umm. . . .they CAN'T tour with the original lineup! syd barrett is too mentally unstable to do anything except gardening and painting. if anyone mentions pink floyd to him, he gets royally agitated.
and dave gilmour wasn't an original member, either.
the original members were:
syd barrett: guitar/vocals
roger waters: bass
nick mason: drums
rick wright: keyboards
dave gilmour came in to fill in for the increasingly mentally-unstable syd barrett. after barrett left, gilmour became his permanent replacement, and waters assumed most of the songwriting duties.
interestingly, though - gilmour helped produce and played on syd barretts solo-albums after replacing him in pink floyd.
