Old Fart’s Night Out


Captain Colonial

Recommended Posts

A couple of weeks ago, I drove down to Guildford to go watch

For the Philistines in the room, Nick Mason is the drummer from Pink Floyd.  The tour is performing a lot of early Pink Floyd pre-DSotM songs and the band includes Gary Kemp (from Spandeau Ballet) and Guy Pratt.

 

Anyway, great night out and tickets still available, I believe Manchester next on Saturday.  My ears were ringing for two days afterwards - result:

One of the interesting things about the evening (besides Nick Mason still being brilliant at age 78) was the crowd standing at the front.  Most of them were in their 70s, 80s, and a few in their 90s, all with silver / white hair and definitely having a blast.  😎

 

Just shows that age is only a number 👍

There's been many times I've been 'moshing in the pit', then look around and think "bye 'eck, I could be their grandfather!!!!"

After seeing this I managed to get tickets for Sunday night in Plymouth. A great  night with a lot of Sid's early stuff.

Didn't know he was touring again, fantastic! 
I was lucky enough to see Floyd 3 times in one week, Bath and West Showground on a Sunday, BBC In Concert on Wednesday and Hyde Park on Saturday, didn't pay for any of them.

I consider you to be a good person and a fine club member, so I'm sure you won't take this the wrong way...
