Imin2u, no worry to debate about tubes vs. solid state, cables or the best speakers when we're "^up^there^" !!
I just watched Remember That Night by David Gilmour with Rick on Keyboards which is great. David talked about Rick gaining more confidence with each performance and how he was coming out of his shell. Rick got standing ovations when introduced to the huge audiences. It was quite a shock to me and very sad to hear of his passing.
What a blow to the music world! I remember when I first saw the Floydsters in Denver for the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour and they opened with a dark stage and Richard Wright in the spotlight for Shine on you Crazy Diamond.
So Richard I say Shine on you Crazy Diamond....
I am not a rock fan but I love the stuff Pink Floyd did before "The Wall" (which I cannot stand). Meddle is a masterpiece.
"Great Gig in The Sky"...Till this day that song blows me away every time I listen to it..Hard to imagine Floyd has been around for that long already....Great band!!
