 8 so i don't see why they couldn't to honor and remember their friend and bandmate.

You should check out the Live at Pompeii dvd too.

yeah i'll try to check that out.

i'm actually pretty pissed off that i didn't realize the Pulse DVD was after Roger Waters left, but its still solid.

Yeah a good pro dvd with him in the band would be great. They'd have to go back to 1981 for that i think.

The Barrett solo stuff, rare as it is, is worth a listen. You can really hear how much he influenced early Floyd from that.

Don't hide in shame...come into the light and embrace all that is Floyd!

Get Animals, as soon as you can.  It's my personal favorite, and don't let the five tracks fool you...it's a solid 41 minutes long.  Same with Meddle...six tracks, 46 minutes.  Some of their best "epic" tracks are on those two albums, and Animals is a great musical companion to George Orwell's "Animal Farm." 

Also, if you're more into The Wall than DSOTM, you should definitely check out The Final Cut.  It's another Waters masterpiece, very similar to The Wall in its feel, though a bit less weird.   

lol the final cut is fucked man!

all the crazy ww2 styled things!

Those Pink Floyd Boys never got over WW2.

I love his solo stuff.

After years of ignorance, I have finally opened my eyes !!! Oh my God, what a band !!!!
   

   The sounds, the voices, Gilmour's smooth guitar...they're magnificent!

Sure, a few songs are still too experimental for my taste, bust most of their work is mindblowing, with or without Waters...


 

What is the name of the font used on The Wall's cover and track listing? PM me if you know.

OH MY GOD! 

This guy built a "Wall" themed computer, and it's fucking amazing!

WOW, if he can get licence to sell those, he can make a fortune, it looks pretty cool

I watched a movie called Grave of the Fireflies over the weekend, and some of the scenes really brought to life the lyrics in Goodbye Blue Sky,

Did you see the frightened ones
Did you hear the falling bombs
Did you ever wonder
Why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky



thanks for the tip, I have DSOTM, the Wall and Final Cut and I love them all.


The only thing I dont get is the 'getting high while listening to them' business.  The music takes you on a wild journey as it is!

I don't do that, either.  I agree that the music is good enough sans THC.

anyone ever watch the wizard of oz as it synchs up with DSOTM?   that is trippy as hell-  watch it when your high lol :rofl:

A long while back , back in the party days some friends and i did that. It is very trippy, to say the least.

Just recently got into the Syd Barrett era of Floyd great stuff.

What do you guys think of this version of Flaming (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_aqsKmJd5Y)? It's ragged on by pretty much everybody that has commented on youtube, but I fucking love it! A lot of people complain about how disinterested the band look, but I think that just makes it all the more cool.

I mean... I wouldn't mind hating it, fuck Dave singing Syd's song and all that, but I just can't... There's just something so cool about it.

I've never really known early Floyd stuff too well, but I'm trying to listen to all of their albums and, fuck me, the Barrett stuff is just blowing me away. I know the Dark Side era pretty well, and love it to death, but some of the early stuff is just incredible.

Also, I got tickets for Roger Waters at the O2 in May. Set me back ?150 for the pair, but hey, fuck it, he plays the whole of Dark Side of the Moon in the second half. I can't wait!

(oh, though I will add that Dave does fuck up the lyrics, which does annoy me somewhat...)

Saw that show a couple of years ago.  It was great! 

I'm not used to seeing them look so...hot and... bubblegummy  ;D


So yesterday Stephen Hawking came to give a talk on campus.  There was a long line to see him and someone started playing 'Keep Talking' off The Division Bell album, which I thought was a nice little tribute.  I dont know if there's a lot of love for that record, but I like it.  Marooned is a great song, as is High hopes.  I just like the ambience of the album in general.

Dude, you're gonna love the Waters show. Very envious, if I had the money and free time I would gladly fly anywhere in the world to see him again. I saw him last year on the Australian leg of his tour, and it was hands down the best show I've ever seen. Simply incredible.

I love pretty much everything Floyd, but my favorite stuff of theirs is the Meddle-The Wall era. The Barrett stuff I quite like, but it took me a while to really get into it. I have to be in the right mood for it, but when I am, I love it.
I enjoy the Momentary Lapse and Division Bell albums. There are a few tracks I don't really like too much, but there are some fantastic things on them, High Hopes being a real highlight of DV.
Waters and Gilmour's solo albums are great as well. Waters Pros and Cons and Amused to Death (especially) are great. KAOS is alright but not his best work. Gilmour's self titled is amazing. About Face has some good stuff on and On An Island is a good listen. I'm interested in hearing Ric Wright's solo stuff, but haven't found it yet.

