High Hopes

Recommended Posts

My Floyd teeth were cut on The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

Interstellar Overdrive is what caught my fancy. And just for fun, I liked Bike:

I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like.
It's got a basket, a bell that rings
And things to make it look good.
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.

Meddle is, and always has been, my favorite album.
My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Walking through Cambridge yesterday... there are a series of events and exhibitions celebrating the life of Syd Barret and Pink Floyd clicky

There was an excellent expo of the Storm's art for Pink Floyd, in the Grande Arcade shopping centre - clicky

I own both of those DVDs and watch them all the time. I am also looking forward to getting the new one - "Live from Gdansk" with the Polish Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra . . . I saw most of it last week on VH1 Classic. It's excellent - better than his last two DVDs IMO.

In the new one David Gilmour plays some more familiar instruments than his more recent solo DVDs . . . the famous "black strat" and the red one with the white pick guard as well. On the black strat you will notice a wide leather guitar strap that has lighter colored leather X's weaved into it. His wife bought that at a Sotheby's auction and gave it to him for his 60th birthday . . . it used to belong to Jimi Hendrix. B|

Agreed. I love how they can go from tearing it up on One of These Days to having fun with San Tropez.

I was intro'd to Floyd by my sister who is 5 years older than me. All it took was a fatty and some headphones ;) Those were the days...
