What does the t-shirt say?

[edit]

Starting at 1:55 and 4:30 in this video, David Gilmour and Nick Mason, respectively, are wearing a t-shirt that says something like "____ Washington University". I'm having trouble making out the name of the school. Can I get a hand finding out? Thanks, †dismas†|(talk) 12:53, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Could be George Washington. Some googling give shirts that look quite similar [1] and it seems that they recorded a live album there in 1971. 128.141.114.93 (talk) 13:34, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I think you're right. Although the font and style of the shirt is a pretty standard thing amongst US universities, the rest matches up well to the specific circumstances. They played at Lisner Auditorium on 16 November 1971 for the Meddle tour (unless it's included in the recently release box sets, not a live album recording) and Obscured by Clouds (the images were taken from the recording sessions for that album) was recorded in February - April of '72.
So, thanks very much!! I appreciate it! †dismas†|(talk) 13:53, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
