Any Pink Floyd Fans in the House?

[Inkana7]

My favorite band of all time. Period. The first album I ever owned was Dark Side of the Moon.

I could discuss them all day, so let's get the ball rolling.

Any other Floyd heads on The Mane?

[Dagmar]

I've long stated that my DREAM concert would be Pink Floyd at Red Rocks.

I can dream...

[Los Broncos]

Big fan here, started listening to them in my teens, getting high and stuff. My favorite is wish you were here, that whole album is about Sid Barret. The wall is also one of my favs.

[SureShot]

I saw The Australian Pink Floyd Show in Youngstown last year. They sound exactly the same and do a lot of the same effects. Amazing show. I've never seen them live, but my parents have, during their reunion tour in 1986-87. They said it was one of the greatest shows they've ever seen, and they've seen a lot!

Wow - they released a video?


for those who havent heard of this tribute band - wikipedia has a small article on them

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gre..._the_Sky_(band)

but the link to the band's website is no good....


"This group presents a three hour show of Pink Floyd material that seeks to capture the content and presence of a live Pink Floyd show."


and its AWESOME! They do a great job

[watermock]

First time I got stoned, I was at my brother's and his friend had come back from 'Nam and brought back REAL tai stick that is doped with opium. So I'm high as a kite and going into that "opium den" comfort zone.

So, they put on Dark Side of the Moon which I had never heard on his fancy Sony...and when Time was playing...before the alarm clocks and bells went off, he calmly walked over and cranked it up to mega tick tick tick...DINALING...I freaked out like a scared cat and they fell down in tears laughing.

Is there anyone who DOESN'T like Pink Floyd, especiallly their first two albums?

lol

looks like a bit of a communication gap - I was refering to a tribute band called 'Great Gig in the Sky' who does excellent stage shows based on 1970's era Floyd (up to and including The Wall)

I was thinking for a second this cover band must be in real good with the real Pink Floyd if they could also release a video named Pulse

[Jason7730]

I am a big fan and have seen them twice in AZ. Can't name one fav.
Prolly the best light shows I have ever seen. IMHO

Sorry man, floyd did the pulse.

[rbackfactory80]

Used to be a huge Floyd Fan. Now I cant stand most of what they did except Dark Side of the Moon. Its not that I think they are no good, just something happened along the way. I've listened to it all from Uma Guma's Carefull with that Axe Eugene to the Wall for many years. I also have just about everything they ever did excluding their live performances and even many of those.

[Spider]

Sorry bro , I was more the southern rock type ...... Greg Allman , Marshal Tucker band , Lynard Skynard aka 38 special , Elvin Bishop ,Ozark mountian daredevils etc..........

I know...

but I was thinking cover band while you thinking original band....so I thought for a sec that the cover band also released a video named Pulse...which would be kinda strange unless they had some kind of relationship with Waters and/or Gilmour

nevermind...

lol

You mean Piper at the Gates of Dawn(1967) and A Saucerful of Secrets(1968)?

Pink Floyd was around for quite some time before Dark Side of the Moon. I highly suggest listening to their stuff from then, especially Barrett's work. Buy Opel, a collection of Barrett's solo work when you can really see how insane the man was. A genius, but insane.

I have a Barrett album, crazy diamond. He was crazy, but man he was good.

[Atlas]

I have 8 of their albums but I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan. I do like their music though.

[Sodak]

Pink Floyd is best enjoyed with Mushrooms.

Is Roger Waters playing with the band again? I never really liked his solo stuff too much, but I think he brought out the best in Pink Floyd.

Favorite albums? Dark Side, Animals, The Wall.

Opel came out a few years ago. It's got a bunch of behind the scenes things where Gilmour, who produced it, kept the tapes running. It gives a really eerie look into his mind at that time.

I'm have all of their albums, with copies of about 3/4th of them. That's ironic considering I've been listening to Led Zeppelin for the past 3 hours.

No, I don't think the band will ever play together again. Although, David Gilmour and Rick Wright work together on eachother solo stuff. Pink Floyd was at it's best when all 4 members were contributing equally. Only two tracks on Dark Side of the Moon were completely written by Waters, Brain Damage and Eclipse. Some of The Wall's best songs were Gilmour-written-Comfortably Numb, Young Lust, Hey You and Run like Hell.

My favorite has to be Dark Side of the Moon, followed by Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
