Pink Floyd

[JohnMorrison73]

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

[BillBailey]

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

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

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.

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.

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.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

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.

I love his solo stuff.

[MadmanDan]

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...


 

[Verse Chorus Verse]

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

[freedom78]
