Wow, just like 2012 all over again!
And today 2012 never sounded so good.

A couple of weekends ago up in the mountains while playing poker, drinking beer and camping the oldest guy in the group (he's 55) requested some Pink Floyd. I put on More and about 20 minutes later he asked when I was going to play some Floyd. I then put on Saucerful and got blank stares from all of them. Finally I tried Obscured by Clouds and when they complained again I explained that I didn't have Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, Animals or The Wall on my music player. They were bummed. I ended up playing Moon8 by Brad Smith and happiness ensued.
I guess 8 bit Floyd you know is better than smoking great Floyd you don't know.
Those situations are when I pull out my favorite version of DSOTM.
It frequently takes folks a bit to realize they have been dupped.
If you have not seen the youtube videos of Pink Floyd in 2016, live at Pompeii, you're in for an amazing treat.
It's Pulse on steroids, outdoors and with LED lighting. Simply unbelieveable:
...is the Live at Pompei new release really Floyd?? or Gilmour??
Dub side is cool, but I kinda like the trance remixes of Wish You Were Here ...
And - is the Live at Pompei new release really Floyd?? or Gilmour??
Pink Floyd, with a good light show, AND SOME MIND ALTERING CHEMICALS is pretty much the ultimate musical experience.
Was there anything after War? Boy and October are the quintessential U2 albums for me. War is good, the rest are pop nightmares.I have noticed certain bands have works that are somewhat ignored or are simply unknown to fans who otherwise like them. Floyd is a glaring example as most know them from Dark Side onwards.
Another would be U2. Rare is the fan who is familiar with Boy or October. It is as if they began with War.
One of these days, I have to get off my ass and listen to Fleetwood Mac's pre 1975 output.
Looks like its too expensive stateside "in print"Is this available somewhere other than utube?

I've noticed that with several songs. After watching the Pulse version of Comfortably numb as well as Run, the album version sounds downright subdued.Weird, I gave this a listen and at the same time I started the video, the radio played the album version of the same song.
Video is better...
I did not know (until now) that Christy covered "Shine On..." I'll bet Christy's cover is superb. This is an album I must track down. Thanks for posting this info.
