Hey FED,

David: Maybe I should start thinking about insulating the barn roof…
Congrats on the well deserved award and have a great Birthday tomorrow from one Libra to another.
Cheers, Howard
My Dream jamming session!

Caption competition:
Richard and Guy are still unaware as David and Steve see a pig floating by……
Caption:
The band is doing a run through of This Heaven, totally oblivious to the fact that a pack of rare British Anacondas, attracted by the music, has slithered into the barn.
*Concerned about the impending winter and bare ceiling, David channels the great Carol King and rehearses his new hit single, “In-su-late”
“Insulate baby, now insulate…though we really did try to make it…”*
David suddenly realizes that auditioning the band for Disney World’s Country Bear Jamboree may not have been such a good idea.
This is heaven on earth
Caption:
“Super-imposed band plays at world famous club – Noahs Arc”
The lighting makes it look as if the band is super imposed. Just in case I’m too strange for anyone to understand it.
CAPTION
Guy & Rick appear totally oblivious to the leaky roof.
CAPTION:
Everyone had to keep really still, as the giant barn worm sought out its prey.
Martin.
David: I’ll count 8 barns and then you come in.
Caption:
The spare Madame Tussauds models of himself and the band that David had got hold of were very useful when they wanted to slip off to the pub without anyone noticing.
Just realised (after having sent off my caption) are the DVDs region 1? If so should people in the UK not send off a caption or will they get the CD instead? Or will the extra goody from the DVDs be sent with a Region 2 DVD if the winner is not in America?
Thanks. Sorry about all the questions.
[Everyone was welcome to send in a caption, but they will get a Region 1 disc if they win. If they can't play it on their DVD player, I think it's still nice to have a copy in the collection, because these disc sets are exclusive to Borders, Best Buy and, ultimately, the US. There's also the small matter of the extra poster and CD... - Features Editor]
Hi all… another competition! Here’s my entry:
Though Ree-chard continued to fume long after the “Happy Birthday Copyright Debaucle”, David secrectly wished they could all just put it behind them.
Good luck everyone!
Tim
“The Barnd”
Back in the ol’ Barn!
While the band played they all contemplated that tiny stand-up bass.
Caption……
“I am a cider drinker……”
Maybe not.
…..Shock anouncement and to our surprise for loyalty from the fans the band decide to do a show at the irregulars barnfest….. more pictures to follow.
at last im back on broadband. do you know a certain supplier made me wait 5 weeks to swap over from sloooooooooooooooow dial up to broadband, im only the paying customer
anyway im back. how are you Fed, is it you or are you on a Rafa rotation as well as your team. can you believe he is still rotating the squad. this could be your best year yet mate, your thoughts Fed on the Rafa rotation, for or against. surely Torres must play, or maybe us at Leeds united could loan him out for £100 a week but it would have to be a post dated cheque
well done on your award. speak soon.
hello to all who remember me out there
[I'm actually one of the few fans in favour of Rafa's policy of rotation, having seen how he used it to such effect at Valencia. I'm sure he knows what he's doing. I would like to see more of Torres, though. My feeling is that the players ought to be proud to pull on that red shirt, they get paid a lot of money to do so, and so they should give their all whenever called upon. They're also professional athletes and need to be rested from time to time. I just don't have much sympathy for them when they start whining in the papers about not playing as often as they'd like to, especially considering that, when selected, they often play like headless chickens (wearing flippers). - Features Editor]
If someone gets a microphone, i’ll stop playing Apache!…

Stevie says: “Hey! David. What on earth is Jon doing up there?”

Down at David’s Barn

For the Caption contest:

Right on! We can jam til the cows come home to reclaim their barn.
Very hearty congratulations for recognition that this is, in fact, the Best Music Blog!!
Happy Birthday to you dear Fed!
David thinking; I was once in a band called Pink.., ah well this one’s much better than that!
Sorry Rog.
CAPTION:
Anybody seen Jon and Phil?
“hmmmm…I don’t think that lightbulb is energy efficient”
Richard was the only one not worried about the creaking of the roof structure.
Hi Fed!
It’s me again. A little bit off-topic, but you might be interested in another “contest” which ended on Oct.,2nd 2007 on german radiostation wdr2
Three Pink Floyd albums in the top ten of 200 !!!
More to read here: (click my name).

