Thanks Mitch that was very cool. :checkmark:

[J.O.]

Thanks Mitch!

There are several versions of it up on YouTube, and most of them are going viral. Did anyone happen to notice the mistake in the lyrics? No one that I've spoken with has noticed it until I pointed it out. I guess I've listened to it too many times 'cause I picked it up right away. It doesn't take anything away from it and I'd still love to have been there.

Did anyone happen to notice the mistake in the lyrics?

I'm going to listen again now, but I thought (as I sang along) I'd messed up the lyric in the second chorus... Was it Gilmour who did so? (I did notice his fingers weren't quite as nimble as he needed them to be... Still, Fabulous to hear him play that again!

[J.O.]

It wasn't you, Mitch. He reverted back to the first chorus half way through the second. As much of a perfectionist as David Gilmour is, he will probably be quite embarrassed by it. You could tell that he hasn't been playing much lately. Give him a couple of months for rehearsals and he'd be right back in form again.

[Kip Powick]

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.

You are only coming through in waves.

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.

When I was a child

I caught a fleeting glimpse

Out of the corner of my eye

I turned to look but it was gone

I cannot put my finger on it now

The child is grown,

The dream is gone.

I have become comfortably numb.

He did not sing the lyric's in RED..He went back and used the first chorus lyrics

If you want to be real picky you will note that it 'sounds like' he said.....you are only 'going' through in waves during the first chorus...instead of 'coming'

Nice to see the performance but I love the CDs........every one of Pink Floyds

[Mitch Cronin]

Right on! ... Hah, fancy that! ....interesting to hear the audience seems to get a bit quieter at that point too, probably as they sang along with the wrong(right) lyrics... half thinking they'd messed it up and the other half maybe recognizing it was Gilmour's mistake...

I'm sure you're right, if he'd had more rehearsal time he'd have nailed it all.... But I know when I'm with my buddies and their playing starts sounding like that, it must be getting on to the latter half of the night and the throat-lube has begun to have an effect.

Pink Floyd in race against time to reissue albums

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/pink-floyd-race-against-time-reissue-albums-033104771.html

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The mammoth CD reissue program undertaken by Pink Floyd is an acknowledgment that the era of physical CDs and lavish artwork is coming to an end, as fans increasingly opt to download music digitally, drummer Nick Mason said on Wednesday.

Two years after the Beatles unveiled a similar program, the British progressive rock band is reissuing digitally remastered versions of all 14 of its studio albums, both individually and as a boxed set on September 26.

But Pink Floyd is doing something the Beatles never did, to the disappointment of Fab Four fans. Three albums will also be reissued with plenty of rarities in multi-disc versions. Revised and expanded artwork was a heavy priority for a band with a history of visual innovation.

"There is a slight sense that we are coming to the end of the period where people will buy the physical record with all the packaging and the information and so on," Mason, 67, told Reuters at the Hollywood outpost of the band's EMI Records label.

"I think it's really important to try and have a last go at that, because if we do end up just downloading everything from now on it would be a shame if there wasn't on record all that good artwork and the things that went with it."

The band's 1973 smash "The Dark Side of the Moon," one of the biggest selling albums of all time, will additionally come out on six- and two-disc configurations.

Exact details of the contents were not available, but EMI previewed several previously unreleased tracks including a fast-tempo live version of "Money," and an early mix of "The Great Gig in the Sky" without the soaring vocals of session singer Clare Torry.

Mason was particularly proud of a track he assumed had been lost to history, a version of the title track from 1975's "Wish You Were Here," featuring French jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli.

It dates from sessions at London's Abbey Road studios, Pink Floyd's primary recording base, when Grappelli and fellow violinist Yehudi Menuhin were working down the hallway.

"They came to say hello, which was delightful," Mason recalled. "Someone plucked up the courage to ask them both if they'd like to play something on the record. Stephane absolutely was up for it and I think Yehudi would have liked to, but he's not an improviser and I think he just felt he couldn't do it."

The band opted not to use that version, although Mason in hindsight considers it an unfortunate decision. The two deluxe versions of "Wish You Were Here," available in five- and two-disc configurations, will be released on November 7.

The third disc to get the special treatment is the 1979 double album "The Wall," a semi-autobiographical concept work masterminded by former singer/bassist Roger Waters.

EMI previewed an early version of the hit single "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 1)" featuring different lyrics. Waters' opening couplet goes "We don't need your adulation, we don't need your starry gaze," instead of "We don't need no education, we don't need no thought control" from the final version.

The band will issue seven- and three-disc versions of "The Wall" in February. Expanded versions of its other albums are in the works, as is a DVD documentary about the making of "Wish You Were Here."

While there are no plans for a tour -- singer/guitarist David Gilmour has firmly quashed any speculation of that over the years -- but Mason said he hoped the three surviving members might reunite for a charity performance, as they did in London in 2005.

That show marked Waters' first appearance with the band since he angrily left in 1985.

Tensions have eased somewhat between Waters and his former bandmates, and he was fully involved in the reissue program. Indeed, Mason said he planned to attend the London stop of Waters "The Wall" world tour on Thursday.

Now it would be really nice if they re-issued everything on half speed mastered 180g vinyl

My newphew was over recently. He asked what was that thing beside the Sony tuner. I told him it was a record player. He said "Okay...What's a record?"

I felt old.

True story.

[J.O.]

My son got a turntable a few months ago. I haven't had the heart to tell him that I allowed his mom to sell about 150 albums when he was 3 yrs old. It's bad enough that I hold it against myself. Why should he?

[boestar]

My father dropped off a big box of records on his las visit. there are even 78s in there.

Money(pardon the pun) no object to see the remaining Floyd do it 1 more time
