A MASSIVE thank you to Steely Dan and their production crew for offering members of the Scottish Pink Floyd tickets to their show at the SSE Hydro on Wednesday 20th February (which we gratefully accepted).
Steely Dan were rehearsing at the same studio complex as the Scottish Floyd when many of the crew got talking to our band, and happened to mention that they themselves were big Floyd fans.
When the day of the Steely Dan performance came around, members of the Scottish Floyd were delighted to be seated just 4 rows from the stage. We were recognised by a couple of the roadies who shouted: “Hey, it's Pink Floyd!” - probably to the confusion of the audience members around us.
Donald Fagan and the rest of the band put on great performances of classics such as ‘Rikki Don't Lose that Number’, ‘Dirty Work’ and ‘Reelin' in the Years’, with fantastic support from Steve Winwood.
Production Manager Chris Adamson stopped by to say ‘hello’ to the band today. Chris regularly keeps in touch with David, Roger and Nick and worked with them during ‘Meddle’ and ‘Dark Side of the Moon’. Chris felt particularly nostalgic listening to our version of Arnold Layne; praising our band as "bloody fantastic". Chris can be heard on ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ saying phrases such as: "I've been mad for f**king years, over the edge for yonks working with bands” (Speak to Me) and"Yeah absolutely in the right!" (Money).
Chris can be seen in the video (above) at 1min 45s, where he is being playfully teased by the Floyd. He told us that he continues to see the guys regularly whenever he's in town and plans on visiting Nick during the US leg of his ‘Saucerful of Secrets’ tour. We asked him to say ‘hello’ to Nick from us!
