Driving down from Suicide rock yesterday ,I listened to Pink Floyd "The Wall" cassette in my tape deck, and wish that The Floyd would get together and tour. Well I get a call this morning from my younger brother telling me about the passing of Wright over the weekend. Well so much for my wish of the Floyd's return. I am thankful that I got to see Pink Floyd in 1987 and 1994. Thank you for all the great songs Richard Wright. "Great gig in the Sky"

The world is a darker place today and my dream will not be fulfilled.
Saw 3-man at the Knebworth '90 show in England and saw Roger 20 or so days later at the Berlin wall. From that point onward I'd dream of the time when the fearless 4 would get over their differences, like allot of their lyrics speak of, and at least perform once more together....... not to be.

pink floyd is my top 5 bands of all time. My very first FA, in Jtree- us and them- 1982.
the pompeii Dvd is worth the price. it comes with cuts of making dark side of the moon. best album of all time..
music of that era and of my generation has fueled me and so many of my adventures. hence the reason i use a lot of them for fa names..
rip..

How appropriate that he should pass on a full moon. There is no Dark Side of the Moon really.....
Hope you find The Great Gig in the Sky better than your wildest dreams!

So long and thanks for the tunes! The work will live on.
Kid- Live at Pompeii is obviously incredible. The DVD version that has the dark side making of stuff comes from a whole other DVD on the making of Dark Side. I got it on netflix. It wasn't as good as pompeii, but they tell you what they were thinking on a few of those Dark side songs.
Hail Animals!- the best album ever made.

RE:

sure is, an era ending no doubt.
think in terms of "heavy" rock LP's
Dark Side of the Moon will always be my
number one, left a major impact on me,
heck, even my dad thought it was somethin'
RIP Richard, you made a difference.

Pink Floyd in the Rose Bowl on the "Division Bell" tour was one of the best shows I've ever seen. I also saw the "animals" Tour in Portland Ore a long time ago......Both singular events.
Rest in Peace

I saw them twice. The first time was in 70 or 71 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, about the time Mettle came out. It was an amazing show where they had speakers every 20 feet or so around the entire place. They played on and on and the everyone in the audience was flying on cid, though that's pretty much SOP for their concerts then.
The other time was in the summer of 72 at the Hollywood Bowl. They had an array of searchlights behind the bowl, blowing great visuals like the sun's rays. This was the first time they performed Dark Side of the Moon (at least rumor had it) and it was simply the best. I remember it vividly to this day
