Funny moments/mistakes by Mark and the band during the tour

[Knopflerfan]

In my opinion Mark handled these situations very well, kept his coolness, laughed about it and carried on with the show. Great man!

Exactly, MK is MK!

2m45....

I think Ian has problems there as well. Shortly after MK’s sound comes back, you can see Ian signalling.

I know not everyone likes him or his style but to carry on playing the drum part one handed (presumably with no sound) while looking so relaxed is quite something.

Well spotted.....

Nick Mason lost his drum stick when performing One of These Days on Live at Pompeii and recovered really well and quickly:



It happens at 4:43

[Robson]

I remember when I first watched Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii being surprised that the footage on One Of These Days focused almost entirely on Nick Mason's drumming. Was this a deliberate decision? I remember reading that the footage of the other members had been lost, hence why Mason dominates that section of the film, but I'm not sure if this is true or not. Nonetheless, watching him not break a sweat and recover despite the mistake is a memorable moment.

Yes, that's true, that is the reason it's Nick's time to shine.

On the Pink Floyd 'Gaff' theme, I watched the 'Live in Venice' 1989 film last night and came across a beauty with DG totally missing the Start of 'Wish you were here' followed by a wry smile!!
It's at 1min20...

[qjamesfloyd]

He is human after all

[Knopflerfan]

He is human afte all

So it seems!!!

very minor, in Knebworth 90 he played the wrong chord during Run Like Hell, it was edited in the official release, if you have the radio show the mistake is there

[Knopflerfan]

And there's me thinking along with qjamesfloyd that DG was perfect - again he is human after all!!!

[Knopflerfan]

Don't forget the 2019 show at Bordeaux where Ianto storms in with the start of 'Corned Beef City' and has to slow down as it's actually 'Nobody does that' they are about to play!!!!

[TheTimeWasWrong]

At the start of WII (8:30), there's something wrong, I guess with the gain/volume of his guitar.
