Is anybody going to any of the gigs at the O2?

Do we think there might be a special guest guitarist?

Has it been confirmed it's one of the London shows Gilmour will appear at?

They've rescheduled a couple of shows in Milan (brought them forward 3 days), so that they can record the shows in Athens.

Got my ticket for the MEN on the 20th

Am I the only person that likes Pink Floyd that doesn't enjoy The Wall as a whole?

The Wall was what got me hooked. Its an odd album compared to most other music, have you seen the film? it kinda makes more sense if you watch the film (or smoke a field full of skunk...)

It has some amazing songs, but linked together with tedious spoken bits, or songs which are just lyrics, with no decent music behind them (unlike Hey you for example). I find most of it too overblown to listen to all the way through.

I'm very much in the camp that lyrics don't make a song, it's the instruments behind the music that make it interesting. Hence, Wish you were here is my favourite Pink Floyd album.

I was there in Potsdam Plaza as the real wall came down. The helicopter with searchlight and giant inflatables was kinda memorable given the events of the time biggrin

Pah! Pensioners... 1983 here.

And I'm hugely jealous of the lot of you. Big Pink Floyd fan and saw Roger Waters put on a fantastic show at Glasto a few years back. I'd be amazed if Dave Gilmour turns up, though.
