"To Know Him Is To Love Him"??? What a weird choice! I once did a gig with the woman who wrote that song...Carol Connors is her name. She also wrote the Rocky theme. She's like an American Zsa Zsa Gabor

sorry...i saw that david had the song down as written by phil spector, and that is correct. carol sang it as the lead singer of the teddy bears.

They're still playing The Wall? Some things need to be left to rest

wall = $ , and these guys are retirement age and want to leave the planet with as much money as possible. and considering they didn't get the $150 per ticket paydays back in 1980, they're making up for it now.

Exactly: what's done is done! Plus without some good acid it just wouldn't be the same - plus Richard Wright's not available.

You ever see Nick's car colletion - it'd make most museums cry - it ain't about the money.

good for them , they are a huge part of our history , and I think they still love playing

Syd's not available either...so who really cares. I stopped caring about 20 years ago when I got my wisdom teeth pulled wearing a walkman playing a mix cassette of the Wall and Animals....it was kind of cool but my interest in Floyd was already on the wane.

Gilmour playing with the reconstituted Pretty Things was more compelling than this ...even though he still insisted on his super cheezy ultra squashed non-organic tone.

well maybe it isn't ALL about the money. maybe they just like playing the songs. but trust me...a good part of it is the money. you can never be too rich.

I am partial to this band regardless of who is left , my first arena ( anaheim stadium } was their animals tour and that is what started me playing bass , I think I was 14 , I was blown away , and I was very saddened by the passing of the 2 guys , the band means so much to me , as I said good for them , I hope I am still playing and alive when I am their age , keep going guys , does anyone think they need the money ?

need? no. want? that's a different story. all these huge superstar acts like u2 and mccartney and eagles and whoever don't need the money but they damn sure take it.

craigb43 · #15 07-13-2010, 12:33 AM

yea , and all those guys do good things with it ( the dough ) besides thinking of themselves , as I say good for them , im sure they keep their share to , but from what I understand they share it as well

I saw them play June 28,1975 @ Ivor Wynne stadium in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (near Toronto) for $8.50. Still have the ticket stub.
Have you guys seen Gilmour playing on "The Strat Pack" DVD? (a tribute to the Stratocaster on it's 50th anniv. from England) Great audio! Pino is the house bassist.

I have a bootleg cd of that tour concert in Hamilton '75. It's so cool to hear now what you heard live 35 years ago. You & I have a memory in common loopee. (a couple days apart)

Looking forward to Roger's show of "The Wall" coming up this November in Houston. That would be super cool if DG were to show up, but I seriously doubt that will happen. For all of you that are tired of Floyd, it's cool, attendance is not mandatory.
