  1. SPOILER ALERT Bassist Guy Pratt told us that during the 94 PF tour rehearsals Gilmour asked the band if there were any old PF songs they wanted to do. Immediately Guy said "The Nile Song!" to which a cringe-faced Gilmour told him he could kindly go find another band! And, as Guy puts it, that's exactly what he did! So Saucerful has done this one - as far as I know that's the only one from More but I have not reviewed every setlist.
  2. Interesting that you're a Waters-era Floyd fan, but not a fan of his solo material! I haven't listened to Pros&Cons or Radio KAOS in ages, but Amused to Death in my opinion is the best solo PF album of them all and it still finds its way into my rotation. For what it's worth, Rog is on record saying this is his farewell tour. Hit me up if you ever need a place to stay for a Red Rocks show, I'm only 15 minutes away.
  3. Definitely go see this if you are a Pink Floyd fan! In fact I recommend springing for good seats if you can. Gary Kemp is a wizard - he does a great job emulating PF sounds with whatever box he has attached to his guitar. They perform a lot more obscure material, which is great for diehard fans. I recommend not looking at setlists prior to your show to keep the surprise factor intact. Lots of fun, worth every penny imo. Roger Waters later this summer, Tedeschi Trucks Band x2 at Red Rocks, Umphrey's McGee x 2 Gov't Mule spring tour got postponed after Warren fell on his shoulder and fractured his scapula while on vacation in Costa Rica - ouch. All the summer dates are still intact though.
  4. I'm not exactly sure if you are talking about reading mock drafts done by media, or mock drafts where you play the GM. But I usually bang out 2 or 3 rounds once or twice per day on these sites just for fun: https://www.pff.com/draft/nfl-mock-draft-simulator https://thedraftnetwork.com/mock-draft-machine Since I don't play fantasy any more, I also have fun tiering the players. Once I get around 30, I know that at least 5 or more will be available at the Bills pick. It helps me to see trends. For example, if there is the expected run on CB's there will almost undoubtedly be a stud WR that falls, and vice versa. And if somehow all these CB's and WR's go, it's because one of those monster OL surprisingly didn't and that could be a huge opportunity for the Bills. I'm no expert for sure, and trades throw monkey wrenches in the whole thing, but I feel I have a better beat on things after doing these for a few weeks.
  5. oh so kinda like the speed limit. I gotcha
  6. I have Kaiir Elam or Roger McCreary. see no reason why Bills shouldn't stay at 25, somebody good is gonna fall
  7. USA TODAY NFL @usatodaynfl 6m The Seahawks will receive two first-round picks, two second-round selections, QB Drew Lock, TE Noah Fant and DL Shelby Harris. --- That is a king's ransom
  8. Buena Vista, Colorado ruffles a lot of feathers here since the town voted to pronounce their name "BEYOO-NA VIS-TA" instead of the traditional Spanish pronunciation.
  9. Lake Placid is a great place to visit to relive this memory. They have a museum at Herb Brooks Arena with the net that Eruzione scored into, as well as pucks and sticks from the game and a lot more Olympic memorabilia from both '32 and '80. Since the rink is still used today by the locals, we were able to sit on the players benches and also quietly sneak a visit into the locker rooms - both of which were original to 1980. You can still feel the excitement of that day in the air.
  10. wanted to share this, but didn't want to start a new thread so I dug up this old one https://www.vice.com/en/article/jgmbdg/scientists-make-breakthrough-in-warping-time-at-smallest-scale-ever
  11. I'm talking about playing regular season games in Europe, not against Europeans being Bills fans
  12. In a must-win game, if I get them in their prime I'd take Favre over Rodgers. Just my gut reaction after watching a lot of both of them.
  13. I went to Europe in 2014; wore my Bills hat and talked football with anyone who asked. The conversations primarily gravitated in 2 general directions: 1) How can we call it "Football" when it's not really about using our feet 2) It's too much like Rugby, which they already have, so why bother I was there several weeks before the World Cup, and there were already parties til all hours spilling into the streets. Trying to talk these folks into NFL football would be about as easy as, well, talking an American into liking pro soccer. There will be exceptions for sure, but on the whole it's never going to stick. My .02 anyway.
  14. why do we keep trying to cram NFL football down European throats? THEY DON'T CARE
  15. I'll be honest, I'm not excited about the orchestra thing. But FOMO will almost certainly lead me to buy a ticket for The Two anyway, as I am definitely a life long fan. I got to visit Beachy Head a few years ago, and Quadrophenia was on my mind the entire time I was there. So I'm guessing I will hit nostalgia overload during those songs. Along with Roger Waters, and Nick Mason whenever they reschedule their dates, this will comprise the geriatric part of my 2022 concert schedule
  16. You guys think you know bad pizza? Try Colorado where they slap this monstrosity in front of you, along with a squeeze bottle of honey to choke down that sahara desert they call a crust
  17. I see it's been renamed "13 Seconds Lounge" Have no mercy
  18. Great googly moogly
  19. Here are all the key words. You don't get one free down to tackle all their receivers. ARTICLE 3. INTENTIONAL FOULS TO MANIPULATE GAME CLOCK A team may not commit multiple fouls during the same down in an attempt to manipulate the game clock. Penalty: For multiple fouls to run off time from the game clock: Loss of 15 yards, and the game clock will be reset to where it was at the snap. After the penalty is enforced, the game clock will start on the next snap.
  20. I lived in KC for a year and I had more football related talks with Chiefs fans than I could possibly remember. They love to talk X's and O's that's for sure. These people take their professional family photos wearing Chiefs gear and they take their tailgating very seriously with preparations starting days prior (especially since the NFL started opening the lots only 4 hours prior to kickoff, which really cuts into meat smoking time!) I'm happy to hear the experience for our fans was predominantly positive because I gained a lot of respect for Chiefs fans during my time there.
  21. It's a penalty to commit multiple fouls in an effort to subvert the clock, and the refs will put the time back on the clock.
  22. page 69? hell yeah I gotta post
  23. It's not even halfway through January but I already have booked: 2 x Umphrey's McGee (1 x Red Rocks, 1 x Dillon Amphitheatre which is a spectacular newer Colorado venue) 2 x Tedeschi Trucks Band at Red Rocks Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets at Paramount Theatre Denver Roger Waters "This Is Not a Drill" at Ball Arena Denver Pretty insane that tickets are already on sale for these events so many months in advance but if you don't want to get gouged by the secondary market this is the only way to go
  24. I didn't like him on AFV but when he ended a show with "Honey I'm bringing Grandma home tonight, so break out the good weed" my respect for him definitely went up a few notches.
