| Re: the best of... Well, I'm sitting here listening to the new Floyd "Best Of" album. It's nice to hear this collection all as one "suite". But, I must be honest. I still think this is just a money maker. For someone like myself who has been a dedicated Floyd fan for the last 15 years, a live show from say... 75 or 77 would have been better. Much better. This is great for someone who doesn't own the complete Pink Floyd catalog. B/c you get a little bit of everything. But, I am a big fan of live shows, so when "Is there Anybody Out There" was released I was so happy. An "official" release of a Floyd concert other then the post-Waters Floyd! Lets be real here, there are alot of RoIO's of Floyd out there. I am the proud owner of like 75 or 80. And only a handful are true gems. The rest are so-so at best. I would be more than happy to spend the $15 or $20 on an official live release then a boot. But, what can I do? So, I can't complain too much, right? It is after all, a "new" Floyd album. Even if some of us already have all of these albums. Anywho, I guess in the end, I will still treasure it as I do the rest. But still, 1977 or earlier...live? It would be so nice.
