warning : the following may contain lots of words , sentences with incorrect grammar spelling and punctuation - so if this infuriates you please leave AND refrain from commenting . i am a deeply flawed human being . i do not use a cell phone or own one , i tend to not be in a rush or hurry all of the time , i am handicapped and i sit at this terminal most of my life as i am suffer imobilizing chronic pain .
i know i sound like i am hostile , perhaps i am , i tend to attract verbal beat downs and troll attacks constantly when i am on line the amount of negativity i can generate is incredible .
Hello there , this is my first post . RW was my first concert , i had just lost my father , it was pros and cons tour in chicago on some black dove blotter . Since that incredibly moving experience where i was shaken to my core i have not missed a RW tour . things got pretty hairy on a 1/4 oz of shrooms at the kaos tour leading to recurring nuke nightmares i had for 15 years . i am a massive PF/RW/SB who also appreciates DG (especially on an island) from time to time when he isnt making himself look like a pompous asshole trillionaire nose in the air coke head . i am however "all good" with the band breaking up , i feel every thing went as it should of ideally giving us the competitive spirit , the material that exists , and also the live shows i was able to see . at the same turn i have extra empathy for RW as i feel he truly deserved to be the one selling out the arenas , as no matter how many killowatts of lights and laser you rent out , its NOT pink floyd , and technically it was not actually pink floyd since SYDS departure but i digress . as a fan who has digested all of the material , including the solo albums its tough for me to attend these events and hear comments as most people do not know much but there is always the one guy in the group who is the designated floyd guy but he tends to get a lot of his facts half correct and imaginatively fill in the blanks . not that i am a pro tech or expert , i pay attention , i have read a lot , and most of all i have a strong connection with the music , that over time i have to admit over doing it and NOT listening to any pink floyd unless it was on the radio post 1988 till present day . i simply wore all of it out . i still love it and revist some of it , but its often connected with so much emotional baggage that its tough for me . i was in the middle of absorbing the wall when my dad passed . talk about "perfect timing" ...
i am a bit older now , as i was 16 for my first show i do not carry on so much a few bottles of cider or a glass of wine here and there is typically more then enough for me as i have grown up quite a bit . i have broadened my musical horizons quite a bit , but i still hold this band in the highest esteem , even over the beatles . i mean come on , pink floyd is number one , lets face it .
i got pretty sick last year with panic attacks from some medication and it messed me up for a long time . thru that process i made a series of videos that i am fairly proud of called " acid casualties" although the name is more sensationalist . the SB episode now live on vimeo , but the peter greene , skip spence , rocky ericson , vince taylor are all alive and well on youtube . i am guessing that some of you maybe a few may have seen one of these things , but i also must say that series is over and done with - see episode six .
for the syd B episode i removed the comments and then removed the video as i could not take being attacked every day , the same thing kind of happened with the peter green episode as fans tend to not watch the video or at the first sentence were they disagree they lay into me and i don't play nice with youtube negativity when the person speaking does not have a single upload .
so thats me , HI ! hello to all

i am a huge fan of rogers work , i have consumed all of it , all of the solo albums pretty much , not that i know it all or am an expert i am just thrilled to be here as tonight we are going to us and them , me and my kid , i have cought every tour since pros and cons , and i was so lucky in that when he brought the wall out that was on my birthday so that was really cool coincidence . my birthday also lines up with a very extremely significant date in PF history but i dont like mentioning the exact day .

so ... the reason i am here . a while back , maybe last year i saw this video on youtube , it was two people , rogers age , they were friends of his , these two folks a man and a woman , nigel and jenny perhaps ? they reiterated this tale of their journey to the island of patmos with roger where he consumed lsd . their claim in this video was that at one point in the night , roger was seated and they were all speaking , asking him questions , when they asked him "do you want to be famous" he replierd " yes , yes i do . " at that moment a beam of light came thru the window and hit him square in the forehead . the folks who made this claim also mentioned they were not tripping or high at all . the island of Patmos , now i may be incorrect but they mentioned it was the island of " john of Revelations fame " so i seem to remember this detail but i could be incorrect on the actual island .
now i have snooped around with google and youtube search i simply can not find the video ... i have found references to RW / lsd / patmos , the scorpion under the bed and the new your traffic trip indecent as well but no " beam of light " .
this was one of those incredible stories that most folks would right off as horse pucky but if you watch this video these people are convinced they are telling the truth , it seemed legit and i simply have to find this video so i can show my kid . i was hoping to get this handled before the show tonight but ...
thanks in advance and i am NOT sorry if i type alot, i DO have bad grammar and punctuation , i could care less about that . if that angers you please do not ever click on anything associated with me . i speak and type a lot . folks that are in a huge hurry , do not assume i can respond or assist you quickly or by using emoticons , abbreviations hand signals semaphore or carrier pigeons .
ok go ahead and lay into me .
this is a music forum , so i know the drill .
