Great read indeed.

I get a kick out of Gilmour comparing the Live 8 reunion to sleeping with your ex-wife.

Well always have these to remember them by:

I do understand the bands stance on a "drug free" environment after Syds past problems......but I find it ironic that "recreational" users of narcotics have probably enjoyed the Floyd more than most.

Good article...............most of it is old news, but it begs one to question..............what if Syd hadn't gone off the deep end? Would the Floyd have stayed together? But, if the original cast had stayed together, would they still have produced the great music that they did w/o Gilmour in the mix?

It's a riddle with no answer.............who knows, maybe David would've joined in eventually anyways.

while i respect waters and his substantial contributions, gilmour's voice and guitar and wright's keyboards are the essence of the floyd for me.

just watched the earl's court wall performance . . . waters was quite impressive, 53 minutes well spent for those that haven't watched it yet.
