about

Pink Floyd ranks right next to Black Sabbath as the best rock band of all time in my opinion. Syd Barrett re-invented rock music and the art of recording, influenced The Beatles and started Pink Floyd, then his incredible bright creative consciousness burnt out leaving Roger Waters the daunting task of reconstituting this incredible musical vision out of memories, fragments and guesses. Luckily Roger and the other members of Pink Floyd were able to continue onwards on this unique path and leave us a very accessible record of what would otherwise have been very unaccessible material. In other words, if Pink Floyd had not started off with the bang and promise that Syd crafted, there is no way we would have ever heard things like Ummagumma or Atom Heart Mother if some "no name" band had created and attempted to release them.

As I say, I am very grateful that we have such a musical trail in between Piper at the Gates of Dawn and Dark Side of the Moon, and all of those interim albums were a huge influence on my young and malleable mind in the mid-80's when I delved into them as cassette dubs from my older friends' record collections. We saw them live in 1987 at the JFK Stadium in Philadelphia (where the U.S. aspect of Live Aid had been held 2 years earlier) and although it was an enjoyable event, as a bright young middle-schooler it did strike me that the use of drugs at a Pink Floyd concert was the very essence of redundancy---like putting chocolate sauce on top of a hot fudge sundae. Not because I tried it, but simply because I observed many of the morons around me who were out of their skulls and therefore unable to truly experience the incredible sights and sounds that the Floyd were sending us.

I am pretty sure that they did not play Corporal Clegg at that concert. Also it was their first tour without Roger Waters, which was of course a real drag for all of us that recognize him as the creative core of the entire project.
