I was at the Wall show in Berlin's Olympiastadion (yes, THAT Olympic stadium) last week.

Stunning. Perfect weather, perfect acoustics, atmospheric venue, no queues, cheap beer, cheap grub.

I was also at the O2 gig when Gilmour played and although that was epic this blew it away in terms of scale.....no spoilers on the show though for those doing Wembley but you won't be disappointed.

Getting quite excited about Saturday night now. Going with a die hard Floyd fan (like me) who is super excited and a younger couple who I'm not sure appreciate Floyd in the same way. Got an email yesterday from one of the younger couple asking where (us old fogies) were thinking of standing as she wanted to be right down the front. I had to explain that it would probably be a bit better from a little distance and linked to a nice picture of the O2 stage completely obscured by the Wall. Besides, I said, RW is nothing to look at really, he was 70 last week.

At the Earls Court gig I was so far away I couldn't have told you how many people were on stage, let alone who was on stage, but the show was still incredible and goes down as one of my all time favourite gigs (up there with Mr Bowie at G2000). RW was 'good' at Glasto, just a shame he wasn't given the headliner slot, it would have been a much better show IMO.

Doubt I'll be able to make the Wetherspoons meet, will try, but I don't think we'll get to Wembley until about 6pm.

I am really looking forward to seeing this at Wembley on Saturday, although I am going to be quite away back from the Wall should still be a real spectacle. Also going to Paris the following Saturday for the final show of the tour (and more than likely ever) this time we will be standing, I couldn't resist it when the tickets went on per-sale, but I had to sell the idea of going to Paris to my misses as a romantic weekend away leaving it until she was happy with the idea before breaking the news that we would probably take the concert in while we were there :)

    • Skylink is 24 hours... But the skylink will drop you off at Pegasus business Park or EMA (East Midlands Airport) where you'll have to use the Download shuttle link, which isn't 24 hours. The last shuttle from the Download transport hub to EMA is 12:15 TrentBarton / Local bus info here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/download2026   Skylink Derby / Leicester / Loughborough timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/services/skylinkderby  Shuttle timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/userfiles/hotel.pdf If you miss the shuttle, which is very doubtful, you'll just have to find another way to EMA / Pegasus business park, maybe a taxi. You could even walk to EMA from the Download transport hub, wouldn't take too long. Just make sure you use the airport's 'circular path' instead of the dangerous roads.  I walk the circular path often, it's nice and easy. I would post instructions but I very much doubt you'll miss the shuttle, and if you do, it isn't hard to work out. The footpath is clearly signposted from directly opposite / across the road from where the download map has labelled "Pickup and Drop Off Exit." 
    • So for Harry Styles it was actually a plastic bag that basically blocks the view of the front and back cameras. You can still use the phone screen. It's much easier than using lockers, especially for people leaving for the last train etc    I think it's basically reliant on the threat of security kicking you out if you start filming.
    • Hey, does anybody have a joining link for the WhatsApp group plz? I know the secret sets get posted there but have a new phone and number
