I wonder what you would get if you put the working title of this post in Chat GT or whatever the AI is.
But, in the real world it equated to a great night out with Dale who is a long time bestie and someone with whom yours truly has in a previous life house shared and had some utterly unbelievable adventures.
Which is why, after checking the local landmark of a Duplo Lego life size Giraffe with sensible do not climb stickers on it, we could be found in seats 5 and 6 or Row X in the stalls of the Birmingham Symphony Hall.
Where we had a fantastic view of The Australian Pink Floyd Show. Now, having seen the real deal in 1998 at Wembly, the former Wembly not the new build ersatz Wembly, no band is ever, ever going to top the lights and sounds of the real Pink Floyd. However, TAPFS do a pretty good job with some funny bits added.
This is why the cross hammers logo from The Wall album is replaced by Skippy
on the big screen at the back of the stage synonymous with Pink Floyd shows.
The giant inflatable pig is a large pink kangaroo, obviously.
The sound was amazing and given the elderly population of the audience must have shorted out many hearing aids.
The finale, the shiny disco glitter ball still has the wow factor no matter how many times you see it as the guitars of Comfortably Numb soundwave that just blows you away.
It was a great gig.
So great that we are already planning to see them again in 2025, this time with the apprentice who came to see them when he was 7.
Back outside we searched for food and found The Black Sabbath bridge and a street food vendor selling very tasty chicken fajitas.
Finding our way back to the car via the Lego Giraffe we paused to finish the spicy poultry feast when the quote of the evening was issued by Dale. Between mouthfuls, back to the Giraffe he pointed and asked if that was a Lego Tank.
No Dale... thats a skip.
No drugs or alcohol were harmed in the making of this post.
