The Grateful Dead wine in that series is actually really good. Pink Floyd, however, has the distinction of being the only Wines That Rock band without a dead-from-alcoholism member in its past.

OMG
London's Daily Express is reporting that Pink Floyd will reunite to play the closing ceremonies of the London Olympics next summer.
An "insider" told the paper that "It's long been made clear it would take something very special to get Pink Floyd back together again and it doesn't get any bigger than the Olympics.
'Like Sir Paul, they have been a major part of the nation's culture over the past 40 years and it will be very fitting that they're involved when London is on show to the world. It's hoped everything can be confirmed in the coming weeks."
Paul McCartney is rumored to be playing the event's opening ceremony.
Roger Waters left the group in 1985 after twenty years together and, even though the band carried on, fans still consider the classic lineup the "real" Floyd. They returned to the stage in 2005 for Live 8 but have not played together as a unit since. The surviving members are Waters, David Gilmore and Nick Mason.

OMG!!!!
Rocker David Gilmour has squashed reports suggesting the living members of Pink Floyd will reunite for a London Olympics spectacular.
The guitar great has been quick to respond to a London Evening Standard story, which linked the band to the summer (2012) sports extravaganza, insisting there's nothing to the report.
A representative for the rocker says, "David Gilmour can confirm that there is no truth in recent media speculation about Pink Floyd reuniting to perform for the 2012 London Olympics."
If true, the show would have marked the band's first official performance together since Live 8 in 2005.
Gilmour and former bandmates Nick Mason and Roger Waters teamed up for a brief reunion at Waters' "The Wall" concert in London last year (May 11) - but all parties declared the get together was a one-off.
Roger Taylor and Brian May have also been linked to an Olympics-launching spectacular, as has Sir Paul McCartney. At present, no big names have been confirmed for concerts to launch the Games but dance music duo Underworld have been appointed the event's musical directors.

They've tried with the Syd one but discussion stalled as the owner of the recording wants a bunch of money for it.

Astoria is a grand houseboat, adapted as a recording studio by its owner, Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour. It is moored on the River Thames near Hampton Court. Gilmour purchased the boat in 1986, because he "spent half of [his] life in recording studios with no windows, no light, but on the boat there are many windows, with beautiful scenery on the outside".

I keep checking out those recent remasters (take 3) of the Pink Floyd and would really love to have those live tracks, but it looks like they split the show up onto like 3 cds.
It always seems weird to me that there really isn't a single classic period Pink Floyd live album other than Ummagumma, which is really before the really big albums. They had to be recording some of it.

"Is there anybody out there" is 1980 pink floyd.
The "Experience" edition of "Dark Side" has a 1974 gig.
So has "Wish you were here", was that what you meant about the 3CDs?

I read it that an Immersion version of Animals was imminent. Always hopeful. Sadly there apparently are no soundboards from the Animals tour.
― doug watson, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 13:49 (twelve years ago) link
bummer! there are lots of decent boots,at least.
Should be soundboards of them playing embryonic versions of some of those cuts on earlier tours. That'd work for me.
