    Us and Them kinda underrated I feel.

    I know it's a challenge and I'm not necessarily knocking anyone's vote, but the song is one of Floyd's best: musically and lyrically. Water's last tour even named after it.

    Great single, killer tour, but its departure from the sonic themes of Dark Side of the Moon is why I voted it off the album.

    I asked this in the other thread but medozk closed it before anyone could answer: has ed ever done a full version of brain damage?
    This doesn't answer your question...
    but here are the stats on Brain Damage:
    1) According to livefootsteps...
    Brain Damage has only been performed at a PJ show once at the 2010 Hard Rock Calling festival in London.
    Looks like it was an "intro" for Corduroy at this show.

    2) PJdb (the only site I know of that tracks EV solo shows) says Brain Damage has been performed 33 times & played as a tag to Sometimes 12 times at EV shows.
    I've only heard it live once...
    in Jacksonville back in 2012 and it was not a full version.

    Awesome info. Thank you Dave.

    Might be the best show I have ever seen, from a total experience.

    Rolemodelsinblood hated it lol.

    I, like you two guys, thought it was awesome. I saw TDSOTM tour and The Wall tour (twice). I liked the Us And Them tour best of all.

    On to Round 2 to determine the GREATEST song on the album 'Dark Side of the Moon' by Pink Floyd
    Eliminated Round 1 -  Speak To Me, Any Colour You Like, and Money

    For anyone new to the game:
    You are going to pick the song that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 3 days I remove the three (3) songs with the most votes.
    We will then move on to Round 3  - Remember you are voting to eliminate songs from contention.

    Lets have fun with this. Remember debating and discussing why your right and others are wrong is always fun.  
    I don't know any of these songs...

    Chris, you've already alerted us to your ignorance. Go get a CT scan, buddy.

    Us And Them
    There are the obvious 3 that will and should be on their way to a final and then there's the not so clear next 3 and then that 1 that should be a part of another. After much debate and listening to each of them a few times, I am going to have to go with Us and Them. Good song, but I really enjoy the sound of On the Run and Gig a lot more. Both are songs you can just get immersed in where as Us and Them seems like a more serious endeavor that requires a different type of listening. That probably makes no sense, but it's all I got. Very hard choice though.

    As a side, I decided to start a track radio of Brain Damage and this is what was generated. Love it.

    It's a hopeless situation...

    We better ease off. Some guys around here take things like this as a challenge and seek to sabotage.

    My sister and then brother in law saw Pink Floyd perform The Wall at the Berlin Wall when it was being taken down. I have a couple small pieces of the wall. My ex-brother in law has the pieces with color and graffiti on them. 

    Different album and random, but who cares.

    :lol:

    I have to say that Nassau Coliseum is my least favorite venue in this area - but sometimes you have to go where the band is playing. 

    It's cool that you got to see the entire Wall show!! In America!

    I'd still vote with the man with the frozen object/liquor impediment. Sorry Jose. :fearful:  My favorite is being decimated but this is what happens when you put an album full of perfection on the block.

    Time is an excellent song but I have always liked brain damage better.  Eclipse is icing on the cake.
