no point in a petition, i'm sure they are well aware that stuff like that
would be snapped up by the fans, but they want high quality releases so as
not to disspoint. they don't need the money, so no need to cash in (to the
dissapointment of emi shareholders). it's taken them long enough to put out
pulse, they still haven't put a load of the official vhs releases onto dvd
yet, i'm sure that will come long before anything new

i was at live aid, so my floyd live experience was fulfilled. i was a bit
too young in 1980 to see them then, and the band that toured in the 80s and
90s wasn't pink floyd to me
