* Pink Floyd disappoint fans with Division Bell re-release - Telegraph

[joeinid]

Absolutely

[NorthStar]

I love Roger Waters, and Richard Wright. ...And David Gilmour. ...And Nicholas Mason. ...Rick Wakeman? Yes, him too.

[NorthStar]

Ummagumma ... Pink Floyd

[dlb2]

Yeah I like that Pink Floyd dude too.

[highEndguy]

1000000%

[Rufus McDufus]

Oh yes! I don't wish to condone bootlegs (or ROIOs as they're sometimes known - google it) but PF have a lot of them.

[NorthStar]

Yeah I like that Pink Floyd dude too.

Who's he? He's got a name?

[dlb2]

Who's he? He's got a name?

That's Pinky!


(Bob Geldof)

[NorthStar]

Is he a newer Pink Floyd's band member?

[dlb2]

He played the main character in "The Wall." He was the singer in a band called "The Boomtown Rats."

[socfan12]

Only have DSOTM, don't even have The Wall. Do have Roger Water's Amused To Death, awesome album!

I know Doug; was just pulling your nose.

That, is an awesome album!

[iosiP]

Have both the "Shine On" and the new "Discovery" boxes.
The second one sounds more high-end but all the soul is gone. Too bad!

"... an anniversary box sex of The Division Bell," (fifth line) - Did you guys catch that typo?

[NorthStar]

Have both the "Shine On" and the new "Discovery" boxes.

I got the Shine On one.

* High-end sound without soul is like a gourmet meal after eating a big onion (raw).

[Mark Jones]

Yes, Huge.

[slowgeezr]

Well, yes. Yes I am.

[NorthStar]

It's cool, very cool that we have fans, big huge Pink Floyd fans, and you are free to say more too; like perhaps naming your favorite album(s)?

...Or anything else that might relate to them. ...Like live experiences for example, and your mint unopened copies of the very first pressing of DSOTM & WYWH.

* I saw them live in 75 @ The Montreal Autostadium (June 26 - Wish You Were Here Tour).
...Wow, 40 years ago already (39)!

Anyone saw them live during their DSOTM tour in 73? ...I missed that one @ the Montreal Forum (March 12).
{I was @ school, stoned on acid. }

So cool, wow. I started going to concerts in 1980, but have never seen Floyd... :-(

Not my favourite but I love "Meddle" a not too talked about album. Growing up in Montreal the local news on ch12 (Pulse) used "One of these days" as their theme song. Can you remember that Bob?

[Shadowfax]

Ummagumma ... Pink Floyd

Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict

[volks]

I love PF......always have always will.

[Toobs]

You really need to ask?????? Just have a look at my avatar

Saw them live June 28 1975 at Ivor Wynne Stadium Hamilton Ontario Canada(Wish You Were Here tour). I remember it like it was yesterday. I even remember where I was sitting. It was easily the best concert I ever attended

[Toobs]

My favorite Floyd albums???????

ALL OF THEM!!!

[NorthStar]

Yeah, me too Bob I luv them all. Pink Floyd is number one 'Soft Machine' in classic psychedelic music.
...The most compatible music with the most varied drugs on the planet.

By the way, one of the band members jammed with a member of the Soft Machine band before.
* Trivia Question: Who was he?

Bob
I just googled the Soft Machine. Wikipedia listed all of the band members including members that played with them one time or another and none of them were from Pink Floyd. The only one I recognized was Andy Summers(lead guitarist for The Police)

[NorthStar]

Not my favorite but I love "Meddle" a not too talked about album.

CHOM-FM 97.7 on that r.a.d.i.o. dial.

On TV: "One of these days...Alice" - The Honeymooners.

_______________

Channel 12 (CTV) - Pulse News ...From the 70s? ...Because they lasted 40 years and started in the 60s.
...Owned by the Bell Division (Canadian telecommunication corporation).

I'm trying to recoup my history, by googling and it's tough. ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CTV_Montreal
But by the mid 70s I was gone from Montreal, to Vancouver (75-76).

It's that theme song "One of These Days" that I'm trying to remember. ...From Pulse News, and a Division of Bell Canada.
It's almost like Pink Floyd took their inspiration from Canada...or the other way around.

