...Sitting here with Meddle on the box at mega watts. Echoes makes me want to do things that I don't do anymore. Guess beer will have to do. The 14" subwoofer is almost touching my desk chair. I may soil myself. Next up.....Stevie Ray.....Good night, Gracie. I REALLY want a cigarette....but won't.... 51 hours and counting...[^]...Help Me Rhonda....LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa.......Yea, I know..shut up and go to sleep..................

    I saw Pink floyd in Los Angeles doing the Wall tour. I do remember the giant Pink Pig ballon[:I]. One of the few concerts I think that had the widest age ranges for fans that I had ever seen.

    Hang in there tap, the first three days are the hardest. If you get through that, you can get it done. Don't hit the beer too hard, it'll weaken your will power. I'm at six weeks and counting and it definitely gets easier every day after the third one.[:)][:)]

    Saw PF the two times they were at the Indy dome. Saw Waters when he was here last just north of town. Have 4 (isle) seats to see him again 09-30-06.

    I'm numb!
    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    I saw them at Anaheim Stadium for the Animals tour. They had two giant pigs. One hovered above the audience with glowing eyes. They also had a giant pink one float over an empty section of the parking lot. Some one shot it with a fare gun, (stage hand I think), and the audience gleefully cheered, as the helium filled pig went up like the Hindenburg.

    I once got paid a $35 discount towards the next Jaycee convention to be an usher at a Pink Floyd concert at the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando Florida. My section assignment was Front center section. With free bus ride to and from the event. Great concert.

    wow...just had to put the floyd on...i did the delicate sound of thunder tour, to the docklands in london..music was superb as always is..

    some guys are doing tribute band to floyd, thought i'd see them for the hell of it ,(last summer in halifax), supported by a U2 tribute band, the U2 was fantastic[:)], the floyd band[xx(](a insult to floyd)

    i was pounced on & hauled out by 7/8 security guys for hurling beer cans on stage, in front of a few thousand folk, best laugh i had in years.[:D]

    Tap? Hey buddy, you still hanging in there? You make it through today and you've got the worst of it whipped. Sex might help, just reach for a "patch" afterwards.[:D][;)]

    Seriously, try eating some carrots or celery. Hang tough.

    I don't care if the sun don't shine
    And I don't care if nothing is mine
    And I don't care if I'm nervous with you
    I'll do my loving in the winter.

    I like the old stuff...It's long been a dream of mine to hear Cymbaline in concert.

    I ended up so wasted I could hardly find my way back to 29 palms.
    I was a party hound back then.

    .....Still hanging in there. A few cravings, but they pass. 67 hours. As for starting this thread.....well,....I just needed some encouragement. Slept really well.[|)] I've toned things down to James Taylor at a more reasonable wattage (for now). Mary Chapin-Carpenter is next up.

    Good to hear. You make it through this evening, and you will definitely notice a difference tomorrow. Good Luck.[:)]

    Gotta go, I have to pick up my dad and go to a funeral. Never fun, but I don't think the guest of honor wanted to be there either. I'll check back with you tonight.

    hey tap...we are all with you dude....you need to call and talk let me know. We want you to make it!

    when I went off to college in 1981, music to me was either country or beach. I am from a small rural town in eastern NC and rock and roll was something the freaks listened to. We were way more interested in cars and girls...and our music reflected that.

    I went off to college and the first day of classes a history professor was teaching about the vaguaries of history and we focused on stonehenge as a topic. To set the mood he brought out his big ole Hi Fi 8 track and played this really weird song with all these clocks chiming and ringing...I figured something was wrong with the player!

    It was my first exposure to PF. Once I found out that big city girls really dug that stuff, I commenced to listen to it more regularly!

    When I was in 7th grade, I asked my sister for some classic rock music for Christmas, and gave her a few ideas of what I might like, but had yet to hear. She got me two albums, and she was not familiar with either of them.

    1. The final cut--Pink Floyd
    2. Axis: Bold as Love--Jimi Hendrix

    They are both still two of my favorite albums.

    ....Thanks guys. Your support means a lot to me. It's still not easy, but I am really impressed with the laser procedure. Cathy and I both find it hard to believe how calm we are. No nail chewing, grinding teeth or aimless pacing. Patches, gum, etc. never had near the effect that this has.

    I love to yell at my son.. "If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding... So how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat!"

    I saw the Animals Tour in Boston Garden(the pink pig was floating loose around the building) about '76 and The Wall at Nassau Colliseum in NY about '79(marching Nazi hammers on the big screen almost put me over the edge)

    I saw them play last year, and while it was obvious that they had a large, and very loyal following, I thought the show was just "okay".

    I do dig me some Flaming Lips though!

    Hang tough Tapwater, I am at two months, and I promise if I can do it anyone can!! I never saw Pink Floyd, but I did roll up for the mystery tour.

    You can do this man, you know you want to be off those things and saving $3.00 a day to buy guns makes it look even better.

    I never saw them live, they might not be very good.

    When I saw Floyd on the Animals tour, I was rather disapointed that everything sounded just like the LP. I really like a band that can improvise. I did like their production though.

    .....We smoked Tourney...A house brand from Speedway gas stations. A carton was around $28. With two of us smoking, it was often two cartons a week. Between $2500 & $3000 per year will look real good in the "gun fund". [^]
