@GSgtHartman101 I heard it on the radio tonight and it still gives me shivers after all these years! And to know that the infamous chord @ 1:46 was struck by accident while recording in studio and then elaborated on to build this whole dynamic masterpiece…is amazing. shine on
this is still the best example of band dynamics I have ever seen. Anybody that wants or thinks they want to be part of a “band” enviroment should be made to watch and take a test on this. What a perfect study.
One of the greatest band EVER. Love you Pink Floyds.
