Rick Wright, RIP.

Rick Wright, keyboardist for Pink Floyd, died. That totally blows. He survived the Syd Barret insanity, the commercial highs of Wish You Were Here - Dark Side of the Moon - The Wall, got fired and had to play on contract for The Wall tour, and came back after Roger Waters' ugly split from the band. And in the middle of that, he wrote my single favorite Floyd tune, "The Great Gig in the Sky," from Dark Side. This is the live version from Versailles, 1988.
