'It was great to see Roger all smiles'
....playing bass well enough, harmonising well enough, but singing solo on 'Comfortably Numb' very poorly in comparison to Gilmour, I thought. Anyone else notice how weak he sounded?

'Gilmour looked less euphoric'
....after the condemnation of their post-Waters music, and the slagging off of some members musical ability, that Roger handed out, no real surprise?

'If there's no more Floyd activity I reckon it'll be due to Dave's reluctance'
....more likely Rick Wright, he was the one (If I remember it correctly) that was most pilloried by Waters.

Two observations to finish.
The re-union worked well for the occassion, I (for one) thoroughly enjoyed it over all. I was so moved by it (blasting out, wired through my stereo) that tears (of sheer joy) were rolling down my face as 'Numb' came to its climax.

Secondly, Pink Floyd don't need Roger any more.
They make a great sound without him.
Their quality did not diminish after his departure (IMHO).
The Earls Court show (with Sam Brown et al on backing vocals) -thankfully taped off the TV a while back (what a pity it's apparently not available on DVD!) ranks as my all time favourite concert to watch and watch, again and again.
'Pulse' the live CD set from the same source - truly magnificent!
I like all things folk (I should point out) - but STILL rate the Floyd! HFA
