Great Gig in the Sky
By Pink Floyd. Richard Wright died of cancer on Monday
I blew hot and cold over Pink Floyd. When they were hot they were hot, when they were not they were self indulgent tossers. That said they did a lot of great stuff so Rick will be missed.
The music will live on, a testament to a truly great band. My favorites are Dark side of the Moon and of course The Wall. RIP Richard :(
ReplyDeletePink Floyd's Wish You Were Here is my all time fave album.
ReplyDeleteI was in Venice when they performed on a raft offshore. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I think those nameless female wordless singers deserve more credit than they ever got!
