it is my fav clapton performance.  To the point where......and this is a hot take......i don't think Gilmour would have worked on this record.  It's That awesome to me.

 

Mick

I actually agree...Clapton's balance between "choppy" and "smooth" solos are just the right touch.

 

Much like George Harrison's playing, sometimes it is that restraint that really makes a song.

 

Of course, the magic Bob Ezrin created with The Wall could have been duplicated here.

 

I just don't think the subject matter would have the same mass appeal.

I guess what I meant was I don't understand why you are asking me that.

Is that what the cover of yours says?  I thought it was "Talk of the Devil," over there.

 

STILL one of my most played live albums.

I gave this a spin yesterday because I saw your post.  In fairness, I'm not the biggest PF fan.  I only listen to DSotM forward, and my favorite album of theirs is The Wall, which proves I'm not a "real fan."

 

Not bad.  I'm not sure I see the concept behind it, even after reading the Wikipedia explanation.  Maybe if they had made a movie, like they did for The Wall, it would be clearer.  My opinion, and that's obviously all it is, is that Waters is not as smart as he perceives himself to be, so I think he got a little too into the idea that albums have to have a concept.

I mean, Dark Side through The Wall is PF’s best work, and I find that mostly unarguable, so I’d say you’re a real fan for sure.

 

not that I dislike the other stuff either, but that’s where the best music is. That and Echoes off of Meddle.

A "real fan," wouldn't pick The Wall as their favorite Pink Floyd album.  You have to go with something before DSotM or Animals.

It's nice to know people are keeping tabs on me here. ;) Actually I posted in late February on the main page. I basically come and go. I'm not really a "regular" member on here.

Rubbish. Anyone who claims you can’t be a real fan if your favorite is popular is just trying to put you down. You’re a real fan.

Spot on, EP! That's just gatekeeping.

That'd we be like if we said you can't be a real Rush fan if your favorite album is Moving Pictures.

Ironhorse, from 1979. A quality slab of lesser-known classic rock. Randy Bachman's short-lived band after he left Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

 

Give it a try. I play it maybe twice a year.
