Isn't that song in D?
Therefore it's a low "D" ?

Tuning for the Wall is DADG. I believe RW was using Hi-Watt gear back then along with a P bass.

That's what I've heard as well, in any event... I get to see Roger on Monday at summerfest... Playing Darkside the whole way through.

I'm excited.

I haven't seen him (pink floyd at the time) since I was 4 back in 88 (I had cool parents).

Sorry, just got me excited again.

Back on topic

Peace

Depends on the interview that you read. A Gilmore interview says that, a RW one says differently.

Dave played the fretless intro on hey you, and that is all I thought, and Roger Waters left Pink floyd in 1985, on a Momentary Lapse of Reason, released in 1987, Tony Levin played on most of the album, and Guy Pratt played the accompanying tour in 1988, and on the Division Bell tour in 1994
