I always hated that pink floyride they gave me as a kid. In fact, I kinda hate pink floyd, too.
No comment on fish. That was a scene for the younger folks to get laid and party so I approve. Ain't never listened to them.

Phish is a great band. I really wish they've would've done Joe's Garage as one of their Halloween musical costumes.

Gary?

I strongly believe that "Gilmour or Waters" is vastlly superior to "Waters or Gilmore".

Pink Floyd as an entity was something to behold....after the fact, Waters had the edge...but Gilmour had more of the band members..... I saw the Gilmour led "Floyd" twice, and while it was entertaining, Waters' "band" was a better representation of the whole "project"! I saw Roger's first recent tour as a solo act (in 1999 as opposed to his 85 and 87 tours) and it totally blew away the two "Floyd" tours I saw in 87 and 94! The Floyd tours were all lights, and production and 50,000 people on stage...but that 1999 Waters tour was all about the music! Then when I saw him a few years back doing the whole Wall show, it was amazing!

I wish they all would have gotten along, but what do you do?

Nick Mason Forms Supergroup to Play Early Pink Floyd Music



Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has formed a new band to play Floyd’s early music.

Named Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets, after Pink Floyd’s second album, the four-piece group will play their first four shows in London in May. The lineup includes Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp, Lee Harris of the Blockheads, bassist Guy Pratt, who took over from Roger Waters in Floyd, and composer Dom Beken, a collaborator with late Floyd keyboardist Rick Wright. Pratt and Beken worked together in the electronic band Transit Kings.

“This is a unique opportunity to experience Pink Floyd’s celebrated and significant early body of work played live including songs from albums The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and A Saucerful of Secrets,” the new group said in a statement. “Very few bands are as culturally important as Pink Floyd. They are one of the best selling music artists of all time and Nick Mason is a founder and the only constant member of the band performing on all of their albums as well as all of their live shows. This will be Nick Mason’s first live musical outing since Pink Floyd played at the 2005 Live 8 concert in London.”

Speaking to UCR in 2016, ahead of the release of the box set Pink Floyd: The Early Years 1965-1972, Mason said, “There's a whole swath of early tracks that are missed by an audience that we think started at Dark Side of the Moon. That's the problem, because we actually changed from being a slightly underground band to – I won't say overnight – but that one album pushed us suddenly into a whole new world. The interesting thing is that quite a lot of particularly younger people who discovered Dark Side don't look backwards, they look 'What did they do next?' So I suppose I'd say the album that I'm particularly fond of is A Saucerful of Secrets, because I think you get a transition from Syd [Barrett] and you almost get a wonderful goodbye from Syd with ‘Jugband Blues.'”

Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets will play Dingwall’s in London on May 20, followed by the Half Moon in Putney, on May 21, 23 and 24. The band’s official website provides links for ticket sales.

Roger Waters went through a very shocking/emabarassing moment when a big part of the 40k+ members of the audience in São Paulo, the day before yesterday, booed him when he displayed anti-facist messages, against the far-right presidential candidate, adding him to a list of Neo-facists on the rise around the world and displayed the #EleNão ("#NotHim") tag in his humongous HD screen. São Paulo, the financial capital of Brazil was the single place with the most votes for this sod, in the election's first run... Many of these "fans" thought the Wall was about building a house, Animals was about farming and DSOTM was about the Apollo missions, apparently.


During the intermission


At the end of Brain Damage...

Yesterday, Mr. Waters imposed self-censure...


Yesterday night's gig

I think it is time for Mr. Waters consider to add "Waiting for the Worms" to his setlist for the rest of the Brazilian tour... There is where we rest now...

P.S. One of the offenses shouted at him during the booing was "Gilmour, Gilmour..."

Roger Waters dodges arrest with a last-minute slap at Brazil's Bolsonaro

Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters toed the line during his show in Brazil, when he urged people to stop right-wing candidate Jair Bolsonaro seconds before he could be arrested for violating election law.

Waters, an indisputable music icon, has been in Brazil with his Us+Them tour since October 9. The singer, songwriter and bassist had performed six shows in the country before arriving in the city of Curitiba on Saturday.

At every one of his concerts, the legendary musician, known for his progressive views, decried neo-fascists, listing among them US President Donald Trump, Hungarian President Viktor Orban, and former UKIP leader Nigel Farage.

Boos and cheers aside, matters became more serious for Waters as the Sunday vote inched closer. Before the show, the Electoral Court of Parana warned the musician and his Brazilian producer T4F that if he does not abide by the Brazilian law, which prohibits all campaigning after 10pm, he might be arrested and face imprisonment.

And it all went smoothly until two minutes before the deadline. Just as Waters' producers were, presumably, starting to breathe a collective sigh of relief, the stage went dark and silent. Then a message in Portuguese flashed on the big screen.



"Not him" – "Ele Nao" in Portuguese – is the uniting slogan of everyone campaigning and protesting against Bolsonaro.

As the clock struck 10, the words "It's ten o'clock. Obey the law," appeared on the display.

In the run-up to Waters' performance, Bolsonaro tweeted that "any person in the national territory, even if he is not a Brazilian citizen, has inalienable rights as a human being, as well as having a duty to obey the laws of Brazil."

Bolsonaro, who is sometimes described as Brazil's Trump, is widely expected to seal the vote in Sunday's run-off. The right-wing politician cruised through the first round, wining 46 percent of the vote on October 7, with his main opponent, Fernando Haddad from the leftist Worker's Party, receiving only 29 percent.

The MDA poll released on Saturday predicted a comfortable win for Bolsonaro, who currently holds a double-digit advantage over Haddad. Tens of thousands have protested against Bolsonaro's all-but-secured rise to power both on the streets and online.

MGG note: The right version would include Putin's name on the list, even though with a question mark, and that he was threatened by 'justice' with a fine if manifestation was to be made after 10 pm, or even prison if after midnight, for it is the date of election (today).
