I know it’s sacrilege, but frankly I found PF close to the edge of boring.

Well, we still have Brit Floyd!
I went and saw
"Several Species" this past June and had a great time.

I think I understand Syd Barrett and it was sad to watch/hear the documentary about him showing up at a rehearsal, hung around for a while (no one wanted to break (into) his trip), ... said nothing ... and walked out having never spoken to anyone and ... as far as I know ... no one ever saw him again
Brilliant musician and inovator that took acid and never came back
I think I did ... I understand Syd

Well we will always have the studio albums. Not seeing them live is no big loss. Their live concerts were basically a note-by-note replication of their studio music with a semi-interesting backdrop.
Was listening to the Meddle albums a few nights ago and my dog still goes nuts whenever "Seamus" plays.

The impression that I got from any recent interviews is that any problems between Gilmour and Mason are one-sided on Gilmour’s part, mostly because of Gilmour being unwilling to do any more tours.

My thoughts too.
Didn’t know they were still around.

Long-term members. Waters left back in 1983.

As of now, only two of the four longest-term band members are still alive - and they can barely stand to be in the same room together. At first glance, I thought you meant they could barely stand up and was going to admonish you not pick on the elderly...

Is a bummer... really too bad Roger Waters is such a supreme A-hole.

Their first albumn and the first few were wonderful.
Young men who were full of idealism.....never mind the instrumentals...I think I listened to the DSOTM for a whole year in high school.
Roger Waters lives in NYC. You know my take as a 53 year old is that he grew up with socialism and his lyrics became so depressing later in life.
The memory of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime....yep that first albumn is my fave!

I worked for a short period on a project called “Pink Fraud”. Gilmour has always been one of my favorite guitarists.
