I was there too .
But I don't recall any of this , only the pig .

I was there three...first time i saw floyd, I'm now up to four plus DG at the royal festival hall. All have been unforgettable.
Think i'll have to catch the o2 dublin gig as i'm sure i'll be in NL 12 days after the Arnhem gig.
On a side note, i'm off to Rhodes a the end of the month, a place called Lindos. Went there last year and fell in love with the place. Made good friends with a guy working at the beach cafe we used daily, and during a chat about music he tells me that Dave Gilmour (the reason i first picked up a guitar) was close friends with his boss, and has a house here. In fact, his kids were over a few weeks earlier. Apparently, floyd had been coming here since the 70s/80s.
Maybe one day i'll meet the great man, who knows...

Did you go to Earls Court ?
That was wild as well , Indoor with a quad sound system .
AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!

yeah, earls court oct 94, a few days after the seating collapsed. Off my fuckin face, i was.
Some venue that, doesn't look big enough from outside. I mean, it's big, but then you get indoors and across to the big black curtain, then thru that and.... wow.
Did you notice the green VW golf they were raffling? Division Bell logos all over it. Wonder which lucky fucker got that!

Did not , though I did notice a big dude wearing a pink tutu dancing in the in the aisles before it started !

Can you remember what night you were there?
We went sunday 23rd.

We were there the last night of the Earls court residence .
Speaking of the night the seating collapsed .
I had friends there who lets just say were well wrecked , and for a split second they thought it was part of the special effects .
I kid you not !

So nobodys going then ?
Shame .

I have row 29 floor center for our group for the Vancouver show.
Should be pretty epic.
All the Floyd boys seem to really turn it up a notch in Canada, they really love it up here.

I'm heading to NL for it , can't think of a better place to see The Wall .

I'm gonna try get tickets for this in the Arnhem Gelredome , think it may be a classic.
Has anyone had any experience of Arnhem or indeed the venue.
Been to Dam a load of times , but don't know to much about Arnhem .

I'm in! Have tickets for both nights, it'll be my first trip to NL.

I was doing a little research for the trip and found this forum a nice find.

Already have my tickets for 23/5/11 at the o2 in Dublin

Any other Irish(or any other) stoner's gonna be there??
