We are helping The Brighton Dome celebrate its Floyd history, and we need YOUR help. The Dome are working to recreate and share its history, and are applying for Heritage Lottery Funding (HLF) to achieve this. The more support they receive the more we can do to bring alive its legacy, starting with the Dome’s special association with The Floyd and The Dark Side Of The Moon at The Brighton Dome.
STEP ONE is to add your name to support the bid, leave your details as a comment below: your name, city/country location, email address, website. A show of support will enable us to ‘petition’ the HLF and start the process.
“I whole heartedly support the bid to recreate and celebrate the Dome’s history. As a fan, I want to be part of the Dome’s initiative to recreate the history and conserve the legacy of Pink Floyd at The Dome. I want to learn more about the live shows there, understand better the local significance and culture, and the part the Dome played to Pink Floyd. The PF community and the Dome’s community can and should participate more widely with the global community of music listeners to interact, engage, and share this valuable social history.”
IMPORTANT NOTE: Your details will be passed to only the HLF and the Dome, with the strict privacy protection offered by TDSOTM40 that this will NOT be used for any other purpose than the petition and subsequently keeping you informed about it. I’ll remove email addresses from comments, or contact me direct if you’re happier.
STEP TWO: Tell a friend so they can sign up!
STEP THREE: If you attended any of the 3 Dome shows in ’72 then please tell us if you’d be happy to be contacted by us to gather your memories and pictures and to be interviewed as part of the research process that follows. The Dome will then have more to share, and we’ll all have more to enjoy of these classic shows. Please email me, adding any more contact info: forum alias name, telephone number, etc.
STEP FOUR: We’ll share the fuller history of the Dark Side shows at Dome from 1972, and everyone will benefit from and learn more about this special piece of history.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you.
UPDATE 12th Aug ’12: the support so far has been great, keep it coming; lots of names, lots of fans, to make a collective will into a collective thrill! – thank you!, “thank you!”

I think it is not only a fantastic idea but a NECESSARY idea, as part of the Dome’s history, to support the initiative to reinvigorate the epoch-making shows that Pink Floyd performed there in 1972. It has my wholehearted support!
As a collector of Syd Barrett’s art, and a longtime fan of Pink Floyd, I support this campaign.
I agree with Symon! Count me in! ; )
Hey you! Spend some Time supporting this Interstellar cause before the Final Cut.

I commend this initiative to all Pink Floyd fans.

I support this fantastic cause and would encourage all other Floyd fans to do likewise!
I wholeheartedly support this important initiative! Thanks!
my children love listening to this. Marvellous
1972 was a major year for Pink Floyd. The string of 1972 concerts they performed at The Dome in Brighton is a major part of their history. I’m very pleased to join this campaign. I’ll do all that I can in helping The Dome celebrate it’s magnificent rich history!
Anything to do with Pink Floyd has my support!

A great campaign, and important to capture as much about this important part of Pink Floyd’s history as possible, before it all gets lost in the mists of time…
Long time fan..support it wholeheartedly!
I support it wholeheartedly!
The memories of a band in its old age is the deeds of the band in its prime. Long live the Floyd.

I totally support this initiative, as a Floyd fan and as a Dome lover! Bring it on!
I think this is a really great opportunity, to pull as many different pieces of memorabilia together, inside one very beautiful setting. As a fan of the band I support this super quest!
I support this initiative and those who are working to protect and preserve these memories and this place. The Dark Side of the Moon is an international treasure of culture and music which should be celebrated and preserved for future generations to appreciate. The Dome in Brighton is an essential part of this legacy.
I want to preserve the legacy of Pink Floyd at the Brighton Dome.
Of course I’m in! All the Floyd fans should support this amazing ideia!

Come on give your support for this worthwhile cause for probably the best band ever.
I wholeheartedly support this.

This would be amazing! You have my support.
Sydney, Australia.
Shine on Brighton Dome.
If ever there was to be a holy grail then maybe Brighton Dome should be it! Either ways, this sounds like a really worthwhile project and should be supported. Thanks for this great idea.
Great idea! The Dome shows of Pink Floyd are legendary, so is The Dome itself!

