I had great floor seats close to the stage for the ‘Animals” tour concert at Philly’s Spectrum back around 1977. It was one of the most amazing shows I ever saw. ‘Animals’ itself wasn’t impressive, but they did one side of the ‘Wish You Were Here’ LP and then one side of the ‘Dark Side’ LP. That’s the stuff I went for.

But the floating stuffed furniture and animals were over the top. That concert brought a smile to my face.

One thing I’ll always regret was not going down to Pittsburgh with my roommates to see Floyd do the ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ concert in ‘73. When PF did the “Breathe in the air” refrain, they rolled open the roof of the Igloo (or Civic Center or whatever the name of the venue was). My roommates said it was a beautiful, starry night up there once all the pot smoke dissapated.

Anyways, I have every Pink Floyd album and they’ve always been one of my favorite bands. (Even had Sid Barrett’s ‘Madcap Laughs’ but I traded it away to somebody thirty-plus years ago. It stunk anyway.)

I also rememeber taking a date to see a Pink Floyd movie at a theater. It was called ‘Live at Pompeii’ and at the end of the film it showed Pink Floyd in the studio working on ‘Dark Side of the Moon’.

The only time I saw Pink Floyd (though I've been a huge fan since "Obscured by Clouds") was when I was a senior in high school. I went to The Wall concert at Nassau Colosseum, and it was the most amazing concert I've ever been to. However, the whole concept of "The Wall" (or at least a great part of it) was a screed against the fans. I do love the music though. But I enjoy David Gilmour's solo work far more than that of Waters.
