There's a single version of "Not Now John" (probably the best song on a not-very-good album) that uses the lyric, "STUFF all that" instead ...
My basses are Rickenbackers. My synthesizers and recording gear are analog.

I forgot about the single version. The album version is better. The backup singers have to swear too... funny.

Being the ever hopeful guy I am, can we be naive enough to imagine this may heal the rift? May they have mellowed?

That would be awkward - poor old Nick Mason would then be out in the cold.

It'll be a 10pm Friday job for me, Nate. Glad I've got Foxtel!

WOW!!!!!!!!!! That was AWESOME!!! I felt so happy to see Roger and Dave and Nick and Rick on the same stage again, and dedicating "Wish you were Here" to Syd was a VERY nice touch.

I nearly cried like 6 or 7 times. "The child has grown, the dream is gone." line got to me big time. Money seemed kind of empty. Not big enough sounding. Rog messed up on bass during Dave's second "Numb" solo. Dave had to re-write his "Wish You Were Here" solos because he can't sing them anymore. I do like how he and Roger shared the lyrics though. Adding the reprise to "Breathe" was a nice touch. Very sad. No way they're be a reunion tour. Dave just seems too old. They all seemed close to tears the entire set.
