    I agree Atom Heart mother live with a Brass band would be amazing. Did it ever happen, I suppose it must have ?

    Oh yes, lots of times - with local orchestras and choirs often, though the same conductor. The musicians would sight-read and sometimes the results were better than others It was also played as a 4 piece as well, and works in that format - the Floyd could improvise more without the orchestra and other musicians playing along.

    Beechy is right about waters being embarrasing though. i saw him in '06&'07 and both times had to put up with a song called 'leaving beruit'. utter dogshit.
    his heart's in the right place but his head is often up his arse
    on the comeback front though, if they ('pink floyd')announced a world tour tomorrow, it'd be sold out tomorrow. and the same goes for zep.
