Hi all,

Sorry if this is answered somewhere else (I've looked but can't find anything.)  Does anyone know what the story is about Jamie Humphries leaving the US show? From what I've read on his MySpace blog, it sounds pretty serious?  That's too bad.  Any idea who will replace him?

Thanks for your time.

  Time for a re think....


Well following the disasterous Flashback Tour I have been replacd on the Aussie Floyd tour this year...not to say i am not gutted,,,I have lost a huge anount of finances betwen both tours, as well as experiencing things on  a massive level personally...THE QUESTION IS WHAT NOW?...I really am at a Crossroads, and need to make so descitions about my future with in this cut throat back stabbing and lie infested industry...two things I have learned, better the devil you know, and remember there is always someone waiting to jump into your shoes...take head my friends...i gonna hang up those musicmans for a while and have some reflective time about just how shitty 2008...and what my future hold as a musician...i wanna thank you all for visiting my page and your kind words and about my shows...you make it worth while...but certain people inspire you more...take care jamie x

So who is the 2nd guitar?

Bobby Harrison is continuing with the tour.

Jamie appears to be rather upset ? Such a shame.
              I see no reason to speculate about the whys and wherefores in this situation as no useful purpose will be served ?
      I can though hope that 2009 turns out to be much more fulfilling and enjoyable year for him .
    After reading most favourable reviews about his playing with the band I feel a bit let down that I haven't had the opportunity to see him myself.

Just visited Jamie Humphries MySpace site again.  NOW that latest blog entry has been removed.  I wonder if they made some sort amends?  I can understand what you're saying about how knowing the situation won't help, but it be nice to know what happened for curiosity's sake.  (And if it's something personal, and not meant for public knowledge, I totally understand.)

Thanks for you responses everyone.

Such a shame.  :-\

I think Jamie Humphries is one of the greatest guitarists of all time despite the fact that not that many people would know his name.  :'(

Now it seems I'll never get the chance to see him live.  I'll just have to rely on YouTube.  :
