Its weird, Ireland are an English speaker country yet every artist ignores us, though it would be handy cause they could understand us unlike some place like Russia where they`ve played..

I saw them in Belfast last year (around April I think) and they were here again this year (again, I think it was March or April). I'm farely sure they went to Dublin as well (but don't quote me on that...they were definitely in Belfast).

I wasn't overly impressed. Don't get me wrong it was better than I could do...but when I think Floyd I think of a mind-blowing experience. The Oz show was a mere brain-fart. Mid-range PA...music was well done but the sound wasn't much beyond that of a pub band...and the vocals just weren't right.

In comparison, the Roger Waters show I saw a few years back WAS mind-blowing (and if it had included Gilmour, Mason and Wright I probably would have had an aneurism). The Austrlian show came a VERY distant second to the Waters show.
