HHOCD001 - 1988-08-01 The Black Knight and the Fishermen

On the morning of August 1st 1988, several members of the touring Pink Floyd was invitedto a small party at Annabels Night Club (Lille Kongensgade 16 at Kongens Nytorv, Copenhagen.).This party was arranged by the Danish branch of EMI, most likely as a Birthday party forthe Floyds personal security manager Barrie Knight. The low-key “Fishermen” gig was mostlikely not a planned event. Like so many times before “The Fishermen” seem to have takento the stage using the in-house equipment, in a spur of the moment. The reason I guessthis is because the person at the mixer board spend the first 20 minutes of the showstruggling to get the different levels up. Guitars, vocals and piano (specifically) goup and down to a point where the otherwise, silent, David Gilmour, barks at the personat the mixer board.

The set for the evening consist of the “usual” Fishermen set of old Rhythm and Blues and motown classics, including Aretha Franklins “Respect” and “Rock Steady” and the unique rendition of Sugarhill Gangs “Rappers Delight” (First and only time you will hear the Pink Floyd play rap music).
