Show #137 Release date: 12. July, 2009

For this installment, we go to Municipal Stadium, Cleveland, OH, 25. June 1977.  American shows in the summer of 1977 were particularly rowdy, but this recording is probably most notable for the numerous cries of “SIT DOWN!” throughout the show. Fortunately, the music on this release comes out on top for the majority of the show.  The occasional fireworks set off yet Roger manages to keep his cool during this performance but by this time in tour he was already becoming agitated by the carefree behaviour of these massive audiences.  Roger can be heard shouting “46" during Pigs (3 Different Ones) after the second verse, which is one of the identifiers for the concerts on this tour, however he must have lost count because this was actually the 47th show.

The podcast kicks off with Jeff Beck live, last week at the Royal Albert Hall with David Gilmour as surprise guest, performing Jerusalem.

Show #136 Release date: 30. June, 2009

Thank you so much for all the kind words.  My hearing is about 80% better.  It’s nice to hear somewhat in stereo again.  Now, while I’m still on the mend, here’s a neat little surprise I have for you.  I’m amazed that as soon as I step down for a brief moment, someone is ready to step up.  Brain Damaged listener, Luke of Cardiff, Wales put together something nifty I think you might like. 

Luke writes…
“I'm just finishing up a Pink Floyd mix I guess you'd call it...it's like an album length mix of songs, sounds, and other Floyd related stuff.  It's called Wish They Were Here: An Assorted Piece For Pink Floyd Lunatics. Don't know whether you'd be interested in hearing it?  I've looked through the archive and don't think you ever feature mixes or anything like that sent in or anything, but maybe it would be possible to give it a shoutout if people want to listen? I mainly made it for myself but would be cool if some other fans could enjoy it too”. 

Luke goes on to say, “It's just over 60 minutes, and has a few vague themes to it. Syd, being one of them. It's not even particularly a mix featuring all my favourite songs so much as songs that I really like that seemed to fit to make an interesting hour. Hope you have the time to check it out man, and maybe even mention it on your show if you like it”.

Luke, you did a nice job, so many thanks for this!  I’m sure it will be enjoyed by thousands and fetch many comments.
