Another very interesting episode. Not a tour I know much about but it was interesting listening to David describe it from an insider's point of view. Great stuff, Nils, and thanks.

For somebody with a poor memory David was brilliant.
Well done again Nils !

Great job again Nils. As someone who attended this tour, I want to correct an impression many seem to have regarding the audiences during these shows (and was repeated by David during this podcast): In my opinion the vast majority of the people WERE there to see the band and enjoy the music but unfortunately with crowds of that size there were always a sizeable number who were more interested in shooting off fireworks and/or getting completely wasted and getting into fights, etc. which ruined the experience for everyone else. If you listen to recordings of that tour, you can hear noticeable booing every time a round of fireworks went off. Concert "etiquette" was very different in those days - it was expected that you sat down to watch the show once the music started (very different from say the 90's onward). Hence all the shouting of "sit down", etc.that one hears while listening to audience recordings from that time.

Thank you! I truly believe that 95% were real Pink Floyd fans but there were such crowds that the other 5% still were about 3.500+ people full of […]

Anyway, as i said in the podcast, Pink Floyd had been a part of the problem…

Best
Nils
