RabbieBurns Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I really want to buy the One Night... thing he did on BluRay, but its so damn expensive its prohibitive. I
Andrew_C Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Live in Gdansk is worth a listen. I've only seen him playing with the rest of the band!
powdarrmonkey Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Is a dude I'm listening to Pink Floyd... Yes. Yes he is.
Haptic Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I have all the pink floyd albums and yep they are superb, I remember when I was 17 and started listening to them wow trippy start to my teen years lol:troll:
powdarrmonkey Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Where's my troll... ah there he is Love the early Floyd up until 'The Final Cut'. After that, hmmm not so sure. Gilmour's solo stuff is a bit wishy washy. I've been playing guitar for years, so I really appreciate his guitar playing. I can play guitar pretty well, but I'm absolutely fascinated by the art of songwriting. My favourite band is 'The Mountain Goats'. Their songs are intense. Sorry, but the later Floyd stuff got all generic and bland. The only solo Gilmour album I like is 'About Face'. Roger Waters solo stuff is also lesser than the early Floyd. His high spots were 'Radio KAOS' and 'Amused to Death'. That is all. Actually I agree with you. The solo works are very valid, but they're not Floyd and nor are they trying to be, and that's important. I like the later soundscapes, but I'm not keen on Final Cut either. I think the established sound was too expansive to then try and produce and album with such a message; it needed a smaller band and sound really, something a bit simpler.
Batman Posted June 19, 2009 Author Posted June 19, 2009 Something I haven't done is check out his solo stuff. There's only so much music I can get around to listening to... I'm a guitarist too, so I guess I have a keen interest in the guitarist for any band I like the sound of. Gilmour's got to be one of the best; I love the expressive way he plays... it's awesome.
TNE Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Floyds OK but the big news this week for all serious music lovers is the Nolan's are making a comeback:getmecoat:
joe90bass Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Is a dude I'm listening to Pink Floyd... Agreed! I was lucky enought to go to Earls Court in 1994 to watch the mighty Floyd. Words can't express how amazing a gig that was

mikeglover Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Dark Side of the Moon has to be one of the best albums of all time. 1
Andrew_C Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I saw The Wall in 197? and the '94 gig. I went to '94 with a bunch of people including someone who had toured as soundcrew; when we left we all looked like this --> It was STUNNING!
ButterflyMoon Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Never really got into Floyd. Am a dyed in the wool Stones fan!
witch Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Saw Pink Floyd back in 1975 (I think, it is a long time ago, man ) They were amazing..must admit though, I do like their earlier stuff but I have got 'On an Island' and it is very good
nsherin Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Saw Pink Floyd back in 1975 (I think, it is a long time ago, man ) They were amazing..must admit though, I do like their earlier stuff but I have got 'On an Island' and it is very good 'On an Island' is excellent, as is the 'Live in Gdansk' album, which was part of Gilmore's tour to promote 'On an Island'. Been listening to quite of bit of their live 'PULSE' album the last few days. Wonder if they will release it on Blu Ray at all?

I went to '94 with a bunch of people including someone who had toured as soundcrew; when we left we all looked like this --> It was STUNNING! It's a gig I'll never forget! One part I remember was comfortably numb with one of those disco type balls opening up into what looked like a flower, simple, but with the awesome guitar solo going on, lighting effects and the atmosphere it was about as close to heaven as I'll ever get
Andrew_C Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 That mirror ball had a HUGE lantern built into it. From memory a 4kW HMI which is the same type physically as data projectors, just 30 time the power. The ball itself is still around, in some hire companies yard. It would look good in a school hall for a disco!

Andrew_C Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 the best I could come up with was flower like!The ball did open like a flower, to reveal the light. There were several follow-spots shining on it too. Image link
