2. Too funny...........

know the song - heard it for years and always liked it - first time I ever saw the guy singing it.
No where near what I was "expecting" the guy to look like!
Good stuff - thanks!

14. Lol, really? He's been the guitarist/singer (about half their songs) of Pink Floyd for 50 years ...

Trippy you've never seen him before

Of course, at the time (1975) ... he looked like this ... that a bit more like it?

[Iggo]

23. Here's what he looked like back then.

5. tears streaming down my face !

[Ohiogal]

6. Yep!

[lark]

7. Lovely version of a wonderful tune.

Gilmour writes some beauties. I've been a huge Pink Floyd fan since 1969 so Gilmours appearance wasn't surprising to me, lol.

[Ohiogal]

8. Me too.

9. Did you get to see them when they had the wall of speakers, the biggest setup ever?

Wow, mind blowing.

[Ohiogal]

10. No, unfortunately, I never saw them live.

Did you?

[lark]

11. Yes saw them twice.

Saw them debut Dark Side of the Moon at the Fillmore (WOW) then again after Piggies in Oakland. Dark Side was the finest concert I've ever seen and the most amazing experience of my life!

[Ohiogal]

12. I can only dream ...

Lucky you !!

15. Bigger than the Grateful Dead?

13. Syd Barrett actually came into the studio when they were

recording the album. After not seeing him for years they didn't recognize him since he was overweight and had shaved his head and eyebrows off. Interesting timing! This was written about Syd (P Floyd's original songwriter and lead guitarist and vocalist).

[mr_lebowski]

16. Yeah ... rough eight years ...

For Piper (1967):



For WYWH (1975):



Gee, I wonder where Roger got the 'look' for Pink in The Wall?

[BigmanPigman]

17. The lyrics to "Shine On..." were right on target.

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine

[Cetacea]

19. But it also assured that Barrett would never work again

Hard to get work when the world thinks you are crazy.

[mr_lebowski]

20. He was in fact quite clinically mentally ill, so there's that ... nt

[Cetacea]

22. "He knew what they wanted but he wasn't willing to give it to them."

21. You know I could sing that off the top of my head, and get every word right, but ...

Your point is well-taken

Also, you missed Parts VI-IX ... I believe it starts 'Nobody knows where you are ... how near or how far ...' IIRC ...

18. Ahhhh-good music for a Sunday morning!
