Agreed. If you like that than this is a must see DVD:

^^^ Seen it. A must for any fan of the band.

I really like The Endless River. Gilmour's guitar work is inventive as usual, the analog keys sound great. Very colourful impressionist soundscapes with lot of references to the band's catalog /I think there is a sample from Pompei at some point in Sum, the theme from Us and Them, some Shine On harmonies etc./ It is album that I will keep on listening to.

You do realize that it's not actually a new album. It's basically a cluster of tracks that weren't released on The Division Bell.

I do realize that the foundation of the album are tracks not used in The Division Bell and I don't think it is a bad foundation. Unfortunately, I wasn't involved in the recording of The Division Bell, so these tracks are something new to me. Also, I guess there is a plenty of work done later. I am not sure but I think it is similar situation with The Final Cut - lot of ideas and tracks Waters couldn't fit in The Wall, developed later in new album.

I tried to listen to The Endless River and I was bored by the third track. I decided that I was too sober to listen to Pink Floyd. I intend to do a full listen soon.

I really got into them when i was in high school. I have all their studio albums on CD (except Endless River, haven't even listened to that one) and even of few on vinyl. I do prefer their "classic" period more than anything else, but their early albums are interesting.

At 2:29 there is a pretty interesting story about the making of Jugband Blues off of Saucerful of Secrets (one of Syd's last two songs with Floyd).

Nah, there's also Echoes.

I have no idea what the prevailing opinion is on Roger Waters. Was he considered a good bass player?
