Let’s quit fooling around and get down to what matters – bands that had a profound influence on our upbringing. The hallucinogenic era wouldn’t have been the same without these guys. By the time you get to the 0.50-minute mark, be at full screen, and full volume:
Pink Floyd has a new album coming out on November 10th: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music/pink-floyd-releasing-new-album-november-article-1.1949595
Breathe, breathe in the air
Don’t be afraid to care
Leave but don’t leave me
Look around and choose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you’ll give and tears you’ll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run, rabbit, run
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don’t sit down, it’s time to dig another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race toward an early grave.
Dude! You must be as old as I am! 🙂 And watching the video, when did these guys get that old too?
I saw the Wish You Were Here Tour at Milwaukee County Stadium in 1975 as a junior in HS. A buddy’s older brother drove us all up there from the Chicago area in the family’s 1971 Ford Country Squire station wagon – man, were we cool or what?!
Now, for extra bonus points, I still have “Dark Side of the Moon” on the original vinyl LP. If only I could find that black light bulb…..

It had to have the 429 V-8, right? A buddy of mine drove us in his mother’s ’71 LTD to camp out in Sedona and Flagstaff one weekend, and the night-time cold weather iced the radiator – though we didn’t know! About 30 minutes down the hill the 429 froze up like a true Ford, and we had a long walk!
Oh my, memories of Griffith Park Observatory – Dark Side of the Moon laser show. My university freshman biology professor told us to get stoned before the start, he said it made the experience more intense.
_Summer ’68_ is my favorite Pink Floyd song from their pre-megastardom era. It was written by the now deceased Richard Wright. Listen to it a few times. It has some weird late 60’s bits to it, but it really grew on me.
