Goodbye.] [AUDIENCE: We want more! More! More! More! More! More! ...] >< [ANNOUNCER: One, two.] [ROGER: One. Oooo-kay. One.] [ANNOUNCER: My mic's just gone off.] [ROGER: Gone off.] Embryo [AUDIENCE: We want more. We want more. We want more...] [ANNOUNCER: Ah..ehh. if you'd like to help us, unfortunately The Floyd has to catch a plane, ah... they'd really like to go on all night. Haha. But, it would be really, really nice if you could just thank them one more time for getting through it, through such difficulties, 'cos it really was very very difficult. Eh, and also, some people I'd like you to thank is their amazing road crew who've managed to keep all the wires intact throughout rainstorms throughout the whole day, that's the Floyd's road crew. Let's have a round of applause for them because they've been wonderful. That unfortunately winds it up. I'd like to thank the organisers and you especially, for sitting through all the rain. We hope we'll be back here soon. Thank you and good [...] to you all.] [ANNOUNCER: Oh before you go, before you go, hang on, don't rush. Ah, if you dig this place we had it here today it would be nice if each one of you could pick up one piece or litter or maybe two. And maybe we could help to keep it nice and clean and spotless as it were when we arrived. If each person could just pick up one piece of litter, [...] some litter counciousness. Thank you.] Other comments: The show, which took place at Het Amsterdamse Bos, a forest near Amsterdam, was blighted with rain, which caused all but the foreign bands' performances to be cancelled. Perhaps prophetically, the rain only stopped just as the Floyd took the stage. The band were supported by America and Pearls Before Swine. Review: |
