What Gilmore was able to do after Waters left is pretty remarkable. There are a lot of people (Waters included) that didn't think Floyd would be around much longer or be relevant. I think Gilmore is one of the best lead guitarists ever. Floyd has such a long and rich history as a band, it's amazing stuff. When we were kids we would take my neighbors video camera and record ourselves lip syncing our favorite songs. I remember my pal jettig singing along to this piece of perfection comfortably numb which is another of my favorites. It has what I think may be the best guitar solo ever. Because we were kids and probably had little understanding of the lyrics Jim sang it while wearing a scarf and mittens. Why? Because to us the numb part meant "cold". -Ha. But I agree that Learning to Fly is a fantastic song. Thanks for taking me down Pink Floyd memory lane.
Floyd rocking about as hard as they ever did. [edit] -Almost sounds like old Sabbath.
Ok, so you are now officially the first person who has uttered the names [Pink] Floyd and [Black] Sabbath in the same breath.
[edit] dude... I've had a couple glasses of wine. I'm a little slow. Enjoy that crazy diamond!
