Richard I hope you and my mother are looking down at me from up there through the moon, making my day better and all the afternoons, to come and to pass, to live and not too fast. Rest in peace and may you be where you should, a pleasant place in your own time and space.
You've gotta love this. Most PF fans from the Waters era probably don't even know the stuff from the Barrett years. It's apples and oranges really, so there's no comparing the two. For my money though, the Barrett repertoire is so much more delicious and fantastic. Whereas the Waters stuff was very marketable. Syd's songs were creative in the sense that they took you straight out of this world...like Interstellar Overdrive and Astronomy Domine for examples.
Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music on guitar, no? I agree, this is a treat. Bowie is well suited to the Syd stuff. And I think Gilmour looks great. I get tired of hearing how old they all look. Gilmour's over 60, FCS. (and no, I'm not an old hippy)
Such as? (Interested not being argumentative lol). He does now just claim to be a singer songwriter, but he does come up with the very basic arrangements to start with - it helps he surrounds himself with some of the best musicians on the planet, but it's the words that count to me. Great songsmith, may be a bit of a cunt, but who isn't?
China girl, was done by another bloke that allowed bowie to take the credit, there was a documentary on the tv about it, not saying he isn't good, lol
China Girl was co written by both David Bowie & Iggy Pop for Iggys 'The Idiot' album. It's known that he did it again on 'Lets Dance' as Iggy was flat broke at the time; the royalties helping to improve his then situation. Both DB & Jim (James Osterberg - Iggy's real name) have been the best of friends since the early 70's. Check Wiki :))
hohooooo! Didn't realize that! Tell ya, there ain't nobody like my palsThe Grateful Dead, these people wouldn't go for that for the world!!! Whatcha see is what you get there!
No problem guys. If you guys are really interested with Floyd videos and stuff just join the forum and www.neptunepinkfloyd.co.uk, that's where I get the stuff from. And plus it's the best Floyd forum on the net.
Magic! Don't know where people come up with this stuff. Thank you for putting it out in space though. Its amazing to hear Richard Wright hitting all of those notes. And Gilmour nailing that guitar tone. And Bowie(pinups) as Barret! Making my morning! Thankyou!
I bow down to you! I would pay THOUSANDS of dollars to see that. My two favorite artist of all time. Pink Floyd and David Bowie. Now if only the two of them would do something with Enya. That might just creat a preformance to great for the human maind to comprehend.
RIP Rick and Syd, damn this is a great tribute

of course you know David Gilmore wasn't playing with Floyd at that time. Only Rick Wright is an original Floyd member there.
Great act to watch though. David Bowie looks and sounds great as always.

None as far as I know, but he did use Botox in the 90's/00's, and wears a hairpiece. Greatest singer songwriter though (To my mind anyway).
