They need to get back together soon...they keep dying off! Gilmore and Roger Waters just need to get along

David Gilmour, I think, would be more likely together again. Roger Waters will probably never get over that there was a Pink Floyd organized against his wishes. The Final Cut", the last album before the break up of the famous line up, was basically a Roger Waters solo album. I think Waters viewed Pink Floyd as primarily his band as Gilmour was brought in to replace founder Syd Barrett.

Good point, GDA. I was just watching a DVD about the making of Dark Side of the Moon -- the last album the band worked on as a band, according to them.

At the time, Floyd was still a relatively under the radar band in the U.S., and they hoped Dark Side would make them rich and famous. It did.

But then, there was nowhere else to go -- nothing to strive for. So they looked back, and wrote Wish You Were Here. But they were never a unit again like they once had been.

Still wish there was a reunion tour even just as a tribute to syd barret and rick wright

one of the ruly great bands. pretty much of any day since their music , like much of the music of the 70's seems to be still very popular today (an not just with us 50+'ers).
there was a breif shot of their drummer in this clip, and he didn't look like nick mason. did he die also?

ps i saw most of the really good rock bands in the 70's, but sadley, i missed out on pink floyd. i understand from my friends that their 70's shows were absolutly awsome!!!!

Granted it's not a Pink Floyd recording, but I posted a recording I made of The Machine (Floyd cover band from NYC) back in 2004:

I love Pink Floyd, evidenced by three of my tattoos, but I think you can pretty much chalk the full band down to "retired."

If you're a Pink Floyd fan, don't miss Several Species -- they're playing their annual gig at Pier Six this Saturday night. Local guys, but (IMO) a much better Floyd cover band than The Machine (whom I've also seen live).

They did a nice tribute when Syd Barrett died two years ago, and I'll be curious to see what they do this week to mark the sudden and sad passing of Rick Wright.

RIP to a great and under-appreciated part of one of rock's all-time great bands.
