Album version of this song is a 9, this performance is a 3 at best
Too tired performance. ![{#Confused} {#Confused}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_confused.gif)

Water's PF included Gilmore greatly.

Live version doesn't cut it. That, and I don't think this holds up after almost 30 years (yikes). IMO, Gilmore's stuff does not have the longevity of Water's PF.

if anyone bought this album after the seeing the cover than it's their fault

plastic rubbish. i thought it had been discarded only to find it's still around.
I dunno. Its still a great song. Saw the tour as it passed through Ohio down at the 'shoe' at OSU in Columbus. Nice reminder of an awesome concert.
Live Floyd is different from studio Floyd. Both are great.

...sent up to mir on TM-7, the delicate sound of thunder was the first rock album to be released in space!..
This lifeless recording shows us how not to perform this song.
The version on 1993's "Pulse" is a better example of how this song can be done to better effect.

also is has been how long since this was played? 12 years........
Not a great version, very muddled.
THIS WAS THE FIRST PF ALBUM I BOUGHT, OTHERS FOLLOWED NATURALLY. I HAD A CHOICE AT THE RECORD STORE AND THIS WAS AN EASY DECISSION-NOT SAYING IT'S THEIR BEST, BUT I LIKE IT A WHOLE LOT.
Shhhhh! Not so loud, some of us just woke up. ![{#Shhh} {#Shhh}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/eusa_shhh.gif)

Great song, Great artists!!!
Have I metioned in the last couple of day how much I love PF? Live, new, old, whatever...it is ALL incredible.
By the time this \'band\' released this song, there should have been a class-action lawsuit against Gilmore and company just for continuing to call themselves Pink Floyd.
Frauds.

I have to agree-not as good as the studio version at all. It lacks the vocal "edge" of the studio version.

Goes to show people say what they think and not what they know.
Basically all Pink Floyd is the Heart and Mind of God.
Probably the only Floyd song that I prefer the studio version to the live version...

Sadly, Pink floyd is played at least every 2 hours on here, you havent noticed?

Is it because they are they are too obviously eclectic? ![roll eyes](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_rolleyes.gif)

Most Excellent - BEST live show though :-)

The epitome of marginal: a weak live version of an ok post-Waters song. The \"Zabriskie Point\" Floyd suggested earlier is a good idea. Good, underexposed Floyd on that soundtrack. Some nice Garcia/Dead too.

I would have to disagree strongly. I think some of the most powerful meaning and concepts were in The Wall and The Final Cut. Wish You Were Here was at one time my favorite album as a whole by Floyd, but I think I have begun to lean more towards The Final Cut. Musically I don't think The Final Cut is as captivating as Shine on You Crazy Diamond or Wish You Were Here, but the whole message and theme cuts into me more deeply. Maybe it is because I have become more politically minded in the past decades?
Though I totally want to be a pro-Waters groupie.. I do have to admit that this is the song that got me interested in Floyd in the frist place. And then I started buying and listening to their other stuff. With little effort I saw how much of a sell out Gilmour was... Even though I really liked his song Fat Ol\' Sun.
Found myself signing it the other day in fact. But anyways, I really think that Pink Floyd\'s sound was defined by Waters lyrics and Gilmours gituar playing. With Waters and Gilmour trading off on vocals.
So yes this verison is lifeless, yes it isn\'t the best song ever by Floyd, but I have to give it credit for opening up a whole new world for me. Where Pink Floyd became by favorite band.
btw.... I have never once listened to Division Bell... Maybe I should give it a try. Or perhaps I have other things better to do. :D
yikes - the vocals on this are criminal - surely there is better stuff in their catalog ?
This is lifeless...even less so than the studio version.

I agree. Sounds like David had a cold or something.