I have extraordinary memories about Pink Floyd; some of them you guys wouldn't simply believe!
...Like when I was about 16-17 years old for example, and built my first ever center rear channel speaker! Yes, you read that right!
...And all because of Pink Floyd. ...Their broadcast show on TV: Live at Pompeii (1972 I believe).

[Petro85]

floyd!!!!
Animals is my top 2 favorite alltime albums with allmans at the fillmore east. two records i never get tired of.

[NorthStar]

Bob

Ok, I wasn't right as he wasn't with them but only jammed with some of their band members in some sessions.
...Sorry about that; my fault, and not the first time. ...And Soft Machine and Pink Floyd played at couple gigs together (one after the other).

I like a fair amount of PF except DSOTM. Now before the attacking starts let me say that DSOTM is NOT a bad album at all, nothing wrong with it in my view. It's just that I am so burned out on it that I can go another 5 years before hearing a single track from it again.
One of my favorite albums though is Momentary Lapse of Reason. Play that one on a good system and woohoo! It's good for demos too.

[NorthStar]

Ummagumma

My favorites...big fan:

No Atom Heart Mother ?

David's guitar work, is sick!

Love PF. All their albums are good.

The new 20th annivesary remastered Division Bell is superb

As is the reissue of the Syd Barrett lp's, spinning right now

[CDLehner]

YES; thank you for the Syd love, XV-1. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn...is very different, from PF's later work; but brilliant in its own right.

I consider it, one of the many master-works; released the year I was born (1967)

Hey Chris
Nice to see you on a sane site My favorite PF is Meddle and Pulse is good too.

Hey CDL, as you know Piper is Almost totally Syd

[CDLehner]

Hey CDL, as you know Piper is Almost totally Syd

And the brilliant Jugband Blues, from Saucers. Who knows, what Roger left on the cutting-room floor; after they decided to kick Syd out.

[CDLehner]

Nice to see, you're already here! One less member to poach

Saw the original Wall concert at Nassau Coliseum back when I was in college. My drummer friend (back home) picked up 2 tickets. I think they charged the outrageous (at the time) price of $15. Wish I still had the stub. I remember seeing fans trying to scalp tickets and willing to pay "up to $50". I also remember the overwhelming sweet smell of intoxicants being imbibed. No need for smoke machines back in those days.

Saw the new version about 2 years ago back at the Coliseum. The show is so much more visual now. Now the Coliseum is famous for its bad sound, but the 3D surround sound setup they use for this show is just superb. Also saw it at Yankee Stadium last summer with my daughter (also a huge fan) and the sound was still great.

[volks]

I truly adore Pink Floyd. They are my favorite band in the world. I have every Album and the Discovery CD Set.
I also love Roger Waters Solo albums and have them. Roger waters ego is as big as a house, but to me HE is Pink Floyd!
I like David Gilmour's solo albums as well and his efforts after Roger Waters left PF are amazing as evidence on The Division Bell.
Im excited as hell for this new album comming out soon!

OK; it's official. I hate you!

If I had to name, 5 concerts I wish I could go back in time and have attended; PF performing The Wall, would be one of them! (for the record, so to speak...Woodstock, LZ at MSG '73; Prince's after-show, at Paard van Troje in The Hague, Netherlands '88. And...???

As for the "new" versions, of The Wall show; IDK. I haven't been, of course...but I've seen the videos. While I know it's not the same, I can't help but recall a review I once read. The guy said...it's amazing. It takes 3 times as many peformers...to do what 4 used to; and do it half as well...lol.

You know; I never thought of it before...but they really are, almost like McCartney & Lennon. Roger Waters and Paul McCartney were the "genius", and the driving force; but John Lennon and David Gilmour are what give the work heart and soul.

And one, is not nearly as good...alone; without the other.

You're gonna hate me too. I saw the Wish You Were Here tour June 28, 1975 in Ivor Wynne Stadium Hamilton Ontario Canada. I remember it like it was yesterday

Nah; maybe a little miffed

Don't get me wrong; The Wall isn't my favorite PF album...but it is the show I would have liked to see the most.

Didn't they only do it...in NY, LA, and London?

[CDLehner]

Next best thing? It'll have to do

Spinning now...

Buy the P.U.L.S.E. dvd set. It's The Division Bell Tour recorded live at Earl's Court, London England. The date was October 1994. It's a two dvd set and the music and light show is absolutely mesmerizing.

Well worth the $$$
