So, what was the set list ? Four songs from OAI were recorded : OAI, The Blue, Smile and Take a Breath...
I guess Take a Breath has been broadcasted (as we could see a excerpt on the web site) and OAI because it was the first single and his "hit".. but the third one ? Smile or The Blue ?

Take a Breath, Smile, and On An Island were broadcast.
Wasn't the most amazing broadcast ever, but was still better than a kick in the face, and some nice casual chat between songs.

Had quite a few good Gilmour moments this past year in one way or another, dating back to the Mermaid concert, a year ago this week if I remember correctly?

They may have used it - they didn't broadcast all of the songs that were recorded. Perhaps they will be an extra feature on his new live DVD...

Astronomy Domine was recorded also.

Other songs played on the day were impromptu versions of Echoes and The Stones Play With Fire.

I can't remember whether the cameras were rolling for Play With Fire or Echoes though.

One of the funniest bits that didn't make the cameras was Jon Carin playing an impromptu version of Astronomy Domine on an old keyboard at the back of the studio. Guy Pratt also strummed Money on a double bass before they played Smile.

Personally, I enjoyed Astronomy Domine out of all the songs played that day. This can be seen on the bonus DVD that was released recently.

No it's very cruel. If they need to kill the seals (I have never had the need to posess anything made of seal fur and for sure never will have unless I should be forced to move to a very very cold region close to the polar circle) they should at least shoot them. And that was very off topic.

That picture vaguely reminded me of a Punt and Dennis sketch in which Hugh Dennis chases a penguin with a chainsaw because it cannot fly, even though it has wings. Very amusing!

I was referring to the demonic smiley faces that seemed to be enjoying such a disgustingly barbaric event.

And Keith, I guess you mean "programme". British words may be spelt weirdly, but as a Brit (I guess) you must spell them right!! We don't want Popsicles and Aluminum running riot in the United Kingdom, now, do we!
