Show #167, Release date: 14. March, 2011 To my friends and listeners of Japan, My heart goes out to all of you. I feel great sadness after seeing all the devastation. If you can hear this podcast, I hope it will bring you some comfort and a little escape from it all, at least for a brief moment. For this, it's at the Budokan, Tokyo, Japan, 2. March, 1988. (I say the 4th in the podcast by mistake, sorry) We start things off with a live cut from Roger's last visit to New Zealand. As you may recall, they too had an earthquake recently. - Japanese Red Cross (highlight below to see setlist) Set 1:

- Hey Doc, i loved your podcasts for years now, i have just one request. Being an obese person, the t-shirts and other clothing items are to small for me. Is there any chance in the future that some of the designs appearing on baseball caps?
Thanks again for the thorough enjoyment you have given me. - Doc,
this is a rare occasion for me --found this one late. Thanks for the podcast, and for the spirit of human helpfullness << THAT too is Floyd/Gilmour/Waters tradition.
AND..i wnat to second young Upamanyu Acharya hope that you'll last "another 5 or 6 years" until he can drive a car, listen to your FloydPodCasts and date the prettiest girl in the city, explaining about his years of friendship with you and very welcomed membership in this Floyd Fan Community.!!! - Hey doc,
I'm Upa, from Mumbai in India. I've been listening to your podcasts for almost 2 years now. I discovered Pink Floyd when I was 11 and your podcast a year later.
It's really the best music ever created, according to me, and I'm sure according to you too. I've downloaded just about all your podcasts, but I've never actually had the guts to leave a comment, haha. I absolutely love all your work you do to keep the Floyd tradition alive, though if I had to name one I guess it would be podcast number 143, Recurring Dream.
Just wanted to say thank you for your awesome podcast, and I hope you'll keep it going for as long as you can. (Atleast for another 5 or 6 years so when I can drive a car, I can listen to your podcasts, get what I'm saying?) ;-)
Keep up the good work,
Upa. - Thanks Doc,
A poignant podcast.
I have a 23 year old son (and Floyd fan) who is a ballet dancer in Tokorozawa-shi just north of Tokyo. We are trying to sort out how to get him home now. England sadly has not yet been helpful.
So it seems to - be sort it ourselves.
Cheers as ever for the podcast.
- Doc, thanks for the helpful links you posted. It's quite a horrible mess here, yes, but on the positive side the authorities have been unexpectedly frank and to the point about what is going on. And the world at large has really stepped up to help in an almost unprecedented way. These two factors are going a LONG way in resolving the many diverse aspects of this disaster. Keep the positive energy flowing, folks, and we'll all get through this, humbled by Mother Nature but never broken.
- thanks doc for bringing it up here, music related sites or blogs I tend to visit seem to remain painfully silent about what's going on in japan, or have been in regard to the quake in nz all the same.
my thoughts and prayers go out to all people affected by the happenings. it's the most terrible thing that could happen to a society. watching it all from a distance makes it surreal for one, and incredibly hard to bear when you come to realize it's actually all very real. the nuclear component seems to alter thinking in some major nuclear countries in europe at least. if it all could ever have a "sensible" side to it, then it is a new thinking about what human kind needs and what unspekable danger we expose ourselves to by using nuclear energy.
damn, what can one say. I wish everyone all the strength and resilience they need to pull through that horrible, horrible disaster. - Doc, many thanks for your interest in Christchurch & kind words about my daughter (who lived through 22 Feb 2011) in your recent emails. Christchurch was bad but Sendai was horrendous. We thank you for your support of all the victims and survivors (whose life will never be the same).
- doc, you definitely have a great heart. i think all of pink floyd fans do. the compassion tones and lyrics of pink floyd music, just about life's situations, give us caring and positive feelings inside, when you really listen to the lyrics.
as always ,doc, thankyou, but most of all, thankyou for those links ,that you put up. alot of us dont know how or where to send our contributions. thankyou for putting that up.
my heart goes out to all of you in japan. not only did it effect you the most, but it effected ,the whole world.our prayers and thoughts ,go out to all of you, in your most desperate times. keep the faith, believe that it will get better. keep positive.may God bless all of you,in japan.
(sorry doc, but thankyou for letting me say this tonight)
thumbs way up high!
