\"Pink<\/a>After seeing Pink Floyd<\/em> live in Boston, I became somewhat obsessed. As you know, I had been a fan of Pink Floyd <\/em>music<\/em> since The Academy Days<\/em>. Now, I wanted to explore the rest of their albums.<\/p>\n

I also saw them live again in Chicago at Soldier Field. WXKE was having a concert bus trip. For $100 you got a ticket and a ride on big bus to and from the show. The $100 seems cheap compared to ticket prices these days. I would highly recommend this option.\u00a0 It was a great evening. Three buses left town in the afternoon and headed for Chicago. About halfway we got off the highway and pulled up to a little liquor store in the middle of nowhere. Three buses of Pink Floyd fans disembarked, formed a line and wiped out that little stores inventory of beer and more. I bet that was a record setting day for that little store. They never saw it coming and probably have this record on the books and still no idea why.<\/p>\n

The show was just as amazing. The changed the set list a little. They didn’t play Poles Apart<\/em> like they did in Boston. That was one of my favorites but it didn’t take away from the rest of the show. Another difference I noticed was that the lasers that were beaming into space around wide open Foxboro, were contained inside the stadium in downtown Chicago. I suppose they couldn’t have them shining into the neighboring buildings or the busy airports of the area.<\/p>\n

When the live CD, Pulse <\/em>came out, I was eager to check it out. I hoped that it would capture the shows I had seen. I must admit that I was a little disappointed. They did the entire Dark Side Of The Moon<\/em> as a big section of the show instead of the stuff we saw. Still they managed to include a lot of great songs but they skipped some good ones.<\/p>\n
