Dave Gilmour is playing on Jools Holland at the moment on bbc hd and bbc2. Saw it earlier in the week so thought I'd catch this extended one too.

Last year I bought Pulse on DVD.

It sounds absolutely fantastic on Surround sound.

I dont think the neighbours were best pleased on Christmas Day though paperbag

I have to agree with that.

But not, I suspect, in the way you meant.

Who prefers Floyd before, or after Barrett? Personally, I think they improved after he buggered off...

Floyd's best years were after Barrett left but before Waters disappeared up his own arse.

This morning I had, delivered by Amazon, the 2CD+1DVD edition of Live at Gdansk, and I'm just about to fire it up on the hifi. It's the first CD I've bought for a while, but the 20-something minute version of Echoes was too hard to resist

I'll be sure to pick this one up... I'm a great fan.

To be honest i think Roger Waters is an absolutely amazing songwriter and lyricist.. His Solo albums are equally epic in the theme/lyrics department..

Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Amused to Death (Solo) have great depth..
I think the conceptual element of the band went with Waters.

However, it does seem Waters became a bit of a meglomaniac and extremely difficult to be in Pink Floyd with and i love post-Waters albums in a more direct way..

I can't think how many plays Delicate Sound of Thunder and Momentary Lapse of Reason have had since being a teenager in the 80's.

The Division Bell is quite an absorbing album.. Remember listening to it in the car and i got to wherever i was going with absolutely no memory of the journey!!!

My only gripe is that i wished they released more studio albums after Waters left.

Musicians don't often acknowledge film cameras when on stage, so it was a
poignant moment when Rick looked directly into the camera during 'On An Island'
and smiled. frown
