Also saw Waters two years ago in NYC. They played the entire Dark Side of the Moon LP with Nick Mason, incredible.
Wife bought me
Pink Floyd - Inside Out for Christmas this year. Great book written by Mason from his perspective. By the time "The Wall" was being recorded, they were barely speaking to each other. Waters bascially wanted all the credit for song writing, which is why the album is credited to him and "performed by Pink Floyd". This made Gilmour so mad, he never got past it. Waters has tried to make amends, but Gilmour was the hold-out. I heard him interviewed on XM about playing/writing with Waters and he replied "I haven't heard anything he's done recently that is compelling enough to work with him". Ouch. Guess it will never happen now. Sad, in this retro crazy world, they could have made millions. But they could have also tainted the memory, who knows.
I do recommend the book if you are a fan.

Sad deal indeed, I never got to see Floyd in concert, did get to see Roger Waters tour last year. I always wondered what the falling out between Waters and Wright was all about.
Favorite Floyd song... Comfortably Numb.
