    I heard the Pink Floyd play 'Arnold Layne' in Bristol, way back in1968. Syd Barrett was on stage, but it is entirely possible that Dave Gilmour was 'covering' for him in the wings.

    Good lightshow though.

    Yeah bet those early days were great. I saw them in 1980 at Earls Court playing The Wall for the first time. The experience has never diminished. No one in all the intervening years has come anywhere near close to that experience.

    You two are really lucky! I once managed to catch Live from Pompeii on Channel 4 once.

    Did you see this photo of me standing outside Earls Court waiting to go in. I am the one in the denim jacket!

To be fair they did a very good job and when they were on it they were very good. The girl who was backing singer was really the star of the show. Her rendition of "The great gig in the sky" was magnificent and probably as good as the original! This is a very difficult piece to sing and she was stunning.


    Anyway great night out and very entertaining. Good to see some live stuff although it was a tiny venue. When you hear amplified bass etc you realise your own system sounds like a tiny tranny radio!

    I'd rather see them in a small venue than the proper Pink Floyd in a large venue. Can't stand big gigs.

    I prefer listening to the CD than going to a stadium gig.

    I went to see Iron Maiden (my fave band) at Twickenham once, watched about 5 mins and spent the rest of the gig in the bar. It wasn't quite the Ruskin Arms.
