    I'd pay hard earned $$ to see that tour.

    Well, I have to confess my ignorance. I've had Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, The Wall, wore out an Animals LP, and had to buy another one. I saw them after the Division Bell album (not their best). Although I've always heard Barret's name, I've never been aware of his influence until today. As a product of that era, it is highly possible that I just "forgot." Anyway, I intend to check out that early stuff now.

    Oh yeah, the concert I saw was sans Waters. And yeah, I'd pay high $ to see a show that includes those final four.

    I saw the Animals and Dark Side of The Moon Concerts. I love their music!

    BBC's Newshour did a spot on Syd this morning.

    I can't find the podcast anywhere, but it might be posted tomorrow.

    This really sucks.

    I used to listen to these guys quite a bit. I was "under the influence" most of the time I was listening to them, but I'm sure I really enjoyed thier music.

    This is sad news. I love PF. I would love to see them tour one last time.
