Show #170, Release date: 22. May, 2011

In keeping with the tradition of featuring a Wall gig for every city I've seen it in, as promised, here's the big show from London.  This was my ninth time seeing The Wall and by far the most special.  It was the night David Gilmour returned the favor to Roger.  As things would have it, Nick Mason was also there and joined in.  The surviving members of Pink Floyd, reunited on stage for the first time since Live8.  It was amazing!  Roger and the band sounded tight and the sound is incredable!  I had an excellent location to record from and I'm pleased to present it to you.

Live at the O2 Arena, London, U.K., 12. May 2011.  With Special guests... David Gilmour and Nick Mason!

A huge special thanks to Jeff (aka Ravingandrooling) for lending me his recording gear.  Photo taken from my seat with an iPhone3Gs.  Section B3, Row A, Seat 50

Show #169, Release date: 19. May, 2011

Fresh on the heels of my trip to the U.K., heres the latest podcast.  This was sort of an experiment by doing a few breaks (voicing) on the road from various Floyd related locations in London and Cambridge.  There are a few kinks I'll need to work out if I decide to do another location podcast (my shyness being one of them) but all in all... it came out well. 

I had an amazing time and especially enjoyed meeting so many long time listeners for the first time.  Oh and as usual now, highlight below if you want to see the playlist.  Enjoy and please mind the gap!

Hey there!  Well, it's less than a week away before I jet off to the U.K.  The next podcast is lined up and ready for commentary from London and Cambridge as I visit some notable Floyd sites.  It's going to be very cool indeed.  I also hope to have the mic rolling before and during and after The Wall shows at London's O2. 

I'll be attending the following nights at the O2

- 11. May 2011 (section B1)

Good friend of the podcast, Simon Wimpenny keeps an excellent blog about his travels and meeting people while following Roger and the band across Europe.  His site provides the following link with details on where countless Floyd fans will be meeting up for pre show drinks and good times!  It's close to the venue and I Hope to see you there!!
