OT - Music. Gigs. Sounds bought.

He played, guitar, bass guitar, piano. No rants as such, he did talk a lot about stuff, but not in a ranting way, more conversationally. He did express surprise about the fuss in Germany, given he has performed The wall there many times, including 1990 at a concert to commemorate the wall coming down. But as he said, if you dare criticise Israel for how it treats the Palestinians, one gets the full force of the Israeli lobby aimed at you.

But it was technically excellent, sound and visuals brilliant, and all in all a brilliant nights entertainment which was much appreciated by those who attended.

To my disgust I see Starmer has jumped on the band wagon, what an ignorant **** he is turning out to be.

Thanks, always interested to hear how the various Floydian factions are doing

Re Starmer, using one of my stock phrases, ‘I must have missed 60 Minutes’. Has he declared for Gilmour?

In a way, he has apparently written to the Jewish Board of Deputies saying that Waters is clearly anti Semitic - I mean I don't necessarily agree with all of Waters pronouncements, but he clearly is anti fascist and not in any way anti Semitic, now Starmer must one presumes have listened to The Wall? Does he even even realise there is an Israeli Floyd tribute band called Echoes that have played The Wall in its entirety complete with crossed hammer symbols and uniforms in Tel Aviv, with no comment!!

The issue is all about Waters supporting the cause of the Palestinians with the Israeli lobby applying pressure and Starmer like some kowtowing **** seems to have fallen into the trap!

I did like the announcement at the start of the gig "For those of you who like Pink Floyds music but don't like Roger's politics, now may be the time to **** off to bar"!

Anyone enjoying Download this eve? We’re 15 miles away and it’s a right old racket! As someone who spent many happy ****age evenings with my head stuck in some bass bin or other, I’m all for it.

Had fair few old mates in Burton commenting that they could hear it.

This is where the whole thing has gone totally pear shaped bonkers. Most Israelis aren't Semite or descendants of Semites. Many are of Eastern European origin and thus not Semite. Most Palestinians ARE Semite. How on earth can someone who openly supports the Semites of Palestine be anti-semitic?

He is anti the Israeli political stance towards the Palestinians. That is NOT anti-semitic.
