Nice. I found a place that does laser floyd every Friday and Saturday night. They do The Wall, that should rock.

yea i think it's just a full straight-through run of the wall?

edit: how does david play those really high notes at the end of high hopes? it's the equivalent of frets 30 adn higher O_o

Pretty much, ya. They skip Run Like Hell and The Trial, but they play those as encores apparently. So they're just out of place.

And I would imagine he's using harmonics for those notes, or he could just be bending the notes to reach that high. I dont know.

harmonics maybe...they're damn clean then. they dont -sound- like pinches and bending even a 24th fret doesnt get that high :]

anyway, im pumped for this laser show. i think ill give the wall a straight run-through listen again

Dave Gilmour doesn't let frets hold him back.

Yeah and who needs strings.

Or a guitar. Gilmour on the air guitar would still sound sweet to the ears.

slide guitar dubbed in probably

It's a slide guitar solo.

For songs like Marooned I guess he used an octave pedal though to get those reallly high pitches.

Yeah, Marooned is definitely an octave pedal.

High Hopes is slide guitar. You don't really need frets up that high :p

Hahaha very true.

lots of nice band threads here. pink floysd is on of my favorites. i like the roger water years over the Syd ones. but Syd was cool.

I personally like the Waters-era albums more, but I have favorites from all of the Pink Floyd styles.

i'm really only a waters era fan. i consider that DSOTM on up. although gilmour always maintained a strong influence. i prefer the last two albums, too, because those were heavily waters. i think the wall and the final cut are the best albums they ever made. and syd? what about him? too far gone for me to care.

Is it possible for you to catch Water's live this tour? Because seeing your taste's youd love that show.

These are both my favourite Floyd albums :)

Although, the sheer diversity of their music ensures everyone has different favourites, all with a valid case.

My favorites are Darkside and The Wall.

Jesus that's just about as cliche as you can get :upset:

Don't forget Animals.

I'm going to flip a coin between Animals and Meddle. Whichever album wins the coin toss will be my new second favorite Floyd album. But Obscured By Clouds is really good too.....can someone invent a three-sided quarter?

They did, but no one had a two-headed president/queen to put on it =/

thats true. they have some good work behind them through all periods.

My only real experiance with the old stuff before Meddle and after Syd is Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun and Careful with that Axe Eugene, but even though they are different you can still hear similarities in that to the later stuff. For a start its all very spacey.

Hrm, I can't rank Pink Floyd's albums, I'm sorry guys.

I can rank a top 5 or 6, but after that I haven't really paid enough attention/can't be bothered to rank them.

It's too hard for me to rank the top 5 even, though I can probably put down my least favourite 3.

lets hear it then!

So I picked up The Final Cut yesterday on vinyl, and I enjoyed it much more than I expected to after reading some reviews. I actually really like the general feel the album has, and the lyrics and vocals are awesome throughout. But indeed, some of the music could have been better. The melody of One Of The Few reminded me a lot (and maybe even a bit too much) of the guitar melody in The Flames Beyond The Cold Mountain by Mono (check [url]www.mono-44.com)[/url].

Ranking albums again?! I still remember the last time we did this.

Didn't Animals usually win?

No, I meant personal rankings. And Animals never topped my list, that's for sure.
