Floyd... Oh yeah baybeeeee. If you like Floyd, check out David Gilmore. I will be posting some Gilmore, But I was feeling a bit Genesis today.

Gilmore is amazing, no doubt, but I still miss the Floyd. There has never been anything like them in music.

I saw Pink Floyd minus Roger Waters Halloween night 1987. It was the best concert I have ever seen. It was the night, it was the concert. I saw the same show 6 months later in Orlando and wasn't even close to the show Tampa was. If the next best show I have seen were a 10, that Tampa Stadium Floyd show was a 40. I prefer Gilmore Floyd to Waters Floyd. So, if I can't have Floyd, Gilmore doing Floyd is just as good... Maybe better

I would say not better or worse, but different. I saw the complete Pink Floyd several times (and yes, they were most awesome) and Gilmore's Floyd once. There has never been any argument from me that he is an amazing musician. I have seen him do things with a guitar that were amazing. However, like most of us, he has mellowed with age. I love his music but it is still not the Pink Floyd. Half the group left with the breakup as Roger Waters was the main driving force behind the original music.

Sid Barrett was an entity all to himself. No doubt, his influence on Roger Waters was huge. Still, I have listened to some of his solo stuff (after he got back on his feet) and it just does nothing for me. I always thought that the team of Waters and Gilmore was a perfect complimentary combination. I could go on for hours, as Floyd is MY group, but I will leave it here because I need to get to work...
