4stringslow Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I don't think of myself as a Floyd anorak but I don't recall a song called 'Free Fun' on Obscured By Clouds. I guess they meant 'Free Four' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger2611 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 It's a shame they won't play again, such an amazing live act, From my understanding Nick Mason and Roger Waters are pally and Dave Gilmour was reliant on Rick Wright for an equal balance of power in the band, with Rick gone that balance has been lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4stringslow Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Didn't Waters effectively leave the band soon after The Wall? Pink Floyd released subsequent albums without Waters, but with Rick Wright gone they were down to just two of the originals (maybe only one if you don't count Gilmour), so probably a good time to call it a day. Still, whatever the internal politics, their recorded legacy is assured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4stringslow Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Yes, that's what I meant. Barrett & Wright are dead, Waters left ages ago, leaving just Mason & Gilmour - and Gilmour wasn't an original member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
