London 2011

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)

- 12. May 2011 (section B3) -> it's this one!

- 14. May 2011 (section 112)

- 15. May 2011 (section A1)

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!!

Hey man! Was so random to bump into you at the show on Sunday! I was actually wondering if you were at that show, but realised it'd be impossible to spot you, then as I was leaving, there you were. Awesome show, awesome random handshake :P

Hey Mark. So sorry we didnt meet up. Hopefully there will be another opportunity someday. I'd love to go back. Thank you and you're more than welcome for the podcasts.

Really fed up to have missed you in the Pilot on Sunday. I was in the pub but didn't recognise you. I only found out you were there from meeting the great Glenn P last night by accident. (Can you pass on my e-mail address - didn't have chance last night). Anyway - I didn't get the chance to say Thank You in person for all you do, so I'm doing it now!

Hi Doc
So you were lucky to witness Davids guest appearance. Hope you can put your hand on a recording of that May 12th night and release it as a podcast, doctored up.
Have a good time and a safe trip back home from old England to New England.
Regards
Thomas

My eyes were still watering after Bring The Boys Back Home, so it took me about 15 seconds to realise it was DG atop the wall for CN. Well, I'm afraid I balled my eyes out - I couldn't help it. The only night I could make it to a show was THE night. Unbelievably lucky!!!

Doc - So. Dave shows up on the second night. A-MAZ-ING. OK he was a bit rusty, but what a show and what an appearance. Incredible. Can't wait for the recording. We caught C-Numb here, with the moment Dave appears (unannounced) so the few seconds it takes the crowd but then the audience flip out: http://thedarksideofthemoon.co.uk/2011/roger-waters-the-wall-david-gilmour/

What a night, AL

Has anyone noticed David messing up the lyrics just before the final guitar solo? Anyway, what an experience.

I blubbed when I saw the coverage on the BBC with David Gilmour ;-)

Hey Doc! We're so happy that you were there for "the night". Hope it was even better in person than we've been seeing online. Cheers buddy!

So. can you imagine Dave up there thinking, "Good Lord, What am I doing up here on top of this bloody wall again"?
What an awesome treat for you Doc, richly deserved.

Hey Doc, Hope you were suitably blown away last night. There was a fair amount of flubs, but it was still spine tingling nonetheless. Question for you, have you ever posted the Live 8 set on the blog? I couldn't find it. This would be a great time to throw it up there, with all of the 'momentarily back together' vibe in the air. What do you think?

Thanks,
pete

so good to see the dave clips popping up so fast. so glad you guys are there to enjoy. So good that the master is back at hand and all is right again with the world (and with that final note.)

Nothing can expressed how pleased i am to read comments about how David Gilmour finally did what he promised to do. Perform Comfortably Numb with Roger Waters on the 12th of May, 2011 :)

Gilmour and Mason... wow, "grumpy Roger" has gone.

Is it true the 74 Wembly show is going to be released with this new set of dics?

Hey, Doc, hope to make the pre show drink on the 12 May. Have a good visit to the UK!!

What Floyd related places are you hoping to catch? Sadly DG will not be appearing in London, as he will be at the Manchester show that I am going to. (well I hope he is)

See you there Doc! CAN'T WAIT! "I'll have a Babysham!" (Be prepared for lots more odd English humour)
posted by: BarryBURBs on 2011-05-06 19:55:55
@ Jason... Thanks! I'm more than ready to definitely see him. (aahem cough)

@ Michael... I will, thank you. After Denver and Chicago meet ups, I'll very much miss not having you and the others around in London but y'all be there in spirit. : )

Hey Matt, Have a Brilliant time. I wish I was there with you all.
