Festive 50 1978 Part 2

[billfromnorthwales]

I remember he was the fist one to play "Another Brick in the Wall" 
single in 1979, though. That single famously got to #1

Almost certainly that would be the last time he played Floyd, I think.

Incidentally, great use of the word "seminal"

Although I still, even at this great age, laugh in a Beavis and 
Butthead way at the dual meaning of it.

1. pertaining to, containing, or consisting of semen.  
2. highly original and influencing the development of future events: 
a seminal artist; seminal ideas.
