29. Every time I saw them, I felt in the presence of God
Every concert was a deeply spiritual and religious experience.

No one does it like Floyd. NO ONE.

The Floyd were born of the universal aether to alight on this Earth and give us a gift from the very depth and beginnings of the cosmos itself and to reassure us that there is something beyond, something truly other beyond our facile ability to sense or comprehend.

They exist on a musical and performance plane that is so far above and removed from anyone else, it's not fair to the other groups to compare them.

I've been to a shitload of concerts, and seen most of the very best and most incredible musicians of classical and rock traditions; and I've seen some fucking amazing concerts. But Floyd's concerts stand so far above even the best of the others, that they can only be of something else.
