The whole was always greater than the sum of the parts. Waters' work without Gilmour is as different as PF is w/o Roger. I have been far more interested in Waters' solo work than PF since he left, but there's still a lot missing.
I have an entire concert of "Pros and Cons" with Clapton playing guitar and even as much as THAT rules, I feel it would have been better with Gilmour's moods added to it. And... Andy Fairweather-Low, while technically sound, isn't even in the same ballpark.
Only that combination of guys is Pink Floyd and anything else should bear a different name.
If it matters, I've seen every Waters tour, but I only saw PF once after he left. That was more than enough.
