I was said long ago by a long time Pink Floyd fan that a Waters concert was more PF than any Gilmour concert, and after see the two of them, I personally agree.
Gilmour is a fantastic guitarist and singer, but it looks like someone singing PF songs than PF himself. In the other hand, Waters looks like if the spirit of PF has possessed him.
I have to admit that I like more the Waters period of PF, the one of Dark side, Wish you and Animals, specially Animals.
I never had the chance to see Gilmour live, but after seeing his gigs on DVD I agree
Animals is my fav Floyd album, and as we said with Herlock, I think the fact is : floyd was at his best with Gilmour and Waters "together", even when they disagreed on some points
And yes the seventies is the "Waters era" but it would'nt had been what it is without Gilmour, and to a lesser extent without Wright
When I listen to Gilmour I have the sound, the voice, the orchestration, the ambiance, etc.. but it lacks the soul, the spirit, the genius
Yesterday I had this, but I missed Gilmour's sound and touch (both on guitar an vocal) to magnify Waters compositions
