think Waters is playing Mexico. So's Robyn Hitchcock, with his backing band of Peter Buck, etc
Hope they're not targeted by the drug cartels |

Occasional guest appearances like he did with the Pretties and with Waters & Mason in May of 2011. Waters said that was his own swan song. Hope not.
Isn't Waters on tour now? Or will be in early 2012 maybe--i seem to remember him saying that on LA radio.?

Doubt they're gonna play too much together in future. Gilmour seems to be raising a family and is the lone hold out to any reunion
I think Nick Mason and Roger Waters still play on the odd live track, like if Rog is doing "Set the controls for the heart of the sun" as an encore at a live show
Hope the BBC take of that song from 1967 (off Top Gear) is part of the Saucerful of Secrets reissue, an album nearly as good as Piper! |

Good to see old wounds are healed and Waters and Gilmour are playing nice again.I wonder if they ever make mention of any Syd Barrett dedications during their current shows.Perhaps before breaking into "Wish You Were Here"? |

Pink will get rediscovered by new generations of collegiates every so often forever just as teh Beatles,Stones,and Zeppelin.The only measurable difference that will remain is the eternal shroud of mystery that always seems to encapsulate the group's classic rock rep.Unlike with the others,you could never and still CAN'T verbally articulate just WHAT that sound is when you try and drink in anything from the psych offerings to the grandiose visions of "The Wall".I myself have stopped trying.The whole matter is obscured by ethereal clouds. |

When i saw Floyd at Wembley Stadium in 1988, Waters had stopped Gilmour n co. from using the giant inflatable pig, as he had the copy -right to it or whatever.
A great chher rose from the crowd as a giant pig, complete with massive genetalia ( and therefore different enough to Waters pig to avoid legal problems) sailed over our heads!  |

All Floyd's for knighthood for their contributions to British commerce and culture!(or should that be the other way around?)A posthmous recognition for Syd Barret as well! |

I would LOVE to see an entire two hour or so home video of some of the Floyd's better "liquid light" performances from the psych clubs of London circa 67.I believe their was a film made then,maybe its on dvd or old vhs tape.Its called something like "When The Lights Going Down in London" or something like that.or maybe these clips could be released in tandem with some similar Velvet Underground shows! |

Reissues of "Dark Side" and "Wall" in duly enhanced forms will undoubtedly thrill critics and collegiates alike for sure.However,I believe the insistance of many on this network would be more concentration of some of the previously less investigated works,particualrly the ones involving Syd Barrett.If one were to delve deeply into at least the better of these including lyrics,one may find Barret's influence more abundant than he originally conceived,if he conceived of it at all.Barret and Lou Reed shared the same fundamental approach.They despised conventionalism and in further process actually were among those who helped unconventionalism actually became a very conventional mode of artistic conveyance.Perhaps this attitude was the grass roots of Punk and New Wave.By the way,does anyone else here recall their reactions to the back to back loses of both Barrett and Arthur Lee within two weeks of each other in 2006? |

the Dark Side is something like 6 cds/dvd/blu ray discs
That'll do well - probably on the charts somewhere still! |
