What people say

This exhibition is an absolute must see. I happened to be in London from Edinburgh with my 17 year old daughter - in the city for a completely different reason - and took the opportunity. I was very impressed with the audio, both the quality and the zoning (you rock up to a video screen and the audio feed plays when you're within proximity). The videos, artefacts and stories were fascinating. I completely geeked out seeing David Gilmour's legendary black modified Fender Strat and equally legendary Telecaster, the one he used for the looping and delays on The Wall, among other compositions. Richard Wright's keyboards are there along with the effects units they used, there are drums, bass guitars, amplifiers and pretty much all of the speaker cabs that you can see on Live in Pompei. For a gear geek like me, heaven! By the time I got to a video of Richard Wright explaining how he had put the chords together for the Great Gig in the Sky and watching him play it, I was very emotional. Walking into the performance area and watching that band play Comfortably Numb from their Live 8 set pushed me over the edge and the tears flowed. I wasn't the only one moved to tears. You really don't have to be a Floyd fan to appreciate this, it is an amazing experience start to finish. It is quite compact in terms of space to move around but, to be honest, I hardly noticed. Allow 3 to 4 hours to really take everything in then go to the pub to calm down and reflect, you'll need it.
