For a Lazy Saturday . . . .
Three legends, one stage, one song. Sometimes explanations aren’t necessary.
Bowie likely wasn’t at his best; he’d had cardiac issues about 2 years earlier, and was taking 2006 off from touring. But the performance is IMO worth viewing anyway.
FWIW: if you want to see class in action, watch carefully what Bowie does whenever Gilmour takes the lead vocal or plays a guitar solo. He intentionally backs away, out of the spotlight, and lets Gilmour “drive”.
Two of the three (David Bowie and Richard Wright) are now gone. But they left behind some of their magic for posterity.

That is awesome, never saw this, thanks Hondo
We have lived during the best of times. I doubt many truly appreciate that fact.
This origional played out of my Technics turntable and Sansui amp with Marantz speakers was pure heaven.
Personally I prefer JBLs – as in the L166. I still have them.
Couple those to a Kenwood receiver with about 160W RMS, a Technics turntable, and a Staunton 681EEE . . . and IMO analog sound couldn’t get much better.
Thanks Hondo, and Hat tip to Dave. I still have two Marantz Imperial 7 speakers, two Sansui SP1200 spkrs, running off a Marantz 4415 quard rcvr/amp, Dual CS 32/1218 TT and Panasonic RD 2900 direct drive TT. Didn’t get custody of the TEAC 7″ reel to reel. Bought in 72, still works. Good Times.
That reminds me of the Stereo barracks wars, who can be loudest before CQ/SDO has an aneurism on you.
(Toothy grin)
I grew tired of barracks boombox wars, so I acquired a cheap crew-served ghetto blaster, and went hunting tapes
Obscure, annoying, and often -weird- tapes. Weird Japanese mood music. Obscure culture tribal stuff.
Whale song.
-whale song-
That was the killer tape. I put that one on, dialed it up to 11, and blasted whales chatting each other up down the corridor. Pretty soon I had either a bunch of ceasefire offers, or an appalled First Sergeant declaring a ceasefire unilaterally.
Gwooooooopp. Ohaahhhh. Ooooooweeeeeeeeeeeyorp. BurrrrghhhhhhhhhHhmmmmmeEEEEew….
About 90 minutes of it. Blue, Right, Humpback, Orca, etc.
1SG: “You a-holes knock it the F off with the GD noise right F-ing now before (Mailclerk) finds something worse! (Mailclerk)! Turn that .., what the F -was- that? The F off! Now!”
Indian Sitar music was another awesome sonic weapon.
Thanks, Hondo for sharing…wore out “The Wall” 33 1/2 LP listening to that song. What a great version with that Trio.
For anyone interested, here is the original song, “Comfortably Numb” by Pink Floyd from their movie “The Wall”:

Getting close to that time. We’ll have a good game. Will raise a prost and a chugg-a-lugg for each score for each team. Did ya see my post about Mama;s oldest son selling the prime tickets he had? 900 USD for both. Put ’em out on his spacedout page thingie. We’ve disowned him.
HOW ‘BOUT THEM DAWGS!!!!
ROLL TIDE ROLL!
goarmybeatnavy

*Gulp*…
May the best team win today, 5th/77th FA. It’s all good..😉
Enjoy the Game!
$900.00 yep and that was cheap. sold within 5 minutes of posting. Had heard they were going for up to 3 large.
No matter who wins the game, we win a good game.
Enjoying the game. HBTD RTR
Thanks, Hondo. There are too many people leaving us too soon. Baryshnikov is still around, but can’t do the things he used to do. Jumped the gate to leave the Soviet Union and do more than just classical stuff.
Ex – Thanks. MB is an amazing athlete and artist. My bride wanted to take ballet classes. So for about 1.5 yr it was eight women in tights with me the only male. Whoo-hoo! and sanctioned by my bride! It was great for my warm up and balance on soccer fields. I learned ballet folks are some of the best athletes in the world, but the intense bodily focus tends to make one narcissistic. I went from ballet phobic to really enjoying its gracefulness and athleticism.
I’ve heard that about ballet. I seem to recall one of the big time quarterbacks or running backs in the seventies took ballet to improve their balance = improve their ability to dodge and weave through the opposing team.
Saw the the Bolshoi in the 90’s. Those guys and gals were some ripped Russians.
That was Lynn Swann of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Stallworth was also persuaded to do based on Swann’s Results.
My Saturday will now be consumed by reading Tom Kratman’s latest Carrera book “A Pillar of Fire by Night”.
It just hit bookstore shelves.
Congratulations to Coach Saban, The Players, and to Another Pat, on the SEC Championship Victory, by the Alabama Crimson Tide.
It was a good game!
Have you heard Gilmore speak French? He is utterly fluent, look on youtube, evidently he has a degree in French sufficient enough to do live radio.
Ah hell, I still be diggin’ on James Brown:-)
We lived amongst Giants.