I give this my full support.
Absolutely essential. I commend this to all Floyd fans. Shine on.
Hell yeah…. a worthy cause
This project is so important as is the Dome in the history of Pink Floyd.
Desde mi lejano pais Paraguay,en Sudamerica apoyo totalmente este gran emprendimiento como gran admiradora de los amados Pink Floyd.Suerte y exitos.
This project should definitely get lottery funding as it represents such an important part of our recent history.
E’ cosa giusta, sostenere la causa per la salvaguardia di un luogo che ormai fa parte della storia della musica rock.
I have the 1st DOME show that had a power outage on CD along with over 180 other shows.
A legendary and iconic band meshed with the history of the DOME for the world to see would be well deserved for both.
Let’s do it – but can we paint it pink this time around?
I fully support this campaign. The Dome is a fantastic venue with a rich legacy that deserves to be fully recognised and celebrated.
hi every body

Long time fan
This would be amazing! You have my support.
Signed!
I fully support this project. The success of Dark Side, Floyd changed the listening habits of a generation and changed the direction of the record insutry. No longer would an album have to be produced as a series of singles, as record companies were now comfortable allowing artists to treat an album as a blank canvas. Dark Side effectively enabled a genre of whole album music expression and the Dome was integral in allowing many of those bands perform.
I fully support this bid
I fully support this campaign, and commend The Dome’s board of directors for recognizing this series of Pink Floyd concerts as being part of their venue’s rich legacy as well as an important milestone in the history of contemporary music.
A must for Floyd history
Wholehearted support
very glad to support! good luck!
cheers, bernhard / vienna
I’m in complete support.
You have my support 110%!!
Definitely support the dome!
I’ve been living in Brighton for 24 years… and a Floyd fan even longer than that.
This HAS to happen. This would be a perfect addition to the historic Dome.
I support this worthy endeavor to support the history of the Dome and its storied relationship with Pink Floyd.
I fully agree. The Dome has a cultural and historical significance that spans generations and should be a national treasure. A fitting site for architectural students who turned to music. Long live floyd.
I support this worthy cause. May the Pink Floyd Fan Flag wave forever.
I fully support this project.
I’m from Israel
Shine on…As a massive Pink Floyd fan…You can count me in.Fabulous idea x
Just read a feature about this in the local paper here in Brighton. The Domes part in the story of one of the biggest selling and most influential albums should be celebrated, heres wishing you every success.
I wholeheartedly support this bid.
Roger, from Belgium
I fully support preservation of the Dome. It’s an icon, much like the Cavern Club is for the Beatles.
“Is there anybody out there” lets support this, come on P/F fan get signing and remember the great DAVE GILMOUR lives here SIGN,SIGN,SIGN…!
I would curious to hear what Roger Waters would have to say about this project, if he were to hear of it, though I know I am more likely to hear from Nick Mason who is generally supportive and positive, about both Pink Floyd’s past and his own (and other people’s) present lives.
Three of us drove from Northampton to Brighton on 28 June 1972 and sat in row A42 (I still have the ticket) – to have our minds blown by the heart beat going round and round the individual speakers, then awe inspiring music in swirls of colours and smoke. This was the start of a journey watching Pink Floyd grow to be one of the biggest bans ever – and The Dome was that first step. It MUST be recorded as such. In October 1972 they were at Empire Pool, Wembley – I was there as well to make sure what I witnessed at The Dome was real!
We should celebrate stuff like this as much as we can.
Count me in.
I was there at the very first performance of this amazing album. I still have the ticket stub (along with many others from The Dome). This was music made for the round auditorium with the heartbeat going from one speaker to another in a circle – it felt like the place was spinning. I have never, ever forgotten it and still regale my friends with the story (if they will listen!!) I was only 16 and I thought I was part of one of the biggest events in history. Actually, I was!!
