I will never understand how folks can think Roger Waters was the be all end all about Pink Floyd. This one song is miles beyond anything Waters ever released on a solo level. For me at least David Gilmour's soulful/haunting guitar and his ability to actually sing a song rather than just scream puts him head and shoulders above Waters any day.

I've loved this since the first time I heard it all those years ago. It is very powerful IMO.

The fretless bass line is the bee's knees!
Pino is a great player, although technically he is only in JM's power blues trio, I think there is another bass player who tours with him for the pop shows. As far as DG's solo efforts, I love the Gdansk live DVD - what a great symbolic event, to play "A Great Day for Freedom" in that very shipyard. You could see how moved the Poles in attendance were to have that song played for them. Shivers down the spine moment. |

The overall emotion shown in this tune is what he lacks in ANY of his current work. Miss the old David Gilmour. We want you back.

I've gotta disagree (respectfully) with you on this. I saw PF in 1988 without Waters and they were remarkable. And they were clearly still Pink Floyd to the audience. |

That would probably be a cut in salary for him. |
