Brain Damage

Show #74 Release date: 9. December, 2006

This was one active year to say the least for Pink Floyd fans. This podcast is longer than most other "mix" podcasts but it was necessary to cover just about all the highlights from both David and Rogers' tours. There were many firsts and first time in a long time performances.

This will be the last podcast of 2006. So please enjoy this one many times during the holidays and New Year. With all the bad shit that's happened around the world, and saying goodbye to Syd, it's nice to have some Floyd from the year to look back on. Good times.

Hey Doc. Thanks a ton for all the good work you have been doing. Found this site a few days back and have been stuck. Happy holidays to you.

Great show as always. One thing, though. Leno is on the Tonight Show. Letterman does the Late Show.

Cheers Doc. Thanks for a great year dude. Can't wait to listen to this cast. Merry Christmas to all. Have a great NYE!

I am seeing Roger on Feb 1st and 2nd in Melbourne. Shit yeah! Rock on brothers and sisters.

Uhh, I think I said Rick's second verse of Comfortably Numb was bad. Sounded like he thought it was 1987 again.

Roger's intro of Wish You Were Here got me choked up. He expressed the sentiment perfectly.

And the NYC kids obviously had back up from Jon Carin and the other adults in the band in addition to the original backing tape which Roger never leaves home without.

Gratitude to the Doctor once again. I wonder how many of you could tell that a song like Perfect Sense was combined from at least 2 different recordings of the same show. That's the Doctor's skills at work, y'all.

See you in '07. Go Pats!
