Remarkable!!
What a truly fantastic weekend, what a laugh!
I've just spent the last half hour cracking up over the on-going saga of this guy Steve G, what a guy.
Great stuff!

Hey All, David here, I thought the Glasgow gig was excellent, it was great playing Nobody Home with you Jer, I thought Two Lost Souls were really good and the two headlining tribute bands were excellent.
At times i was really stressed out as was stu, It really was a lot of hard work and i hope it hasn't put you off coming back to Glasgow Stu, but i think it was worth it in the end. I'd may be up for doing it all again next year as i have had people stop me in the street and ask when the next one will be!
Big thanks to all involved, it turned out bigger and better than i imagined!
It was a shame that in 8 hours and 9 acts, no one played another brick in the wall! the singalong to it at the end of the night was great though.
Did anyone notice half way through Dark Side of the Moon, The Wizard of OZ was playing on the screens around the club? Did anyone get the reference? heehee
Thanks again to everyone
David

Thanks for the great Sunday everyone! We had a blast, and it was nice to put a few faces to names!
I would like to appologise on behalf of the Killer Pylons for bringing a bad vibe about the Bass amp (basically we cannot be sure we destroyed it...!)
Hope that ampo gets fixed soon.
Also, thanks for Surrogate Joe for doing the sound, I really got a nice mix out my monitor, I could hear drums, bass, the works.
Sorry to the audience for having to tollerate the rubbish songs we did! We murdered our way through Nile Song, Money and Ibiza Bar with great abandone (and thanks for not applauding after Ibiza Bar! )
Also, thankyou to Roger for giving us much needed rhythmic support on 4 of the songs.. its a shame he pissed off before Interstellar because I Was going to announce him!

It was great!
Hi,
I am Joe from the Surrogate Pink Floyd's other half, I enjoyed the entire event, myself and best mate arrived at about 5:30 so saw most of the acts and everyone was very good.
Hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did, I was the one sitting just behind the wee roped off area for the sound dudes.
Hope to see all of you again.

Yep, its our very own David Bruce (db_intheflesh) and his buddy, they did the whole of the Wish you Were Here album arranged for 2 acoustic guitars, impressive stuff!ironbaden wrote:maybe a dumb question here but...are two lost souls a Duo?
Heres a snatch from Glasgow (oi, no sniggering at the back ), this is from the end of the night after the bands had finished, gives you an idea of the party atmosphere, if you look closely you can see the actual Stevie G from Darkside in the background!!

Not so much of a dumb question, seeing as we were very nearly a trio!ironbaden wrote:maybe a dumb question here but...are two lost souls a Duo?
Stu captured the audio straight from the soundboard, and between us we've captured 3 video angles so we should be able to put together a nice "best of" DVD package.FloydCouncil wrote:Dang! That sounds tasty Was it recorded?
Anyone get any decent photos? I've got some really blurred ones of Fat Old Man and Jer, and one of the Killer Pylons with Alan looking like the devil. Damn red-eye!

Sorry, I should have mentioned that this is just a small compressed file under 2 meg.FloydCouncil wrote:(I didn't check out the link... dialup ) I suggest a vine!

There will be a vine once its all pieced together. As David says, we had 3 cameras running plus there were some folks there that got some other bits n bobs so we have plenty to work with, theres also 2 audio recordings from the soundboard, made sure there was a backup this time! I'll incorporate what I can from Brighton too as we had some differesnt performers there, it'll most likely be a 2 discer.

I'm sure onstage destruction doesn't sound as good as it invariably looks.PublicImage wrote:I think you should give us a sneak preview of the audio recording..
"The Killer Pylons - Interstellar Overdrive.mp3"..
and hell, the crowd didn't clap after the 2nd last number, so I would have to have done something major.
heh, I suffer REALLY badly from red-eye, even the photoshop redeye removers suck at removing it!db_intheflesh wrote:and one of the Killer Pylons with Alan looking like the devil. Damn red-eye!
