Pink Floyd has been way over for me for a very long time.

I'll see them on the dark side of the moon.

I think the gig was up when it was discovered that their "creative genius" came from watching re-runs of "The Wizard of Oz".

One of the most pretentious bands on the planet will plague me no longer.

Guess we'll have to settle for the Australian Pink Floyd tribute shows.

>>Pink Floyd "Officially Over"

Works for me. I quit smoking weed a looooong time ago.

Technically though, that was some great music, and some good high-times, but alas, everything Earthly comes to an end. The Sun is the same, in a relative way, but I'm older. Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death. :)

My favorite band. My tagline kinda gives that away. I'll have to drive from KC to Chicago to see them.

...Gilmour taking his first stab at playing saxophone.

That should be interesting. I wonder if Gilmour on sax will sound anything like Gilmour on guitar. Sometimes a musician's natural sense of phrasing will carry over from one instrument to the other.

Greatest band ever. Best band ever.

But, they are all grandfathers now and don't need to go through the rigors of touring or producing an album.

Besides, they have nothing to prove to anybody.

Wish I could say more, but I'm just a lost soul swimming in a fishbowl.

One of my very first albums was their first album, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn". "Interstellar Overdrive" was so far removed from the mainstream fare on the radio in 1967 it was listening to a bunch of Martians. First time I saw them live was in 1971 at CWRU. Mind-blowing, and probably the best sounding live concert I've heard, ever, and it was in a gym!. For all you youngsters out there, IMHO, their best work came before Dark Side and includes Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother and Meddle. They were true pioneers.

Actually Roger Waters hadn't ruled out a full album performance (say Dark Side of the Moon) again for the right event. But I had never heard any talk of a reunited Pink Floyd tour.

Besides Poison 13 is playing this month, The Saints are touring the US, and the original Sonics may re-unite to play a gig in May.

I've seen Roger Waters 3 times. Too hard to get any kind of decent seats to enjoy the show (although I did manage 6th row center tickets to Radio KAOS).

Rock and roll has more energy in a club.

I know I'll get static for saying this but Dark Side of the Moon was the beginning of the end for PF. It was their worst LP up to that time. I know the world loves it, but I grew up on stuff like "See Emily Play" and "Careful with that Ax, Eugene."
