I saw Pink Floyd in concert outside in Manheim West Germany in the late 1980's.
I was USAF so I couldn't "party hard" but it was still a memorable event...
Nokta FoRs Gold, a Gold Cube, 2 Keene Sluices and Lord only knows how many pans....not to mention a load of other gear my wife still doesn't know about!
Great album Animals! I probably listened to Dark Side 100's of times with headphones & enhancers back in the day. With Animals, the songs flow into the next and is very slow & hypnotic, really pulls you in. I consider Roger Waters THE "Lyric King".
Last count I had 14 of their releases. LOVE Pink Floyd (and post Floyd David Gilmore works as well). A very innovative group to say the least. Poor Syd went down the rabbit hole but he sure left some wild tracks.
I had/have enough on my MP3 player that I could treat my coworkers to a full 8-1/2 hours of Pink Floyd on casual Fridays. And did. Like it or not. ;-)
Same for the Beatles.
Sadly, Stevie Ray Vaughan/Double Trouble didn't make it far enough to fill a day . . . but there you have my three most appreciated groups. Jethro Tull competing with Led Zepplin for #4.
First day of Recording Engineering school many many moons ago... The recording engineer teachers of the school did a meet and greet of all the "newbies"...
A question was asked to each of us... "if you could record / engineer music for any band.. what band would it be" ?
I was last and the only one to reply... "Pink Floyd".
They all made very big smiles to this... as if this was the one answer they were looking for.
