And for the time being it appears they like each other again!

Too bad they're gonna suck... I'm sure most of them aren't quite as doped up as they were when they put out their records.

I love Pink Floyd....

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 saw them in concert on the Division Bell tour, and it was truly underwhelming. The light show was great, but the music was mediocre at best. 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.

yeah, I'm going to have to go with the majority... I hope for their sake they don't suck so that we're not left with a wow-they-sucked taste in our mouths...

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...

See, that's the kind of reply I was looking for :)

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.

I gotta say, I thought he looked like a retired teacher, possibly one of those who touches his kids. Sad really. Guess the crazy diamond didn't shine on after all *shrugs*

That looks a little older than the ones I saw.  He looked positively awful in those.

Hmmm. Interesting interview with Syd's nephew here...

Can't decide if it makes me happy for him or sad for him :dunno:

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.
