Friday 1 September 2017


Earlier this week I went to the Pink Floyd exhibition at the V&A in London. Ever since their music has been playing in my head, so no prizes for guessing where were going this week.
I know we have had Pink Floyd previously (click here>) - and a no repeat policy was my intention, but we ARE talking Pink Floyd here.
The exhibition, which has had its run extended to October 15th, was brilliant, as it guided you through the years, album by album, in the company of an audio track from personal headphones. Giant inflatables, flying pigs, aeroplanes and massive stage set walls along with instruments, costumes and all manor of memorabilia were on show. 
Selecting a track for this Friday I had so many contenders that in the end I decided to go along with the exhibition. This ended in a large room, surrounded on four sides by giant scenes and this song. From the 1979 LP 'The Wall' and performed live in Hyde Park in 2005 - 'Comfortably Numb'.


If you'd like to "Fritter and waste a few more moments in a dull day" - this is the way >
Released in 2006 the dvd of the 'Pulse' concert from 1994 at Earl's Court has the most incredible lightshow. I'm not going to name the tracks, it's a surprise, just enjoy the show:
