Subject: Question for the Ladies - by: Joe_D

I attended my first Brit Floyd concert a couple weeks ago and it was one of the best concerts that I have ever seen. The guys concentrate on their music and are not overly active. There is no running around the stage or back flip gimmicks off a drum riser. With the young ladies it is a different story. They never stop moving while onstage.

I've watched the concert DVD more than a hundred times and never really thought about the choreography involved with the back-up singers until I saw them live. I was amazed to see how active they were during the 2-1/2 hour plus show that I attended. I would be interested to know how much choreography preparation time the ladies have to go through to get ready for a Brit Floyd show. Is the choreography something that is put together in a week or two and evolves as the tour progresses, or do they practice for months. Is one person responsible for choreographing the show or is it a colaberative effort?

Thought it might be fun (and interesting) to ask some general questions of what being in a rock and roll band is like....

1. What type music do you play during sound checks?

2. What is a typical day of a show like (schedule, etc.)?

3. When you take an intermission, do you guys go back to the bus or what do you do?

4. After the show and autographs, how easy is to decompress? How soon after a show are you back on the bus heading to the next town?

5. I'm a people person, but I love my privacy too. Does touring leave you any free time to yourselves?

6. Do bands like Brit Floyd own their stage equipment or do you bands rent lighting and P.A. equipment?

7. Any funny stories from being on stage?

8. How big of a crew does it take to keep Brit Floyd on the road?

9. Is there any chance of the band doing another DVD (blueray maybe?) of the 2013 show or of other songs NOT included on the 2011 Liverpool DVD? Note: I would buy it in a heartbeat!

10. I heard where Rod Stewart is an avid model railroader and works on them on tour. What kind of cool hobbies do the members of Brit Floyd have?

Thanks for your time. Brit Floyd has become my favorite band... rock on dudes!

So I don't know who can answer this question, but my wife, I, and 2 sons (Jake, 14, and Aaron, 12 - both huge Floyd fans and wearing Floyd shirts) arrived at the 4/9/2013 Reading Show about 2 hours early, intentionally, so we could go find something to eat. The streets were relatively empty, with the office workers all gone for the day, and some of the smaller sandwich and pizza shops were closed (apparently only open for lunch).

We're wandering aimlessly, searching for the nearest food joint on our phones, and came across what appeared to be a couple doing the same thing. And by couple, I mean a guy, and a gal, walking together. Whether married, or just friends or acquaintances, I have no idea. It's not like I as strangers those types of questions.

We struck up some conversation, and talked small talk, including my families love of Pink Floyd (I brainwashed my boys), and of our interest to see Brit Floyd for the first time. We all walked to a local establishment nearby, and went our separate ways, although sitting in close proximity. The "guy" had a look of familiarity to me, but I didn't think anything of it. I mean really, how many people does one see in life where they think they recognize someone, then simply move on?

Anyway, later in the evening, my younger son tells me that while we were walking, the woman (blond, and friendly enough) told him that she pointed to the guy and told him he was part of the band. I asked him twice if he was sure, and he was annoyed that I did so. Then it occurred to me - could it have been Ian? I mean, I guess the guy sort of looked like videos I've seen of him, but I wasn't really staring him down or anything - why would I. So, is there any way to find out? And if so, give him a hello, and the message that we were all indeed incredibly impressed with the show. And if it wasn't him, or someone else involved with the band, then I don't know what to think. I don't think my son would have made up that story - he just doesn't do that. Luckily, I don't think any of us made an ass out of ourselves, one way or the other.

In any event, GREAT, GREAT Show. Jake's favorite song was Take it Back, and Aaron's was Comfortably Numb. Good boys. Thanks for coming to Reading, PA!

Pumped for the Show. But have a question. Do we know if the Stage at this venue is big enough to handle the "bigger" show. I hope so but chomping at the bit to know if we will see the staging as it was in Montreal and Quebec City or as it was at the Sherbrooke show? Thanks..

Brit Floyd,

I wanted to thank you all for including the Southeast US in your 2013 PULSE tour.

In 1994 I was planning to attend the Pink Floyd Division Bell tour in Atlanta. I had missed their April 1988 concert when I lived in Arizona.

In 1994 I had been married for four years, expecting my first child, and had the financial means to attend the event. However, this was not to be. A very close family member was diagnosed with a terminal disease. Needless to say concert going plans were put on the back burner during this trying time.

In December 1994 my mother passed away from lung cancer.

Missing the 1994 concert was something I have always regretted.

When I saw your show coming to Birmingham, AL in April, I could not believe my luck! I immediately jumped on the opportunity to buy two tickets.

This upcoming show will help put this regret behind me and close that painful period of my life.

Thank you guys for this opportunity and I will see you April 26!

I watched Pink Floyd perform in Vancouver on the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour in 1987. I will be at the Chicago performance of Brit Floyd so I was wondering if you perform any of that album in your 3-hour show?

Caught the show in Detroit last night, was great. Was wondering if there is a chance you'll be returning to the area on this tour? Either Detroit Michigan area or Windsor or London Ontario area? We would love to come and see the show again, maybe even at a bigger venue if possible. Had some obstructions from the lighting rig as we were in the balcony. Would like the opportunity to see it again from some better seating and would love to hear you guys perform some of the other greats from Meddle, DSOTM, Animals, etc.. Thanks for the great evening. The wife loved it too, was one of the best anniversaries we've had. Please let us know if you'll be back again. Thanks for the great time and we hope to see you again really soon.

Subject: Whats going on with the Tickets sales ?!? - by: leafs264

I bought tickets for the March 24th show in Hamilton, Ontario 2 weeks ago. At that time, the only seats available were at the very back (lower lever) last row.

Today there is a ton of available seats close to the Front. What is going on here???
