    Saw Black Jacket Symphony Last Night

    Went to see BJS in Dallas at HOB to see their Pink Floyd show. They were doing their DSOM show where they play straight thru the album without stopping. A short break and they come back out to do an hour long set of Floyd hits. I had a chance to see the real Floyd once in 1988, so I was able to do a contrast & comparison. I don't believe that the show was promoted very well as the audience was small (about 300). BJS started out a bit shaky but got into gear by the time they reached Time. As well as they did with DSOM, they really shined in the second act, giving Shine On, Have a Cigar, Run Like Hell & In the Flesh some real power & emotion. Special mention goes to John Willoughby (Gilmour) the founder & leader of the band. They are based in Alabama and tour around the US. If you have a chance to see them in your area, go, you will not be disappointed.

    I live in Dallas and was unaware, so you are right, it was not promoted well- I'd have gone!
    I'm not lazy. I just work so fast I'm always done.
