Tonight's show was certainly a trip down the rabbit hole of nostalgia for me: I can't think how many hours I spent between 1976 and 1982 listening to early Pink Floyd in darkened rooms with my school pals. As such, except for the annoyance of folks not present to listen (where do they all come from?), the overall experience was a real delight.

As with Steve Hackett, I was especially happy to hear bass pedals: that visceral whump in the chest takes me back to concert-going in high school. How come modern bands don't use bass pedals?

Gotta remember for future reference that it's a bad idea to buy low seats there – too hard to see what's going on! Gotta go for 4th row bar stool seats instead!!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
