I saw this in Seattle, and I'm telling you that I would have MUCH rather seen this than a full blown reunion.   Honestly.   

They played over an hour and half, and they played NOTHING post-Meddle.   They even played Vegetable Man!!!

It was the greatest Pink Floyd show I will never see.   Even if I had a time machine, I would have rather scene PF before they got huge than after.    Maaaaaybe it would be cool to go back and see some of the DSOTM shows that happened before the album actually came out, but honestly, this was the next best thing.

Wasn't Obscured By Clouds released after Meddle? Looks like a few tracks from that are in the setlist.

The biggest strike against this show is the venue in DC. I have seen four shows at DAR Constitution Hall (Fiona Apple, Robert Plant, Alice in Chains and Dear Jerry [a Jerry Garcia tribute show]) and the acoustics at that venue absolutely SUCK.

But I made a playlist on my iPod using the setlist and listening to it, the show has definitely moved up my priority chain.

Until I really started getting into Pink Floyd, I always assumed OBC was the album before Meddle not inbetween it and Dark Side. I think the origin of that was the Live at Pompeii release, which ignores OBC completely...

Wasn't Obscured By Clouds always completely ignored? By.. like everyone but Nick? (I read it's his favourite PF album, or at least one of his favourites)

I've never heard this, but I've always had a soft spot for that album.

Yeah, it's a better album than it gets credited for.  I think it is/was overlooked because it got short shrift on release, and in the years up to the "big remaster" in... 2006 was it?  I know for me, who got into Floyd in high school, it was non-existent.   I only got into it later when the CDs came out.   I like it because it is a nice bridge between Meddle, which is good, but which still has echoes (see what I did there?) of the heavily improvised, heavily experimental Floyd of '68 - '71, and the increasingly structured, song-oriented work that started largely with Dark Side and continued through The Division Bell (well, The Endless River, I guess).

During the On An Island tour, Gilmour played "What's Uh the Deal."

Childhood's End also got played by Pink Floyd occasionally back in the day.

A guest showed up to play a song with Nick and the band.

Serious question: did Waters actually sing live or did he lip synch?
