My all time favorite rock band is The Who. But I’d LOVE to see Pink Floyd live, so that would be my choice. It was just more of a “multimedia” event.

Besides, I got to see The Who Live around 1970 but I never got to see Pink Floyd live.

Chicago with Terry Kath


I saw them at the Seattle Center Coliseum back in the day. Tickets were $5. It was awesome! :)

I don’t believe the beatles put on much of a show. Back then it was just a bunch of guys on stage, with some lights, and a curtain behind them.

If I’m going to see a dream show, the key word is SHOW.

Have you checked out Brit Floyd on Youtube? Simply amazing. Replicating the full show.

Well, I wasn’t even born in 1975 so I couldn’t make it :)

I never went to one, but my understanding is that Pink Floyd put on visual extravaganzas in the 80s. Lots of props&sets, lights&lazers, etc. Very high end shows for the time.

The early Pointer Sisters stuff was unappreciated at the time, but I think much better than the pop stuff they got big hits with in the 80s.

I was glad to see these names, as I am one of the VERY oldies here and all those other bands are unknown to me.

Yep. they had speakers all around the stadium/venue, and then they would cycle the sound around the stadium. I never saw/heard it, but a friend did. He described it as pretty mind blowing.

Slight off topic, but my great regret is that I was born too late and never got to hear Jenny Lind sing nor Mark Twain swear. Not sure which I would choose if I had to pick.

Buck can still rip it on guitar.
Their new album is pretty good.
I will go to see them if they come around here.
