Gilmour and Waters Together Again

You don't really think DG needs money or gigs do you Azjake?

Probably the same old stuff part 358 to be churned out from these two aged 'freedom pass' eligible wrinkly rockers.

Yeah, what a bunch of old talentless coots, eh? :o)

That damn Gilmour can't stroke a note;did you see that sorry excuse for a solo at Live Aid couple years back? He should stow that Strat and just call it quits--what do a couple hundred thousand awe-struck fans know anyway!

. And Waters? you're right, the same old stuff.... no one's interested in hearing that tired old material from Wish You Were Here, DSOTM, Amused To Death anymore...Especially those hundreds of thousands who have still never had the pleasure...

They should just curl up, sip their tea and let all those *great* new bands with original material and instrumental talent take over...

None of which will ever replicate what those two accomplished.

Maybe I am old too at 47, but as long as those two can get to the gig in my town, I'll pay whatever their asking. So would a great many top guitarists who wish they had half of Gilmour's talent and sense of timing.... no pun intended..

Well said Samuel!

The style of music people tend to associate with Pink Floyd "psych-prog-space rock" hasn't been my cup of tea for a long, long time. But, thinking back to the one time I saw them, they absolutely tore it up. A really fierce rock band at their peak on the "Animals" tour (floating pig, notwithstanding).

Yes was the same deal. I don't spin the records anymore, but the live shows are memorable for the playing as much as the production values. Partly, because these bands usually have soloists who can really play. Pink Floyd specifically included.

The prog thing may be a little much for the purists who don't think that it has aged well (generally including me), but -IME- the live shows often feature great rock n roll, even if it is wrapped in way too much ribbon. I will try to catch this one when they hit LA.
