*Raises hand to wipe tear from his eye*
Hi, my name is Donny, and I've never seen Pink Floyd perform live in concert.
I got into PF right after The Division Bell tour. It was around my sophomore year in high school, and Pink Floyd had JUST played Nashville, Tennessee a few months beforehand. I live in Memphis, Tennessee, two hundred miles away. I've kicked myself repeatedly ever since.
The closest I've gotten is seeing Roger three times, in St. Louis, Nashville, and Atlanta. I was very lucky, however, to be at the Atlanta show. Mr. Rick Wright and his wife have a house in Atlanta, and they attended the concert. Rick went backstage afterward. I didn't know any of this at the time of the show, but found out all about it on some Floyd message board later.
Mr. Gilmour's latest thoughts on the unlikelihood of any more Floyd activity make me quite sad. But, as it has been pointed out, Roger is, of course, quite active, Dave has these solo shows popping up all of the time, and apparently Rick will be unleashing something new upon us soon.
Cheers,
-Donny
