RIP - Richard Wright (Pink Floyd)

[Trumpess]

Such sad news to hear this morning with the passing of Richard Wright, a co-founder of the absolutely fantastic rock group Pink Floyd.

Dark Side of the Moon was his trademark.

He will never be forgotten!

[NZsarge]

Rest in Peace.
Bummer!
Floyd rocks!

[MSTRS]

The unknown member. Mention the band members' names without association to PF and most people will know Gilmour, Waters, Mason and even Syd. But Klose and Wright...
Still, sad news.

RIP Mr Wright.

Ironic as I listen to "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" on Radio Hauraki !!

Pink Floyd rocks !!

["D" FZ1]

Shine on Richard. Thanks for the awesome music. I still listen to The Dark Side of the Moon all the time. Listening to Shine on you crazy diamond at the moment. One of my all time favourite songs. RIP.

I would imagine thee to be many a stereo blasting out Floyd today. Mine is one of them.

Its a double whammy for me.
Floyd is one of my loves in life, and my other I lost this morning as well. My Nan, bless her soul.

The day is beautiful, as the sun is out, the stereo is blaring and the burbon is running!

[Duke girl]

Out of all the concerts I have been to Pink Floyd would have to be to me 1 of the most spectacular and most memorable concerts to this day. Their music will live on forever and so will the memory of Richard Wright. RIP.

One of the all times best for the 'Floyd'....

Dark Side of the Moon has my vote for best ever album......

Dunno.....I was drunk at the time.....

R.I.P Richard one of the unsung geniuses of the best band in the world. Dark Side of the Moon was the album that really had the most profound affect upon me and I can still see me listening to it for the first time and being completely blown away. All lthough there had been an incident when I was about 3 when my dad was playing it to my gran through headphones and I turned the volume up full blast just as the intro to Time was playing. You would never guess I didn't really like ym gran much, nearly deafened her!! Still brings a smile to my face even now.

R.I.P. mate, your music will live on forever. :rockon:

A sad sad day indeed :weep:

R.I.P Rick :rockon:

At the age of 16 I had collected 20 Pink Floyd tapes & still to this day have almost all of their work, THE best band in the world, hands down. Ive been to an enormous amount of concerts spanning 34 years with some of the top names in music & would have to say the 1988 Pink Floyd concert at Western Springs was the best (Dire Straits in 1985 at Mount Smart an easy 2nd)



Music died some where around 1996 I think, the legends live on :headbang:
