Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

New video for the 50th anniversary.

Amazing.

The box set is killer. I was worried after that terrible 50th anniversary Dark Side box set that had less material than the Immersion set.

While it's cool and definitely improved over the old bootleg, a bit concerning that they used an ancient fan bootleg for the live discs/LPs. I really hate how these major acts approaching death are still hoarding material.

Was also hoping for a remix but on the other hand....like Dark Side, it really can't be improved.

Did a remix for Animals because it needed it.

Highlights of this set....

Hard to say what my favorite band is. I feel that Pink Floyd, if we include Roger Waters solo, made the better music. But I can't just dismiss GN'R either. I say that because whereas I'm always interested in unreleased GN'R stuff, I have zero interest in Pink Floyd or Roger Waters box sets, or any other band for that matter. If GN'R was my favorite band by a clear margin that might make sense, but it's not, so I have no idea why that is.

Perhaps it is because I enjoy the individual talent of Axl, Slash and Duff. But with PF and Waters it is the whole that matters. I'm not particularly impressed by their guitar or vocals skills. Waters was ace on the vocals in the 80s, but that was a very fleeting thing, not raw talent like Axl Rose. With Axl I am interested in his voice in all eras, with Roger it is just a couple of albums in the early to mid 80s.

Great set though. Would like to own it just for the sake of it. But probably won't bother since I will never listen to it.
