just heard this on the radio a few minutes ago. R.I.P.

Floyd has always been my in my top 3 favorite bands of all time. I'm actually going to see Australian Pink Floyd in a couple months. Saw them last year and they were amazing. They NAILED Darkside of the Moon. Sounded as good as the original. I guess theyre doing The Wall this year, I cant wait.

Oh man.. R.I.P.
Pink's post Syd Barrett, "Ummagumma" is my all time favorite Floyd LP. I had the Euro version..... soft cover version of the album.
Funny, Pink Floyd and members never took drugs. I know, it's hard to believe.
.....Keith Richards will outlive everybody....
Party on Garth!

But everyone else on the tour sure did!

I was lucky enough to be a roadie with Britannia Row Sound during the Pink Floyd Animals tour and it was absolutely incredible. That was when they were heavy into special effects during the show. Helium balloons of the pigs, the giant round projection screen over the stage (it was hell to set up in the wind), tons of smoke machines, and over 200K watts of sound. And a very mellow crowd. No fights or stage rushing, no roided stupid security goons, no cops. Ahh, the good old days of rock and roll.

You must of had a great time.
You sure the balloons weren't filled with Nitrous Oxide? oke:
I play at bars and places to this day. You have to prop this 53 year old fart up.

Guess who? LoL! I fill glasses up that look like drinks. No alcohol..

I thought Barrett went nuts because of all the drugs he took, and they eventually had to let him go.:shrug:

RIP Wright.

Pink Floyd is way before my time, but they are still a favorite among people my age. That just shows how great their music really was, it's timeless.
