Thanks, Bill, for letting us in on the fact that Gilmour jammed the bass on that!  I knew he could jam it, because he sure did, in a very big and mind-blowing way, on Barrett's 1970 solo effort, especially on the song "Maisie," which is as wickedly sinister as can be -- but it's cool to know he did it on THIS, too!  He's always been a Guitar God to me and many of my mates -- what a wildly talented, gifted artist he is!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..

Right on nelsonha. An 11 just about for everything the Pink Floyd put out over the decades. Their music and lyrics are just as timely today as they were in the late 60's, early 70's, etc., etc.

There really needs to be an 11 for songs like this.

Magnificent quality, cowbell too, timely "treat", thank you Radio Paradise DJ. :))

Just freakin great and the furious lyrics ice the cake.

Hey, You, Whitehouse, haHa, charade you are! 
Even if it's a Thatcher-era Brit context we Yanks can only glean the slightest glimpse of, it's A RANT WORTHY OF ALMIGHTY PRAISE!

Oh my. Listened to this album so many times, it's scary, yet it *still* sounds new. Not the most uplifting music in the world, but damn it, master craftsmanship at work here. Every single element perfectly fits. Got those classic blues lessons melded throughout - the instruments & voice mimic and echo each other.

Don't know what to suggest except, 1) absence makes the heart grow fonder, 2) set and setting, and 3) this always sounds damned good to me.

Ok, this sounds different from what my ears have been listening to since it was new.

Remaster from the latest box set ?

 ... if it isn't, it just sounded really damned good this time around for some reason.

I have to agree with your statement. IMHO only WYWH - dedicated to Syd - made a decent comeback to the roots.

It may not be the best that Pink Floyd has ever done but Floyd at their worst is still better than most bands at their best....

thanks 4 playing songs from PFs best album (with the exception of "The Piper ...", of course).

Dull dull dull - an assumption of greatness assumed is still an ass...um...P.... I can listen to Floyd on a good night, but this ...ugghhh.. PSD clicked half-way through..could not listen to more

Synthesized pigs and calling Margaret Thatcher a "f***ed up old hag."  Can it get any better than that?

Snap! Had it on high rotation on my cassette player set at 11 and a spliff to hand, doing 60mph on the inside lane.

The boredom came from the van - if not a VW minibus! - not from the music, IMHO

Great as most of the songs of PF are. Is my perception correct that the song Pigs is played more often (but not enough ) these days?

Call this tune what you will, but it certainly has a point and a poignant one at that. When you think of all the 'baby, baby'...tunes out there...this one comes in and harpoons the fluff! ...and by the way...more cowbell. (wimpy cowbell if you ask me!) Maybe it's a woodblock.