[Thanks, Herbert. - Features Editor]
Watts for Rafters?!
Guys, we’re gonna have to sack the new lighting director. His effort at being carbon neutral is gonna kill the next tour!!

“We hope you enjoyed our Ho-Down! Ya’ll come back and see us sometime!”
Caption:
“David Gilmour and pals practice for the upcoming reunion tour of Jokers Wild 2007…”
This is what we do best.
The only word that comes to mind when I look at the above photo of Dave, Guy, Steve and Rick is “HEAVEN”
I hope this was the correct way to enter the contest. I have never posted any blogs before, but I check this web site daily and went to both On An Island tour shows in Chicago at the Rosemont Theatre on 4-12-06 and 4-13-06, and that was also “HEAVEN”
Later, Kelly K. USA
[Absolutely correct, Kelly. Thanks for having a go. - Features Editor]
Caption :
“As they did in the RAH gigs, David and his fellow musicians have another go at playing the roof off.”
Rock the barn
I hope we’ll hear those jams one of these days…
Ethereal air.
And now for something completely different:
“Where’s Jon, has anyone seen Jon Carin, please?”
Cheers, Ernest
Here’s a caption for you:
“Remember That NOTE?” We can’t seem to agree on which key to play in.
David told the boys in the band, “We will playing some top venues later this year.”
What he meant to say was, “We will be playing at the top of my barn, bring your own beer.”
Gary Hurley.
London England.
Careful with that Axe, Guy.

David comments to Steve. “Yep, that’s those bloody death-watch beetles at it again!!”
“When David stated he wanted this tour to be played in smaller intimate venues, little did we know that a full scale barn tour was about to entail…”
David and Steve can’t help but watch as El Magnifico prepares yet again to jump out of the loft onto a pile of mattresses wearing his signature cape.
“…with my FRIENDS AROUND ME…”,
…halfway to the stars…, ebb and flow – let it go…
This is what I think & feel when I saw this great photo!
Thanks again to another great contest, FED! Hope all is well.
GOOD LUCK to you all, best wishes
PETE from Germany
Stevie D (singing) “and again guy’s, *Robin Hood, Robin Hood riding through the glen….*”

Hello FEd,
Congrats on winning the BT Digital Music Award for Best Music Blog, 2007! It is all due to your tireless efforts – thank you so much for maintaining order and a modicum of sanity in this wonderful blog!
Here is my (lame) attempt at a caption…
Rehearsals for the song “The Barn” before it morphed into “The Blue”.
my caption reads:
now, what was I supposed to pick up at the store on my way home???
It’s bright in here
David thinking to himself:
Will Guy’s Bass and Ego be strong enough to hold the roof if that dodgy beam gives out?
Robert

David Is Thinking ” I love my wife”
Hi FEd, congratulations on the Best Music Blog Award – you truly deserve this!
My caption for the photo: Barn yard Attic Jam
thanks,
joefromCanada
How’s this Fed:
‘I should have put a colorbond roof on this shed’
Everything else I thought of was just plain too corny.
I thought I’d add a bit of an Aussie touch to DG, in fact he should live over here part of the year, he’d make a great Aussie.
All the best

Kickin it Old School.
Another 24 Hour Contest – Photo Caption Entry

Hello Fed,
I think in this picture David is saying ” Hey Polly, could you bring us another pot of tea?”
Thanks for another contest!
“Does noen erindre det kveld?”
(Norwegian for “Does anyone remember that night?”)
A work of Art of the highest nature
A place where I wanted to be.
“Do you see that?”
Reading the minds of the band…
Rick: How the hell does Jon make heads or tails out of this techie crap.
David: What’s that up there? We’re not supposed to raccoons in in England!
Guy: Now this is our best selling model, and can get the toughest dirt and debris out of the longest shag carpets using only 100 watts of power! See how quiet that is?
Steve: I wonder who will be the first to find the raccoon I planted up there? This is going to be SO good.
(I know, it’s lame.)
caption compo:
David: It Sounds like its raining.(Breaks into song) ‘Raindrops keep falling on my head………..

My caption would be:
Our Fab Four are rocking again, and they conduit!
