Couldn't have said it better. I saw them live for Animals and The Wall, and then Post-Waters for Momentary Lapse of Reason. Meddle is a great one, I tend to like the older stuff better. Check out Obscured by Clouds if you haven’t. A leaser known album, as it was originally made for a movie soundtrack, but one of my favorites. Also, Gilmour Live in Gdansk is simply the best live performance I have ever heard. He plays lots of old stuff, and Echoes is just incredible with Rick Wright.

The older albums are the soundtrack of my high school years. Like a lot of people my age, Dark Side Of The Moon came first, leading me to backtrack through everything earlier. The creative experimentation is almost mind numbing.
I think it all coalesced into a music of amazing power.
Many bands seemed too lose their way, not having the same power as time went on. Not so with Pink Floyd.

Nothing like a good homburg, especially in blue. Nice one!

Thank you, Joe. Most kind.


Good thing you saved those coffin box hats from oblivion, Joe. And you do enjoy your stingies. Nice catch.


That hat has enough brim for three of my hats! As close to a sombrero as you're likely to get!

Win win!


Best,
Joe

Very hard like a helmet [emoji858] for protection while riding.

Lacing on the wide sweatband I assume to tighten fit

Happy National Hat Day friends, both hatted and non. For my final appointment with my hand surgeon today I brought out the big guns! This is the finest level of quality in a Italian Borsalino Lobbia (homburg) in the color, bismutto from the mid-1950s. "Qualita Extra Superiore", and it sure is. Going out in public on "my holiday" required a real statement. BTW, my hand doctor released me, all good! Now to exercise that left over limp out of my "slap foot!"

Excellent news about your hand, Mike. And just the right hat to celebrate with.

Cannot be a coincidence that there a quite a number of Pink Floyd fans over here. Been a fan for as long as I can remember. After The Wall though their efforts were not as powerful. There just no band that comes close to albums like Meddle, Dark side of the moon, Wish you were here, Animals and The Wall in a row. Waters may be a bit of a d..k, but, man, could he write some awesome music (and lyrics). Seen the Floyd a couple of times and Gilmour and Waters too. Something to remember alright.

That Gorasgu is truly something special, Stefan.
