Very sad to hear this news tonight. "Dark Side of the Moon" is my favorite album of all time. In the past, whenever I was having a rough time or I needed to make some decision about my life I would get in the car, put the CD in, and just drive. I even got to where I could start the CD leaving the house, listen to the whole thing, and pull back into the driveway as the final heartbeats were sounding. I'm glad that I got to see them in '94 even though it wasn't the full lineup.

He made a lot of great albums. It was good to have him here as long as he was.

Just here to add my .02 on how this loss is devastating. For those who have said they didn't know he was sick, I remember reading the BBC's website on this saying that he passed after "a short battle with cancer." It always seems to me that people die after a long battle with cancer, but clearly this was not the case.

Unfortunately, as far as a Pink Floyd reunion is concerned, I don't think it will it happen. In watching the documentary on the "Remember that Night" dvd, there was a meeting between Waters and Gilmour caught on camera briefly (1:47 runtime):

Just watching, you can feel that dis-ease between them. It all seems rather awkward, and it would appear the two could hardly maintain eye contact. I could be wrong...I'm no psychologist.

But, back to point: sad to hear of Rick's passing. Like others, I'm glad I got to see them once in '94, even without the full line-up; it was truly an amazing concert/experience.

RIP Richard Wright.

I know this won't happen, but what would be nice is if the remaining three would get together and do 1 nice big concert as a fundraiser for whatever form of Cancer Wright had, or just cancer in general. they could raise a tremendous amount of money and give fans one very nice concert.
