Just saw their Live8 performance for the first time. Holy shit I am blown away. They were just magnificent.
Sorry that this is repetitive. I've read the posts about their performance here all week, and, having just seen it for myself, I have to agree with everyone else. Wow.

Many of the Live 8 performaces were great, I'm glad MTV 'got it' that their coverage last week sucked!!!
My faves: Floyd, The Who, McCartney, Madonna, Green Day, Audioslave!!!

13. I had the sad task of explaining the Who to my daughter. |
|
She's 13. When she heard them play Don't Get Fooled Again, she decided they were 'good people' because that is the theme song to CSI. I had to tell her that the Who were around WAY before CSI.
Sigh.
Kids these days...

3. Roger Waters looked like he was having the time of his life. |
|
He's got some bridges to build, I hope he does.

10. Is there anywhere I can get a synopsis of the whole Waters thing? |
|
I'm only marginally aware of the bad blood, and I'd like to know more. (I've always liked Floyd, but I didn't keep up on the specifics of the split).

4. I was trying to play along with the solos on "comfortably numb" |
|
since I have been practicing those for weeks. Almost had it right, but then he started improvising at the end of the second one. :-) Great stuff. One of my favorite songs of all time.

26. That end solo in Comfortably Numb will be spoken of in awed, hushed tones |
|
for generations to come.
Gilmore got out of the way and let God speak.
I must see that again.
Are they streaming it somewhere?

It was mind blowing. How did they do that?

21. My first concert ever. Pink Floyd Animals tour. 1977 |
|
Soldier Field, Chicago.
They played ALL of animals. ALL of wish you were here. Then ended with Time and Money, if memory serves.
Amazing show!

22. I saw the same show in the same year ('77) |
|
at Milwaukee County stadium, just up the lake a bit from you all. Nice show to see for your very first concert. Loudest sound I ever heard was when they blew up the pig and dog balloons tethered to the stage. Wow! :nuke: :nuke:

27. Well, considering it was a Pink Floyd concert in 1977 |
|
that sort of goes without saying (the "joint" part, not necessarily the "first" part). ;-) I think it was the only outdoor concert I have ever been to where you could get high just breathing the smoke in the air.

I was 16, just got my license, and my neighbor who drove was too trashed to drive, so i drove his 1970 Cougar XR-7 home that night.
I remember people tossing M-80's over the crowd, bottle rockets flying up at the pigs and dogs, Watermelons being tossed around, huge beachballs, etc.
Very surreal night.
