Re: Roger Waters set slammed by Death Cab

Dave and Rick sounded like Pink Floyd because, well, they are the sound of the band. They weren't trying to make any political statements or anything of the sort, they cared about the music and what it felt like to the audience. The crowd was much more enthusiastic and much more satisfied after the show. Great music will resonate with you on a deep level, which is the way Dave's show went.

Songs like Money, Comfortable Numb, Wish You Were Here, etc are not close to as good sung by anyone other the David Gilmour.

I would rather listen to Roger lip synch or hire other people to sing the songs than listen to Rick and Dave trying to hit notes they haven't been able to hit in 20 years...
