I begged a kind friend with Foxtel to tape it for me. We gambled on a 4am (Melbourne time) start for the 4hr tape to capture Floyd before the scheduled 7:30am finish, allowing for 30 mins overrun... hadn't counted on 2 HOURS EXTRA so the tape stopped at 8am, with Floyd coming on around 8:40am or so. Gotta hate that huh?

I did catch it "live" on the radio though, but on the crappy portable unit I couldn't make out the dedication clearly, but thought I heard Rog mention "Syd". Thought Syd preferred to be called "Roger" these days - though that would have confused the crowd even further!!!

I can't believe how I sobbed with tears of joy into my pillow upon hearing those tunes on the crappy radio. I got teary during Money, but I wept uncontrollably through Wish You Were Here and Comfortably Numb. These 4 guys were such a strong influence on my growing up and to hear them together after 24 years apart was just too much.

Tears burn my eyes.

Cheers, Dish.
