January 2020 seems like another life ago.  When we walked off the stage after the show at Revolution Hall on Jan 25th 2020, we were already talking about fine tuning rehearsals for the next run of shows to kick off in 6 weeks time. We  had absolutely no idea that it was to be the last backstage moment for our band and crew for the better part of 2 years.

Matt and Dave in Portland, OR on Jan 25th, 2020 - the band’s last pre-pandemic show.

Sometimes you simply don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone  - sounds cliched but it fits the moment at least for us here in POTW camp.  We certainly had plenty of moments of doubt as a band over the past 18 months that we would ever get back on a stage - that our last show was actually our final show.

Maybe that helps explain how much it’s meant to us to be able to get back out there this fall - the shows have been incredible despite the logistical hurdles of the covid-era.  As a band we’ve never felt better about our performances, the production, and our team.

Most striking though has simply been the support of  you, our fellow Pink Floyd fans. From your gracious willingness to roll with it when we set off fire alarms on opening night ( yep the hazers work still) to a full house Wish You Were Here sing along in our home town - it means everything to us to have you there with us. 

Shine On You Crazy Diamonds - we’ll see you out there on the road soon!
