and unfortunately, I think Ober is probably right. Not too many old timers can pull off a good show anymore.

I never got to see them in concert. I hear it was amazing, but I guess I will never know.

I'll put it this way, if I had known what the setlist was, recorded it from the albums, put it on a tape, and pressed play when they came out, I'd have missed nothing.

I just saw one of the laser-light shows with my gf once... it was really very good with the exception of a few parts... I didn't think watching lasers for an hour could be entertaining, but believe me it was...

I know you're joking, but have you seen any pictures of him lately? I saw one about a year ago or so; he fits that "crazy recluse" profile perfectly.

Post by: [stealth] on June 13, 2005, 09:25:32 PM: I really like the Floyd's psych era material - I've got a bootleg of them live in Europe between Ummagumma and Meddle and it's just fantastic, better than any of their official live releases.
