I can't believe anyone would actually laugh once they saw how serious it was.... as people must have been injured or died. They only got concerned when it was possible that they would get hurt themselves.
Yes mate he's gone to his inlaws which is about 10km away,problem there is what is in the air.apparently they had a favourite little coffee shop which was about 7.5km away from blast and all windows gone in there as well. His place was six rows back from blast but all doors etc off hinges and electrics hanging down etc.feel so bad for those in first two or three, no chance! It was pitch black and they were convinced it was a earthquake.
Ha.! Very good Fran. I'm having a bit of chocolate right now. I hear that saturated fat is now back on the this-isn't-as-bad-for-you-as-we-thought list. Polyunsaturates are becoming the devil's own droppings, from a career high which started out as angel's nectar, and monounsaturates are, once again, nature's gift in the form of olive oil.
By the way Roy, those of us who are not directly conversing with you are thinking of you and your lad in China. Just thought I'd say.
Just going back to music briefly - I was lucky enough to be at this show a few years back. People often ask what makes a guitarist "great", and also get confused between the technically great/fast (the likes of Van Halen or Yngwie Malmsteen or whatever) and the genuinely great. This performance is why this man is a great. Here's how you can fill all the emotion necessary just by playing one note. It's (in my opinion) as good as he's ever played this, and I'm not ashamed to say I had a little weep going on during this! PL - I know it's quite a long track (in fact it's not even the whole song) but please just give me 10 mins of your time and watch this. It's what separates the geniuses from the rest. Just *feel* the track. (For the musical aficionados, also contains Crosby & Nash on backing vox, Phil Manzanera from Roxy Music on rhythm guitar, Rick Wright on keys and Guy Pratt who has played for basically everyone on bass).
Well, I was just off to bed when I spotted this, and I just had to give it a blast. What a fabulous rendition of an all-time classic! You're absolutely right about David Gilmour's genius LTL, quite breathtakingly beautiful. Took me back to Knebworth in 1975 when the Floyd premiered the "Wish You Were Here" album and "Shine On..." was the opening number of the set. As I recall, coinciding with the drum build up to the first power chord, a Spitfire and a Hurricane flew from behind the trees on stage left, right over the stage at about 50 feet, and disappeared into the distance. How they choreographed it so perfectly I'll never know, and all this while the crowd was hearing what would become a rock classic for the first time. Later in the set they did the whole of "Dark Side of the Moon" as well, complete with a rocket ship which slid down a 150 foot wire and crashed into the back of the stage, right on cue. They have always known how to put on a spectacular show, but the music has always been the centrepiece. Legends, every one of them.
