I cannot put into words what joy I feel having just heard this via the YouTube link below. As you all are likely aware, I LIVE for music. And "Comfortably Numb" is likely my second favorite song of all time, right behind "Good Day for the Blues." Just wow. As I noted on FB, this brought tears of ECSTASTY to my eyes. Just amazing... absolutely AMAZING. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-rzbURbF8M" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...zbURbF8M</a>

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I have seen Floyd a few times, and they are indeed great. If I had known this was happening, I would have tried to go. Bummer.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo good point, we were at LEgoland celebrating Mikey's birthday for the weekend. Hmmmm. Oh well.

No more vacations for a couple of months for us.

Originally Posted By Mr X An unexpected perk that none of us were expecting, but given the circumstances it couldn't possibly have worked out better! See you on the 6th, man.
