Pink Floyd on at 10:30pm last night..............*Jason in local pub The Derby watching "buzzard" a rock/blues band from Huddersfield*........they had just finished their first set and then they put the big screen on and who should come on but Jason's heroes Pink Floyd with Roger Waters........absolute Fu**ing fantastic..........everyone in pub singing to Comfortably numb.
What a great night!!!!!!

Overall there were some good artists and some bad artists.........why the Pet shop boys were in Moscow is beyond me,they should have been in London!!!

Oh yes i have an hangover as well.lol

I watched it off and on yesturday! I'm sad to say that deep down I think it will be the same old story in the next twenty years! but I hope I'm wrong!
The high light was Robbie and REM,Velvet Revolver were rubbish and just looked like a bunch of blokes you'll find being kicked out of a nightclub at 3am! could they not get a better band to represent heavy rock? and Mariah Carey was naff as well.
But all in all they did their best lets just hope it does some good. but I'm not holding my breath!