On an Island is VERY laid back.

It'd make for great chill music. 

I like their solo stuff, but it's just not the magic that Floyd is.  Roger's writing without Gilmore's guitar, and so on. 

Roger Waters plays `Dark Side,' unleashes giant pig

By JAKE COYLE, AP Entertainment WriterMon Apr 28, 7:31 AM ET

Roger Waters brought Coachella to a close with an epic two-set performance that included playing all of "Dark Side of the Moon" and unleashing a giant inflated pig into the night sky.

The 64-year-old Waters, the third headliner of the three-day music festival following Prince and Jack Johnson, performed an elaborate, almost retrospective concert Sunday featuring music from throughout Pink Floyd's catalog.

Old photographs of the band often flashed across the screen behind Waters and his current band, which played songs from "The Wall," "Wish You Were Here" and "Animals," among other Floyd albums. They also played "Dark Side" in its entirety, culminating with the album's iconic triangle prism rising above the stage.

But Waters' biggest prop was an inflatable pig the size of a school bus that emerged while he played a version of "Pigs" from 1977's capitalism critique, "Animals."

The pig, which was led above the crowd from lines held on the ground, displayed the words "Don't be led to the slaughter" and a cartoon of Uncle Sam wielding two bloody cleavers. The other side read "Fear builds walls."

The underside of the pig simply read "Obama" with a checked ballot box alongside.

As Waters drew the song to a close, flame bursts exploded on the sides of the stage and the swine floated into the night sky. Waters said sadly and comically, "That's my pig."

The performance also included speaker towers placed around the outside of the crowd. Smoke machines funneled across the stage and over the audience, thickening the atmosphere.

You weren't wrong on that one!, by far the best show that I've ever seen as well.

It's so difficult to choose stand out songs, but highlights were probably, err,

Us and Them. The atmosphere for that one was incredible!

Sheep. Again, the atmosphere was amazing, and it was one of the highlights more for that than the actual song itself, if that makes sense. It closed the first half and what with the ol' Pig flying o'er the top and the confetti it was such a great feeling to know that we were only half way through!

Perfect Sense. Well... It's Perfect Sense!, one of my favourite Waters solo songs, and the performance was spot on.

Also, Mother live just blows me away. I may even go as far as saying that I prefer the Waters solo performance to the album version, the vocal juxtoposition is so much stronger, it really adds to the song immensely.

It was more than worth the hundred and fifty notes, and I'd pay as much as I had to see a Floyd reunion... Though, on that note, as far as I know Waters is pretty much on board these days, getting Gilmour to join in is the main problem... But if that's really the case, then Roger should probably avoid saying in the programme that he thinks that his current band perform DSotM better than his old band mates did...

Anyway!, all in all a fantastic night.

 David Gilmour has hinted at the possibility of a future Pink Floyd reunion concert.

He said that the band?s members ?haven?t absolutely said no to that possibility? but insisted that the chances of a long term reunion were unlikely.

?We did the one off thing and that was probably enough for me but we shall see,? Gilmour said.

Speaking to the BBC at the Ivor Novello awards last week, where he won the Lifetime Achievement award, Gilmour also voiced his support for Amy Winehouse.

?Amy is one of the absolutely outstanding sort of sparks of great musical joy for me that has come up in the last few years,? he said.

?Just fantastic and she will be around for a very long time I?m sure.?

Thanks for the info to Gigwise.com.

If it's only one show, wouldn't it be awesome if they struck a deal to have it on network TV?

Yes. And no.

If they did, I'd like to see all revenue go to charity... Then I'd be happy that it wasn't that kind of reunion.

I know what I'd want for a setlist, but I don't want to get ahead of myself.

In a perfect world I'd have no Wall or Dark Side of the Moon popping up. Never going to happen, though.

Actually, I could suffer Us and Them and Mother.

