Now that would be interesting to hear. |

It took two weeks after daily work to complete the drawing. I scanned it in 2 parts because of it's size. Unfortunately I used wrong tools: an old, technical-drawing paper, and a too hard (4B) pencil - better things weren't under my hand at this time. I didn't have possibilies to draw until years, so I had to relearn to select and use the right tools.
This is a beautiful portrait...and Roger has definitely improved with age. |

I'm with you on that one! I don't think I can ever seperate the audio from that image. Intentional or not - what a great soundtrack to the film. |

Used to have this 45. B side? Maybe Great Gig in the Sky.
Wonder if it's worth anything.

It would have been a hell of a tune for anyone else, but looking at the rest of the album, it seems like a sellout. Still a 8.5 for me though. . . . .
There is no way to listen to this objectively and consider it a "sellout". Mainstream radio might play it 24 hours a day, but they can never co-opt the meaning of this song. |

Agreed, though it only gets a 6 from me. On one of those documentaries; Roger played the way he first wrote it, more of a Mississippi delta blues style and it was awesome, just should've kept it a stripped down acoustic blues song! Anyway, this is the only song on the inarguably "Best Album of all Times" that I don't like!
