Gigs

Odd to me, that. I respect Gary Kemp as a songwriter but he's not a guitar player of particular renown so why's he doing that? A bit like Neil Finn being in Fleetwood Mac.

Early Floyd doesn't really require the kind of player that post Dark Side would require?

Early Floyd doesn't really have any distinctive guitar sound.

[Slim]

I didn't know it was only early Floyd actually but if anything that just makes it more odd. Why is a household name pop star with no particular connection to Pink Floyd doing a job that a competent unknown could do just as well?

I beg to differ, Syd had a very Syd sound, and after Syd we get David "Don't call me Dave" Gilmour and his signature style in at least embryonic mode.

Because he's a big fan of early Floyd. He's probably mates with Guy Pratt too. Might well be mates with Lee Harris too, the man who brought Saucerful of Secrets into existence. Oh, he's got a Bike - or n+1 - too.

IMHO you won't see a better show than this, worth it for Vegetable Man

Jealous of you guys, the South west is a virtual gig wasteland. Very few bands travel past Bristol.

I know Nick, a real pain for you in that neck of the woods 😞

Even here in Liverpool, we're left off gig itineraries more often than not, meaning I'm usually travelling to Manchester or beyond

Nine Inch Nails at the Eden project?  That is a monstrous journey for me, with lots of logistical issues, but fuck it...

i saw Eric Clapton playing with Roger about 38 years ago. He played the rhythm and arpeggio parts spot on, but he improvised some of the solos. I don't really like Eric's sense of improvisation outside the Blues.

I agree, there is a clip of EC playing with Hawkwind awful. John Etheridge playing with hawkwind are a couple made in heaven. I miss Huw Lloyd Langton
