...also nostalgia season. Roxy Music, minus original band member Brian Eno, should draw crowds with its reunion tour, the band's first live performances since 1983. Other acts on the road include Neil Young and Crazy Horse, the Beach Boys and Bill Wyman (without the Stones) and David Gilmour (without Pink Floyd.). Still other veteran artists mix longtime favorites with new chart-topping music. Madonna, Bon Jovi and U2 have all had huge hits in recent months, and all three have huge tours this summer, with Madonna's first tour in eight years kicking off in Barcelona on June...
BUILDING A BETTER BACKPACK INVENTORS: ED KOIS, DAVID GILMOUR, SCOTT CUMMINGS A few years ago, David Gilmour, 60, a patient with back problems, came to the office of physiatrist Ed Kois and told him he wanted to climb a mountain.

With Waters as its leader, Pink Floyd became famous for its surrealistic, multimedia concerts, culminating with the tour...
Four years later, Waters' decision to leave Pink Floyd triggered a battle over the legal rights to the group's name. Waters lost, and Gilmour, keyboardist Rick Wright and drummer Nick Mason carried on as Pink Floyd and released 1987's A Momentary Lapse of Reason, an album that managed to rehash the group's trademark sound. Waters, who feels betrayed by his old mates, still holds a grudge. Gilmour is more conciliatory. A sense of wounded wistfulness crops up repeatedly in The Division Bell. "So I open my door to my enemies," Gilmour laments on Lost for Words...
