Seeing as we all have to do it.
The tragedy is in not living.
Rick Wright, at least professionally, lived a full life.

I noticed the same thing, John.
But I also noticed that in the "behind-the-scenes" footage, he seemed to be very good-humoured and looked like he was genuinely having a good time.
I would assume that he'll also be on the forthcoming "Live in Gdansk" DVD, as it was part of the same tour.
"Great Gig In The Sky" was his composition . . . |