R.I.P Syd

   

Division Bell is an underrated masterpiece ! The way it sounds and feels, everything about it. At first I didn't like it, thought it was too slow, but the lyrics, melodies and Dave's guitar are amazing

Pink Floyd is one of my favorite groups of all time. I like every album/cd put out by them including the early cd Piper at the Gates of Dawn. I've seen Pink Floyd twice (Momentary Lapse and Division Bell tour). And I've seen Roger Waters twice. Both were incredible in sound, lights and performance. I wish there were more groups of their calibur in the modern age of music. Some say Cold Play is close to them. But I can't really see that.  :peace:

Nice one, my man!

I have a whole host of Floyd bootlegs, but I must admit to not owning a single post-Waters one... Until now! I figured that it was about time that I gave one a go. Cheers.

I'm obsessed with The Division Bell, I cant stop listening to it.

Check ''High Hopes'' at that rehearsal... Gilmour's guitar is magic.

Thank you estebanf, it's really magic. Division Bell is great. His CN-solo on the pulse-tour is out of this world.

They really like(d) playing dark side...

Haha, "shine on you crazy bastard!"

Roger Waters tours The Wall

http://tour.rogerwaters.com/tour/

http://www.gigwise.com/news/57332/Pink-Floyds-Roger-Waters-And-David-Gilmour-Reunite-At-Charity-Gig

Pink Floyd's Roger Waters and David Gilmour reunited on stage at a charity gig in Oxfordshire on Saturday (July 10).

The pair performed four songs in front of just 200 guests at the Hoping For Palestine charity gala at Kiddington Hall.

It marked the first time Waters and Gilmour had shared the same stage since Pink Floyd's appearance at Live 8 in 2005, and comes only months after Waters said the one-off show was ?probably? their last.

Backed by four musicians, the pair began their set with 'To Know Him Is To Love Him', which was originally written by Phil Spector.

It was followed by 'Wish You Were Here' and 'Comfortably Numb'.

Waters and Gilmopur ended their performance with 'Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)' after a member of the audience bid for them to play the song.


-----


Maybe just maybe we will see them do a tour one of these days!

COOL! i was just thinking about them like 20 minutes ago

Supposedly Waters reached out to Gilmour regarding his tour of the Wall, which Gilmour turned down.

If there is any collaboration on the tour, I very much doubt that Gilmour would tour extensively, so perhaps if it happens in any capacity it would be for a limited number of dates, say, the London ones...

... For which I have tickets for one of.  ;D

Pretty cool..I dont see a Floyd reunion ever happening cause one of them died recently, cant recall the name...but hopefully theres a video somewhere thanks

It was Richard Wright, he was the keyboard player.

I doubt it.

It was only to a group of 200. The idea that a good deal of them wouldn't have appreciated what they were witnessing has me furious!

The member that died was Richard Wright, the keyboardist. He played with Gilmour throughout his On An Island tour. Some his best known stuff with Floyd that he wrote/took lead vocals (and one that isn't best known, but that I love!),

Roger Waters The Wall's Notes

The gig with David
Wednesday at 1:57pm

So here's what happened. Last year, 'The Hoping Foundation' a charity that supports Palestinian refugee kids, (www.hopingfoundation.org) put on a fund raiser at Ronnie Scott's Club in London, the idea of which was to raise money by auctioning karaoke performances by various celebrities. David was there as a supporter and was moved to perform an impromptu rendition of George Gershwin's 'Summertime?' which he performed aided and abetted by supermodel Kate Moss.

In the wake of that evening, someone, I think it was David himself, came up with this 'Wouldn't it be funny', idea. What if he (David that is) were to sing the old Teddy Bears song 'To Know Him Is To Love Him' with me (Roger that is), what with us having been so famously at each other's throats for years and years. Get it!!!! Anyway he E-mailed me with this suggestion and I loved it, so then it was just a question of juggling dates and deciding to do 'Wish You Were Here' and 'Comfortably Numb' to round out our little set. Or so I thought, until he sent me a number of very musical and eloquent demos of how we could do the song in two-part harmony. I listened with a sinking heart, knowing that David, with his superior vocal skills, could sing either part standing on his head, whilst I would have to search for a different key and then struggle through hours and hours of routining a performance that lay way outside my vocal comfort zone. To my eternal shame I bottled out and told Dave I would happily do 'Wish You Were Here' and 'C. Numb', but that 'To Know him is to Love him' was beyond me.

Some weeks passed with David cajoling me from time to time, telling me how easy it would be, but I clung resolutely to my fear of failure until one day he made one final entreaty. I quote "If you do 'To Know Him Is To Love Him' for The Hoping Foundation Gig, I'll come and do 'C. Numb' on one of your Wall shows". Well! You could have knocked me down with a feather. How fucking cool! I was blown away. How could I refuse such an offer. I couldn't, there was no way. Generosity trumped fear. And so explaining that I would probably be shite, but if he didn't mind I didn't, I agreed and the rest is history. We did it, and it was fucking great. End of story. Or possibly beginning.

PS. Just heard from David, he will decide in due course which gig he wants to do, it will be a surprise!

Roger Waters and company have been practicing at the Mohegan Sun Arena @ Casey Plaza here in Wilkes-Barre, PA recently getting ready for the tour. Word is they are planning a one-off practice gig like AC-DC did back in 2008. Instead of myself spending money to get overpriced sold out tickets to MSG, I can just go to this one (if it happens).

Vids of the gig with Dave :peace:

Opening and Wish You Where Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTa3ElA7d-w) <<< David is like 'WTF' at 8.56

Comfortably Numb (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naXxXSfIqMI) Hopefully that guy who stood up is in prison :hihi:

Just got my tickets to the October 13th show at Nassua Colliseum. Its my birthday and i get to see the Wall live in concert. What a fucking day  :beer:

Saw the Roger Waters show last night. Mindblowing performance!! Highlights included "mother" "goodbye cruel world" "nobody home" "comfortably numb" and the sequence of "vera" and "bring the boys back home " literally brought a tear to my eye. Best show ive ever seen

I'm going this Sunday at The Palace of Auburn Hills north of Detroit (I've seen GN'R there many times). I did the rogerwaters.com pre sale and somehow got picked for front row, center.

I'm beside myself excited!!


 :beer:

I got tickets for Roger Waters in april in the Netherlands.
Can't wait :)

Show was FLAT. OUT. AMAZING.

russtcb i went to the show 2 weeks ago and i still cant stop thinking about it. GREATEST SHOW IVE EVER BEEN TOO.  : ok:

Amazing show at the Garden - I saw about 50 people get turned away with fakes though, one guy was yelling "I just paid $500 for these!".

Feel bad for all the people who got scalped, show was crazy though.

With GN'R covering abit of Another Brick In the Wall, it has given me a whole new appreciation for Pink Floyds music.

At the Manchester, Guns N' Roses show. I was standing next to a huge Pink Floyd fan, and he said he used to be in a Pink Floyd tribute band. Then when Axl sat by the piano, I told him that GN'R covers abit of Another Brick In The Wall. And when Axl was singing it, his face lit right up and he had a huge smile on his face.

A cool thing to see.  :)

You better like Pink Floyd, or you wont like Atlas  :hihi: cof cof

So i wanna buy some cds from this band... which cds should i buy first. Let's say the 3 best.. can u tell me?

Animals, Dark Side of the Moon, and The Wall.  You could also put Wish You Were Here in that list.

I like the final cut as well. Sometimes I think me and Roger are the only ones who like that record ;-)

my dad likes it too :)

Add me to that list.  Kind of has a "The Wall, Pt. 2" feel to it. 

I need to see him in Paris in June

the show was INSANE! Greatest production i've ever seen.  anyone here on the fence should definitely go. this is a MUST for any floyd fan!!!!

I have really got into Another Brick In The Wall Part 2, really good music and sounds. The lyrics are really strong too and represent real life, and the state trying to control people.

Thanks to Axl for playing this song as part of the intro to November Rain, as now I've have a new found respect for the Floyd. : ok:

What i like about The Wall is on some tracks, they are kinda funky.

Thus me using the term "dark funk" to describe the style. Real cool style, i hope its picked up on in the future and used. Maybe ill use it, who knows.

Pink Floyd Dazzle Fans With Surprise Reunion Set

The surviving members of Pink Floyd reunited onstage tonight at London's 02 Arena during a stop on Roger Waters' Wall tour - marking only the second time that Nick Mason, David Gilmour and Waters had played together in the last 30 years. Waters and Gilmour performed "Comfortably Numb" as the crowd at the arena went absolutely insane, and during the finale of "Outside the Wall," Gilmour returned to the stage alongside Mason, who played a tambourine.
