You should check out Which One's Pink?. IDK if they venture up north as far as you but down in LA they are THE Pink Floyd tribute band to go see.

I heard about Which One's Pink, but never got a chance to see them. So they are based in LA? Is there a regular club they play in?

JayOctavarium · « **Reply #946 on:** April 07, 2015, 09:47:27 AM »

They play all up and down from Ventura County out to San Bern. down to San Diego. They play the Canyon Club in Agoura, and The Saban Theater in Beverly Hills often. I also see posts about them playing the OC fair a lot... but the only venues I really recognize are The Canyon and Saban. They are playing The Wall front to back at The Canyon on the 25th of this month.

Roger Waters is to reissue his 1992 album Amused To Death this summer – and he believes the work is more relevant than ever.

That's one fine album. It's interesting how Waters just gets it - all the issues with the society he addressed 20 years ago with Amused to death or 35 years ago with The Wall are still a discussion topic today. That's what real art is all about, staying relevant years and years later. It's just one of the few reasons why Roger's work will live on.

^ Agreed. I'm excited about the remastered AtD.
Been listening to Pros & Cons a bit lately and noticed there's some of vocal melodies revisited from The Wall & The Final Cut. Off the top of my head Mother and The Show Must Go On are a couple of them.

Waters' solo stuff has been on my "to do" list since I got into PF nearly ten years ago. Never got around to it, but this reissue will definitely be on my radar.

New David Gilmour's solo album, titled Rattle that Lock, is coming out in September.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #952 on:** June 07, 2015, 03:44:14 PM »

Can't wait to hear it! I was a big fan of "On An Island"

JayOctavarium · « **Reply #953 on:** June 07, 2015, 03:46:38 PM »

Same!

Mister Gold · « **Reply #954 on:** June 09, 2015, 10:54:10 AM »

Been in a Floydian mood lately, so I've been listening to some of their albums again. Animals is still top dog for me.

However I was pretty impressed by my revisiting Meddle! It took awhile, but Echoes has finally clicked for me. Such a great song...

Great cover, really like it.

Oooh, I'm liking that cover. Excited for this one!

And here's a short interview with David Gilmour about the album (also includes some more music): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6glp_dGao90

Evermind · « **Reply #960 on:** July 16, 2015, 12:31:52 PM »

Well, the title track is going to be released tomorrow as a single too.

I like what I'm hearing so far, seems like a fun catchy rock song. But I'm really biased when it comes to Gilmour.

Sounds pretty cool and more up my alley than a lot of Pink Floyd tbh.

Nihil-Morari · « **Reply #965 on:** July 17, 2015, 06:54:52 AM »

Cannot wait for this album. This truly is a single, nice poppy tune, wonderful guitar work. Just great

Bolsters · « **Reply #966 on:** July 17, 2015, 06:59:36 AM »

That's...not bad, actually.

T-ski · « **Reply #967 on:** July 17, 2015, 09:38:23 AM »

I get a little Steely Dan vibe from it. Nice.

Cool Chris · « **Reply #968 on:** July 17, 2015, 12:51:43 PM »

Hmm... not bad David. I listened to On An Island again recently, after not caring for it much on first listen. My thoughts haven't changed, still didn't care for it. I think I like this track more than most of On An Island, so I am anxious to hear more.

Evermind · « **Reply #969 on:** July 17, 2015, 12:54:10 PM »

I think I like almost everyone on On An Island more than this track (except maybe The Blue and This Heaven), but I've got to say, after a few listens, this track is damn good. I like the different vibe and I just can't wait for the whole album.

The album is also up for preorder at amazon.com! I've got the CD+DVD deluxe edition ordered.

JayOctavarium · « **Reply #970 on:** July 17, 2015, 02:35:54 PM »

Sacul · « **Reply #971 on:** July 17, 2015, 06:25:36 PM »

I liked this song - Gilmour's voice has aged so well, too...

Progmetty · « **Reply #972 on:** July 23, 2015, 12:23:34 PM »

I'm going to see Brit Floyd in July, Australian Pink Floyd in August and Bricks in The Wall (Texas PF coverband) in September. Then I'm going to see the Roger Waters movie at the theater in September as well. Getting Gilmour's new solo album and Waters Amused to Death remaster, this is going to be the most Floyd-ian year ever for me heh

KevShmev · « **Reply #973 on:** July 23, 2015, 06:10:06 PM »

New song sounds good. I have no doubt that I will love this.

Progmetty · « **Reply #974 on:** August 04, 2015, 11:53:44 AM »

Does anybody know if "gig" in The Great Gin in The Sky means "job" or "concert"?

Kotowboy · « **Reply #975 on:** August 06, 2015, 04:17:03 PM »

At work we had a Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd covers band.

very avant garde.

HERE is a short video

Orbert · « **Reply #976 on:** August 06, 2015, 05:46:20 PM »

That's different. Of course the Syd Barrett "era" was only the first album and some of the second, but what the heck.

I was at my dad's place in Michigan over the weekend, and the band at the bar up the street was a Pink Floyd cover band. They were great. They were set up outside on the deck, so we could hear them fine because it was otherwise a pretty quiet neighborhood. Just sitting out on the deck at my dad's, we heard "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (long-ish version with all verses and most of the instrumentals), "Money", "Time", "Astronomy Domine", a medley from "The Wall" and a bunch of other stuff.

I suspect this is the great unhad debate in PF fandom – in nearly 40 years, you're the first person who cared enough to ask!

Orbert · « **Reply #978 on:** August 06, 2015, 06:19:10 PM »

From the point of view of a musician, a gig, job, and concert are all pretty much the same thing. You play and you get paid. A gig's a gig.

Evermind · « **Reply #979 on:** August 14, 2015, 09:36:11 AM »

30 seconds teaser of another song from Rattle That Lock is up on YouTube.
