I might be seeing another Pink Floyd tribute show next year, what 'tea' do you suggest I should drink first prior the show?
Drink The Tea GM and the enjoy The Set; as PF were briefly called The Tea Set in 1965. Then make your way directly home because Supper will be Ready!
When I saw Steve Hackett last year, he played Supper's Ready and Foxtrot in full. It was mesmerising to watch. I guess Steve Hackett is my Van Gogh.
Next year, I will drink the special tea and go home to a club sandwich waiting for me in the fridge.
Shadow of the Hierophant is something else, especially feeling the breeze from the speakers when it gets louder.

I have never experienced anything like it before or since
I also have only had the on trace like experience with paintings (before anyone - GM! - suggests I had had nothing more than an Earl Grey tea..) at the Blake. It was so powerful. Lasted just a few minutes.
I think great art can overpower us sometimes because it makes life more real than life. And I think can raise emotions in us we simply didn't know were there.
Come to think of it, I had another comparable experience when I watched Anthony Hopkins in the film Shadowlands. I was on my own and simply burst into uncontrollable tears at the end.
And at college my A level Classics tutor came to ask if I was okay as I had gone "trance like" reading the poetry of The Odyssey.
You and your trances Wyot. Are you a secret stoner? There's Early Grey tea and there's Earl Grey tea?

I really liked the substance, one of the best films I have seen this year. I don't usually like Sci-Fi which I think this is, but it is so obviously over the top and tongue-in-cheek that you can't take it seriously and aren't supposed to, unlike the very earnest Matrix, which I didn't enjoy at all.
