David Gilmour is one of my all-time favorite rock guitarists and this is my favorite Pink Floyd song. A wonderful tribute to Syd Barrett. I saw them perform this at Madison Square Garden a long long time ago. RIP Rick Wright and Syd Barrett.

Would love it if they released some of the old stuff in hi-res. I’d love a copy of Piper At The Gates Of Dawn in hi-res. That’s an album that I’ve gotten lost in several times on a head full of......

Thanks it's great.
I saw them twice in the 1970's while Roger Waters was still a member. Reading the history of the band it is amazing they survived Barrett going mental and leaving. He was the founder, and song writer. The performances I saw I would characterize as dark. It was around the time between Ummagumma and Meddle.
I saw them in the 80’s with Gilmour, Wright and Mason. The emphasis was totally on music and off the lyrics with the band drawing little to no attention to themselves. I felt like they were painting a musical portrait for the audience to enjoy. It was a wonderful performance that I’ll never forget.

I think we can say that about, at least, more 3 Pink Floyd albums.
Wall
Dark side of the moon
The Final Cut

I love all the Pink Floyd and Roger Waters stuff.... Animals is one of my favorites, Meddle, Wish You Were Here, The Final Cut are my favorites. Really like Roger Waters New live triple album!
Ok, I just checked my database. Between Pink Floyd and Roger Waters I have 34 albums; CDs, SACDs, Downloads, and Vinyl. Some albums I might have in a couple formats

.All PF albums are immortal, even I find Division Bell, which is a departure from the original "Pink Floyd Sound", to be excellent and musically satisfying but there is something very very especial about Wish You Were Here that can't be expressed in words. I don't know what state of mind PF were at the time they created & composed these songs but I consider this entire album to be the very best of PF creation, followed by DSOTM, off-coarse my personal opinion only.
My first PF album was Piper At the Gates of Dawn, followed by Wish You Were Here, DSOTM and others...all in the 80's and in Cassette tape format, since then I became so much engrossed that we started slowly owning them in various physical media lp, cd, vhs & dvd concerts, sacd over the time and now digital. Its a fun journey.

I loved Pink Floyd in the 70s, and probably still do. Saw them in MD in 74/75, forgot exactly when. Reading this thread made me nostalgic, so I checked HDTracks for downloads. Unfortunately, none of their albums are available.

Qobuz & Acoustic Sounds have a few of the late Waters-less albums in Hi-Res: The Division Bell, "The Later Years", Delicate Sound of Thunder, The Endless River, etc. But it is a shame that DSOTM & WYWH haven't been made available as Hi-Res downloads, since they already did all the work for the SACDs... (I have the SACDs, plus the LP & CD sets, etc... I still have the WYWH LP I bought in 1974, & it's still in good shape!)
I've been thinking and for me the Pink Floyd masterpiece remains The Wall.
It's not just the magnificent music and lyrics. It is the atmosphere of the entire album, from the bomb that announces death when it falls, but what follows is life in the form of a baby's cry, passing through all the social (especially the war) and individual problems portrayed in songs such as Comfortably Numb.
Despite Dark Side Of the Moon and Wish You were Here are so great, to me, the album that has achieved a similar atmosphere like The Wall is The Final Cut.
But the choice is difficult and personal, and we can never forget songs like "On the turning way" and the amaizing guitar solo, or songs like "One of these Days", probably the most energetic song ever!
And so on and so on...
