I started with 'Dark Side Of The Moon' and then went backwards almost immediately. Once I hit 'Piper At The Gates Of Dawn' and the single 'Arnold Layne', I wore them out for a time. They are one of the main reasons I got into music in the first place... after my own family and the musicians/singers within. (None wanted to pursue them as a career though, which is a loss for the world in a few cases.)

I have been getting a kick out of watching some of the YouTube reactors being told to watch 'Comfortably Numb' from the '94 Pulse Tour, which is one of the most definitive Floyd experiences ever done. The look on their faces when that solo starts. And especially when it ends...

(My favorite comment in one channel: "When the first solo started, I turned to my girlfriend and said, 'This is the second greatest solo ever.' She replied, "What is the greatest?" I looked at her as tears formed in my eyes and said, 'It starts in about one minute.'.&quot

We got about that much here at the house. And, it will all freeze until Thursday, then it will be in the mid 40s and next week we go back to mid fifties. So, it will all melt away.

Until the next front rolls through...
