i've heard from a member on another list that viewed the
concert, and he reported "not a dry eye in the house".
i have to admit to a certain bittersweet feeling.
i'd love to see them have another go at it, but only
if they approach it the same way they did originally,
in the spirit of experimentation.
IMO, they need to be on the cutting edge
of
today's technology.
i just think it'd hurt their memory to release a
big "corporate" cd. the "roger needs the bucks" tour '05
or worse, do a "greatest hits" tour, becoming a nostalgia act.
mind you, i'd still wait in line for hours for tickets.
if anything, IMO that's what has taken post-waters floyd
down a notch to us purists. it's become a huge machine
that the remaining members have to protect for their
livelyhoods. they're having to keep mindful of history and
the established fanbase, not painting too far outside the lines,
or slowing sales of the back catalog.
i've seen the band that was on the marquee as "pink floyd"
twice, the animals tour, and the division bell.
i'm not 100% sure i want to count TDB. there were 17 people
on the stage!
