Pink Floyd

Never got to see the 4-Man Floyd but, was lucky enough to see Gilmour, Mason & Wright perform once in 1988 & again in 1995. I caught both shows at the New England Patriots Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. Both shows happened around Memorial Day weekend. The icing on the cake was that, in both cases, the tickets were gifts! The '88 show was paid for by my girlfriend at the time & the '95 show tix were a Xmas gift from my Mom, who is also a Floyd Fan! I took my brother to the '95 show. Like me, my brother has been to countless concerts. Still, he said the '95 Floyd show was the best concert he'd EVER been to, despite the fact that it was only about 50 degrees out in pouring rain. Because of that, Floyd couldn't do their full stage show (ie; pyrotechnics & lasers) but, despite that, my brother stood by his "best concert ever" comment. Still, we were both somewhat disappointed that no tunes from "The Final Cur" were performed. At the very least, Gilmour could've sung "Not Now John"! While I regret never having seen the 4-Man Floyd, I'm thankful that I was able to see David Gilmours' 1985 solo tour backing the "About Face" LP as well as Roger Waters' tour the same year for "The Pros & Cons Of Hitchhiking". I cosider myself double-lucky because, the Waters show I saw (in Hartford, Conn.) was one of the few shows played with Eric Clapton! That was especially awesome, particularly when Waters did his "Best Of Floyd" set. Pink Floyd tunes are great to begin with but, to hear Clapton playing Gilmours' leads was something that really had to be seen & heard to really be appreciated. Too bad Waters never released a live LP of that tour! I'd pay serious money for a copy!

All I can say is that it was the early 80's reunion tour (minus Roger); I ended up backstage but yet I was escorted out of the show THREE times. PINK FLOYD is amazing... "Which one is Pink?"

I saw Pink Floyd 3 times, back in the late late 60's early 70's, before all the giant stadium show spectacle and giant floating pig balloons. The last time I saw them was the first time I heard "Dark Side Of The Moon", before the album was even released. They were just 4 guys standing on stage playing music that I had never heard anything like before or since. I saw the "Meddle" tour before that and "Atom Heart Mother" before that. I got into them when "Umma Gumma" came out. One of the greatest bands of all time and I feel really fortunate to have seen them. Mind blowing memories of a lifetime. Wish they were here.

Pink Floyd created the greatest music of all time. Too bad I wont ever get to see them in action in my lifetime. The closest I can get to the Floyd experience is watching David Gilmour play - hope he visits the US soon!

Pink floyd is the best band in the world period....david gilmour is THE BEST guitarist ever imaginable!!
