I'll be on the fast train to Best Buy in the AM to pick this up. Major thanks for the heads up.

Like many others, Pink Floyd was just a little before my time and I never saw them tour. I have seen Waters a few times, but what I would have given to go to one of their shows...

Thanks again!

Anyone else get a chance to listen to this set. I have to say the second DVD had some nice selections, including an accoustic version of Echoes and 3 Jam sessions done in David Gilmour's barn. Very cool and unique.

*End positive praise portion*

I like Pink Floyd and have been listening to them since 1973 but heard that Gilmour once said Sinead O'Connor is a "stupid girl" and I really like Sinead so think that was an uncool thing to say.

If I only listened to music produced by people whose opinions I always agreed with, my music selection would be very, very small.

Great album. Another fine output by Gilmour, proving once and for all who was the musical soul of Pink Floyd (I vote Wright and Gilmour). I cant believe someone on this board called Gilmour a "lucky sessions player" who would have been nothing without the rest of the group! I beg to differ. Yes,this is a great release. Sounds fantastic. i was scared the addition of an orchestra would be cheesy, but their contribution is very, very low key. In fact, you would think that their contribution is coming from a synth most of the time. Pink Floyd fan? I'm the biggest!

True, but considering she was good enough to sing a great version of Comfortably Numb with them I think that is unkind and arrogant of him. I like and listen to all kinds of music but have a preference for like-minded souls.

Her SNL stunt would have had nothing to do with it. It tanked her career and perhaps he was commenting on that.

Piper at the Gates of Dawn is one of the greatest albums of all time. Saucerful of Secrets and Meddle are good too.

However, Dark Side of the Moon and everything after it (including Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall) are trash in comparison. They're more like solo Roger Waters albums with guitar solos by Dave Gilmour. Poor Nick and Rick didn't get to have any input in the songwriting after 1973

I disagree almost completely

She was standing up for the truth which does not make her a stupid girl. I think she sang with Pink Floyd after that episode though so I doubt that is the reason he said that but it is probably part of the reason. Sinead is still performing live today so it didn't tank her career completely. Many people supported her in her stance. Me included. Her voice is crap now compared to how it used to be but she still is a current performing artist.

It's been quite time since last active Pink Floyd thread.

Saucerful for the win!

The 5 platter 180g vinyl box set for $119 is quite tempting, especially considering that you're given a free download pass such that you'll have it all on MP3 as well. http://www.amazon.com/Live-Gdansk-18...7219733&sr=8-9 As newly pressed 180g vinyl goes, that's actually a pretty decent price considering the nice packaging and other goodies that come with it.

Ehh, went with the 2CD/2DVD version for $26.99 instead.
