O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, Friday 19th November

After all the places we've travelled, London seemed really close by!! We got there with plenty of time so Fredi went shopping in Westfield shopping centre which was literally down the road.
Here we are on the listings outside of building.
We saw Jason again, it's been so long! He came to do our lights, Paul G came too so it was nice to see familiar faces who've been on this journey with us at some point.

So many lights the drum kit has disappeared into a puff of smoke!

Jason getting to grips with their lighting board.

Stage looks small from here! It wasn't huge but wasn't tiny either..
Fredi and two blokes, Ben and something that rhymes with Ben? Len? that doesn't seem right, i'll consult Fredi. ( In fact it was 'Ken' - thanks for the comment putting me straight! )




It's a proper old theatre with the ghosts of stars past at every turn, the walls back stage are covered in posters of people who've played there, I liked the Alanis Morrisette one especially as I grew up listening to her.



Not a fancy backstage at all, i've heard that all west end theatres are pretty grotty backstage.


Our dressing room was up 3 flights of stairs! what's that all about?

The crowd was fantastic, true floyd fans, they cheered at the first notes of most songs! I got the triple applause for great gig, ie applause in between the three sections. One guy in crowd looked like he was having an out of body experience, as if he were a teenage girl and we were the Beatles! Hilarious!

The super view from the stage, and the screen in pieces.

  1. It's 'Ken' not 'Len' who is in the photo with 'Ben'. From Sven ;)
