They've been replaced by Britney, American Idol, and top-40 bullchit.

Regarding the Wizard of Oz and DSOTM...they only match up if you are properly enhanced/impaired (depending on your point of view). I have an AVI with the two superimposed and the relationship is tenuous at best.

AKAK, I am quite impressed that you know who Syd is at your young age, he was the inspiration for the entire "Wish You Were Here" album.

Was that the same tour as "the fireworks incident"?

Roger Waters = Pink Floyd.

If not for Roger Waters, nobody would even know who Pink Floyd was.

Pink Floyd was ALREADY WELL KNOWN with Syd Barrett at the helm. A book is due out about the making of the Dark Side of The Moon. I have read he Advanced Reading Copy, reading this book will show you how false your statement is.

What Shall we Do Now? and When The Tigers Broke Free were both left off of The Wall at the time, due to "Sound Quality".

I saw Floyed back in the 90's. Best concert I've ever seen. Have always been a fan and am amazed by how many people do not understand what the words are about.

Sad to say but that was NOT Pink Floyd, what you saw was one of David Gilmour's solo tours. I enjoyed his first one and bought his first two solo albums, but since he screwed Roger via the courts I have never dropped a dime his way, the back-stabbing bastid!

Unfortunately the radio station near me is "Classic Rock". They play al the stuff I loved when I was young. Over and over and over. Im kinda burned out on hearing Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Rolling STones (never liked em much), Zepplin, AC/DC, and related bands. Its like they have 1 album of side a songs and play it back to back.

I would definately have to disagree with you on this single point. If from 85-95 was "The Solo David Gilmour" tours, how is it that Roger Waters needs at times 3 guitarists, to capture the sound of Gilmour, and Snowy White is the best of the three.

I used to agree with you, however, Gilmour sang the majority of the songs, had a superior voice, and is probably the best guitarist to lay their hands on a Strat (sorry SRV fans, just my preference).

Roger screwed himself, noone else did. But now at 60, he realizes that he screwed up. You could see it in his eyes, at Live 8, in between Wish You Were Here and Comfortably Numb.

My 1st ever Concert was Pink Floyd in 1988, and I saw both Division Bells shows at the Pontiac Silverdome in 94. I'll tell you all this much, the Silverdome, was NOTORIOUS for echo. Elvis cursed the place and ssaid he'd never play it again. Pink Floyd came in there and it is still the Loudest and Clearest concert my ears will ever hear.

Well, I'll be the first to say that RW could have had ten guitarists and not been able to capture the DG sound. DG is definitely the cleanest guitarist evah, SRV has him licked on speed though

Basically the "screwing" was simply the violation of what both have said was a gentlemans agreement to not use the name. Do you agree that Nick Mason and Richard Wright add nothing? During the latter tours when DG stopped soloing and took the name PF back (to boost the lagging sales figures) they had multiple drummers and keyboardists (some say NM and RW were unplugged) too. They were dragged along to satisfy the court ruling only.

Rumor has it that Roger and David have made up and are considering a US tour again. Hopefully it will not be a LA/NYC only tour like it was in 1980.

Showing my age, I saw Pink Floyd in '76 or 77 at Soldier Field in Chicago, believe it was the Animals tour. Had two story pigs floating across the stadium on wires. My first concert.
