Is there anyplace on the internets that has a list of songs that Gilmour played bass on, I know some of Animals at least, but I was listening to Fearless a couple of days ago and it doesn't sound like Waters at-all.

I've always wondered about "Part 2" and the guitar parts therein. This explains a great deal.

I'd never really paid attention to the tribute bands, but I have to admire Interstellar Factory from Italy. It's cool that they're only playing 1968-1972 Floyd, but it's GREAT that they covered "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast," complete with tea break.

Okay, that sets them apart. Though they're still just a tribute band.

The Pink Floyd Tribute Band featuring Roger Waters is playing in Denver next week! I certainly can't afford the ticket price but I did beg my boss to try to get me free ones. Pray for me.

Forgot to mention that I finished the book. Finally, a book about the Floyd that adds in the trash-talk, sex, drugs, and bad behavior that every good rock and roll story needs. Highly recommended, though be forewarned that no one comes out unscathed.

Classic Albums: DSOTM is now on Netflix streaming and is quite good. (I'm certain it was mentioned upthread as well)

The chord change RIchard Wright settles upon in "Great Gig in the Sky" and how he came up with it is worth the other 46 minutes of slow-motion British people walking across bridges.

I love how Saucerful of Secrets pointed out that Gilmour and Waters kept trying to one-up the other, Waters touring with ERIC GOD CLAPTON and Gilmour finding some other bassist to work with by the name of JAMES PAUL MCCARTNEY.

JIM LADD! I used to listen to him on KLSX when I was 12. My brother and I totally made fun of him because after a song he liked, he'd go "Loooooord have mercy!"

curious about the live/rarity aspect of this though!

xxxp yeah, I remember Jim Ladd too. there seemed to be a lot more variety with radio programming back then (up into the early 90s) - I remember him throwing on some more relatively obscure psych sometimes

Never bothered to hear post Morrison Doors till YouTube came around but there's a cool clip of a song called tightrope walker or something that's pretty good.
