WOW. this is S-A-D. :-\

It's a free country and all but hearing these guys without Mark is just bizarre.
More squeezing some cash out of a product than art...

Actually they are more than enjoyable, if you go to enjoy the show without prejudices...

The Band went out and played without Bob, exactly the same situation.

Well Velvet Underground did it after Lou left for almost an album, and even a Fleetwood Mac US tour was scheduled without MacVie or Fleetwood.  And I've got a whole lot more examples but it really doesn't worth it. Either you believe it and give them a chance or not. But Dusty I've got to hand it to you you are an irony expert, really the tongue breaking bones!

The Band was a band BEFORE they played with Dylan. They had come together, one by one, to back an old rocker called Ronnie Hawkins and then set off in their own right. They made one or two singles and, at the time they were "found" by Dylan, they had a three-month residency playing a club in New Jersey. Not as big-time, perhaps, but a cohesive, experienced and well-honed band before the flood.

pink floyd without waters or barrett is no comparison to those other bands. David Gilmour was as much the soul of pink Floyd, (especially musically) as those two.

Pink Floyd was a mixture between the lyrics of Roger Waters with the music arrangements of David Gilmour, and sometimes the other way around, both were Pink Floyd. PF without Roger was ok because Gilmour is a master, but something was really missing at the lyrics.

The boys of "The Straits" should be applauded for writing and recording their own, if they do. But they better change their name if they want any credibility.

A friend of mine suggested "Phil and the Palmers" when attending the show at the RAH...

Quite funny!
