I remember an outdoor Dead show once where they piped Meddle over the PA before the show. I swear the actual wind was synchronized with the wind sounds at the beginning of One of These Days. (LSD not required, but present that day) 
Normal tuning for a six string guitar is E-A-D-G-B-E, Waters tuned his guitar to G-G-D-G-B-B for this song. That's what produces the background drone as he strums the open strings along with playing the melody.
Excellent tune from an excellent album! 
This one time, years ago, I was for a walk in the woods. I just happened to have Fearless stuck in my head. It was very firmly stuck. And the woods were a wonderland.
Closest thing to a religious experience I will ever have. And there is no more doom-laden song ever than that one.
ETA: It's probably just as well that this was the last song on the last Floyd album. Such an aching sense of the lost past and better days. And it just hits harder and harder as you get older:
...sadly, a great local small chain shop that has been out of business for quite a while. They sold to an investor, a couple of the original owners stayed on as staff, this guy had a ton of money but not a lick of business sense when it came to running a successful store, and the guys who stayed on did so without their hearts being in it.
At the time of "Division Bell," the store was riding high with the original owners. They had a "midnight sale" of the CD and I was one of the people who stood in line for it. "High Hopes" tore the top off of my head. I enjoyed "Sorrow" from "Momentary Lapse," but I think "High Hopes" is superior both in songwriting and performance.
I understand the concept behind "Endless River" and wanting to pay a final tribute to Rick Wright with unused bits from the Division Bell sessions, but I do consider Division Bell to be the last Floyd album. Endless River is a "project," I don't know what else to call it, but I listened to it once, put it away, and that was that.
Luke Manley and Bea Lam, the owners of VTL electronics (makers, IMO, of the finest audio amplifiers in the known universe). Visited them a few years ago. Nice town. They took me to Yoshi's one night.
Though I prefer the Ummagumma version better, this video is Floydgasmic.
Green is the color has always been one of my fave's too.
+ about 25 other tunes.
No words whatsoever for that.
