They showed ALL FOUR SONGS!!! Hello-oo! What did you all think the red button in the top right hand corner was for? Click on that and you could choose what concert you wished to watch and you could choose Berlin and see the whole set. Roxy arriving, then playing and then leaving the stage. As has been commented, the cameraman seems to have a thing for blondes and I did wonder if Phil had missed the coach. Then finally a shot that showed him there, also. Like Floyd and all the other grizzled dinosaurs reunited this year, they played 30-year old songs. Just that Ferry doesn't look anywhere near as grizzled as Dave Gilmour who is remarkably younger... Best wishes Richard Mills n/p Ben Folds - Songs For Silberman PS Many thanks to Stevie Wonder who dedicated his set to Luther Vandross and Obie Benson of the Four Tops, both of whom had passed away last Friday. RIP PPS However, SHAME on the BBC for censoring the public information videos introduced by Travis and Coldplay. Both lead vocalists warned people that the Beeb might cut to Jonathan Ross for more filler bollocks rather than deal with the issues, but the Beeb appeared not to care and cut away anyhow. BBC made so much capital for the corporation out of this Africa Summit, but it appears they don't wish to annoy their masters by giving viewers the stats and figures for fear of being criticised by the other lobby that would see it as rabble rousing against the world's Govts. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2005 17:33:20 +0200 From: Daniel Atterbom Subject: Re: [AVALON] Roxy at Berlin - BBC At 11.17 -0400 05-07-04, Chandla911@aol.com wrote: >Why are so many people under the impression that the BBC didn't show much of >Roxy?

A word about the BBC. No ads. I suspect our global community gets quite excited, not to say envious, when they read those two words. And Jonathon Ross was quite fun. And I think we'd got the message. And I think we don't need those "bed-wetters" from Coldplay and Travis to lecture us, do we?? Really? And lest we are rude about David Gilmour lets not forget that he gave heroic guitar support to Bryan 20 years ago at Wembley - what a band that day, Hubbard, Kamen and Gilmour. And Bryan never looked better, in my humble opinion. During Kamen's solo on Slave the cameraman zoomed in on Gilmour's axe, the Floyd genius had the charm to point the errant snapper to Chester's gyrations cross-stage. Class. A TV pal of mine asked DG around that time if he was likely to be doing more work with the Cool Ruler. "I'm afraid," Gilmour replied with a raised eyebrow, "Bryan, much as I love him, can't afford me!"
