    I’m going to see him at the Glasgow Hydro tomorrow.
    Going with my daughter while her man is at the cup final.
    Is anyone on the board attending either of those events?

    Will he be wearing his uniform, which went down so well in Germany recently? ;)

    I saw The Wall tour a few years back at AT&T Park in San Francisco. Very enjoyable.

    I thought he'd died then. Really remorseful about his best mate Syd.

    The Wall, as performed at Earls Court in 1980, was one of the best theatrical concerts I have ever seen. The music was brilliant but the whole staging of the event was fabulous. Perfect size for it, the Earls Court.

    This was my second Floyd concert, the first being Dark Side of the Moon just after it was released. This was Sheffield City Hall. Great memories :)

    I think he is more screwed up over the death of his father who he never got to know.
    He was killed in action while Roger was a baby.

    I saw the Floyd in 1974 at the Newcastle Odeon. They played most of the (not yet released) Wish You Were Here and Animals albums, the whole of Dark Side and finished with Echoes for the encore. Not a bad gig all in all......

    Yes, The Wall is quite autobiographical.

    And after you drew the curtains did you colour them in?

    True but he did only appear on the first couple of albums.
