Saw the Aussie Pink FLoyd a couple of days ago. Looks like only one of the original guys is left. They were OK but it was a pretty flat, they make no effort to move or acknowledge the crowd at all until the last number of the main set and suddenly they want everyone on their feet. Bit late for that...
But they played a couple from Obscured By Clouds and the Comfortably Numb encore was predictably great though so evening saved

That Obscured By Clouds/When You're in double whammy was a great opener - talking about the few times PF played 'em; good to see some respect shown for this stuff at last. Thing that puts me off PF tribute bands is Learning To Fly...goddamn catalogue as almighty as Pink Floyd and bands play Learning To Fly..good Lord! I once attempted to see Ummagumma play the psychedelic years but I wasn't allowed in : ( Still got the poster that I had in my shop window promoting the gig. I was refused entry cos there was a bar where the band was playing and I'd taken my kids to see the lightshow.
That's another thing...Nick was just coasting for years and years...Gilmour makes a completely Shirte LP (About Face) and realises he needs THAT brand name. Gets Nick to take a moment out of bad food and fast cars for some photo sessions and gets a drummer in so Nick can go back to bad food and fast cars and it's Pink Floyd..ahem..I don't think so. So then to thirty odd years later and Nick's playing amazing drums again - with both Guy Pratt and someguyfromSpandau Ballett - and it's astonishing..who'd have guessed it. My money would not have been on Nick Mason making a great Pink Floyd band with Guy goddamn Level 42 Pratt and Spandau Ballet...Just goes to show huh. Saucerful of Secrets in my opinion is better than Pink Floyd post 1984.
Bit of bad news about the upcoming Roger Waters tour. Lucius (who were wonderful last tour) have pulled out & are doing their own tour. They have dates published for other cities at the same time as Roger's dates. Kind of makes me wonder if the tour is going to happen at all. If it does as scheduled, Roger is going to turn 79 during it.

Caught him on the Us + Them tour in '17. I had tickets for the This Is Not a Drill tour in 2020, but bailed on those after the first rescheduling. He's as much capitalist as anyone though, so I would expect the tour does happen at some point in the next year or so.

Roger has been a serial monogamist, lots of alimony haha
Pink Floyd is releasing music to support Ukraine if anyone is interested. And ignore the bs comments in the responses. Nothing irritates me more when someone is trying to do a good deed and people respond with "well what about these people, what about these people" Bands should be allowed to support who they want. Either buy it or don't.
