Great to hear the voice of Roy Harper, be nice to hear more of him hereabouts.

When I was introduced to this album and song at age 17 I felt like I had been given a true treasure.  Lying in the grass on a summer day with this casette playing on my boom box (The 80's) I felt like flight had been granted to me........................

I just never seem to get tired of how the bass and guitar seem to waltz along in fabulous arm-in-arm groove until again and again one or the other goes off on a real tearing run...God, some of the best damn jams on the planet in here!

Anyway, thanks for the song... ;)

...i stumbled upon a compact disc about ten years ago which was a remarkably faithful reproduction of the original LP packaging, right down to the opaque outer sleeve and seal...i bought it on the spot to supplement my three other copies of the album, but you know, those are the sort of serendipetous experiences people can't have in this new era of no-physical-media, certainly not the incidental browsing and discovery...

It fades because the Wish You Were Here album has only the 5 tracks, and they all pretty much fade into eachother. This one fades out and then the first notes of Wish You Were Here start

Look around your favorite torrent site, like isohunt.com, and you'll find WYWH in 5.1 DTS.

It's an extraordinary mix. The first time I played it, I sat enraptured and had to hear it again immediately. I don't do that anymore, really. Although it's tempting, particularly these days, to see PF as a David Gilmour experience - the 5.1 points out how incredibly important Richard Wright was in the sound of this.

Little nuances here and there, the fake strings on Have a Cigar, and a million other places where he's subtle but important... I strongly recommend the 5.1 version as a new way to hear the album with fresh ears.

we call it riding the gravy train. And that personal jet. 

These khats got it knocked. And how about the movie the wall?

They are hot as flames. Love it. Oh and by the way which one's pink?

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.
You're gonna go far,
You're gonna fly high,
You're never gonna die,
You're gonna make it if you try;
They're gonna love you.
Well I've always had a deep respect,
And I mean that most sincere.
The band is just fantastic,
that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it Riding the Gravy Train.
This is so (sadly) realistic in the music industry...

Ask a UK Member of Parliament about the 'Gravy Train'. They (the MP's) wonder why hardly anybody votes in the UK.

One of the best, and most cutting, satires on the 'music biz'. Not that much has changed since Floyd's day, if anything the gravy train has got worse, for all the bleating of the 'industry' about downloads.
