Christ, and I was called stupid. I have a great many friends in varying levels of the music industry that could tear apart your wildly stupid analogy in 2.2 seconds. I know of at least four or five people who are probably alot more knowledgable than you and I combined that even own the Barrett solo box.

He brought the Pink Floyd sound in.. that psychadelic, what-is-going-on-with-the-music kind of thing in. No techno back in those days, no acid house, no stoner rock, metal~~
He was their first band leader, and his tripped out lyrics and self became Pink Floyd (wish you were here was dedicated to Syd). Anyways not all of his songs are great, but Interstellar Overdrive and Astronomy Domine are classics (Piper at the Gates of Dawn).
Piper at the Gates was the album I was referring to. I understand Wish You Were Here was dedicated to Syd.. I'm sure a lot of the Gilmour era music was. But Gilmour/Waters get credit for that music, not Barrett.
Different tastes I suppose.. I was just really unimpressed with Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

Wait a minute. Did you just call The Wall garbage????????????????????????????
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.
I really enjoyed the Barrett Pink Floyd albums, but I think that the later albums were much better. I think 99% of PF fans would agree with me. With that said, I could certainly respect your differing opinion if you said you preferred the Barrett albums. And I don't think anyone should call you an idiot because of that particular opinion. But your comment on The Wall definitely goes beyond the realm of sanity and earns you the title of IDIOT!!!
By the way, I'm also going to disagree with those who say DSOTM is better than The Wall. DSOTM is a collection of mostly great songs and a couple mediocre ones. The Wall is a complete story and a masterpiece. The two really can't be compared.
Late response, but....
A LOT....over $200 for 2 seats in the lower bowl. Stage will be in centerfield-ish, our seats are between home and 1st base. But I've never seen them, and even if they are old, I still should. Just because. As someone else noted in this thread, I also think I was born too late.
I was referring to Pink Floyd keeping up Syd's sound, having his influence. In music it's really easy to follow somebody, hard to create yourself. They definitely sounded different and nicer with Gilmour but Syd had his craziness that you can hear in PF's music that makes it so unique (IMHO).
And Interstellar Overdrive still fkkin rocks. You gotta think back in those days nobody would dare put on a 10 minute noise junk like that, only Syd Barrett.
Even if the concert featured the current Floyd w/o Waters, they'd still rock. Water's voice has gotten so rough over the last 20 years. Gilmour still plays and sounds like he has for the last 30 some years. Delicate Sound of Thunder is one of my all time favorites and by far my favorite live album and that's Floyd without Waters.
The last time I heard Roger Waters sound good was The Wall, and that was predominantly Roger Waters. But The Wall certainly isn't some of Pink Floyd's best work.

YES!!!!
Im probably *still* high from the PF concerts Ive seen and that was "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" tour.

Did they ever say what you'd have to do to get tickets to any of these shows? Like someone said earlier, a Pink Floyd reunion would be cause for unprecidented scalping I'm sure.
I'd bet even a renuion tour would be $500+ per ticket. Thanks Ticketmaster and your backdoor deals with scalping agencies!

Actually I saw two shows during his "In the Flesh" tour, and I thought it all sounded great, two of the best concerts I've ever been to. I consider The Wall nothing less than pure brilliance, with Dark Side being the only album that I thoguht was better (although they were quite different, and not very comparable).
