Interesting to read if you're an old line rock fan like me

Very interesting Dan.  Why doesn't it happen in the UK?  ;D

Actually - a very interesting insight, especially about the audience mix.  I'll have a scout around the DeMontfort Hall in Leicester when the Aussies play a week on Sunday (19th).  Leicester is one of the UK's most ethnically diverse Cities and it will be interesting to see the mix of attendees

Which One's Pink? fan base has a huge proportion of Latinos -- Pink Floyd is one of the most popular English speaking bands in Latin America.  There are relatively few African Americans in the crowd but there are a few.  A couple of our African American fans with whom I've spoken come to the band from the blues angle.  I know that Wycliff Jean covered Wish You Were Here so I think he must be a Floyd fan.  Otherwise, I don't know why Floyd is not that popular with that community

Hey guys, I was actually in the band that played the show in question. We were called "Pigs on the Wing" and it was gathering of local musicians for a short string of shows in the South Eastern USA. This particular blog bothered me greatly due to the complete inaccuracies. I don't want to get into it too much, but please let point out 2 of the guys in the band were non-whites. Not to mention quite a few members of the audience, whom I know by name because I also play in a hip hop group, who were in attendance. Clearly, this kid had a bone to pick.

Decide for yourselves. Let me know what you think. It was a blast!

Thanks for the clarification hazmatt.  Please keep us posted (here and on Pink Floyd Online) of any future gigs you guys have.  My brother lives in Athens so I'd like to send him the next time you play there!  W1P

Sounds good. I really like your version of Pigs!
