Default Roger Waters Show

Anyone else go tonight?

Wow. Stunning. Drop the jaw amazing.

Best, best, best show I have ever seen. The entire crowd was rockin from start to finish.

Musically, the band was very tight, and didnt stray too much from the album versions.

Kicked ass on the police show a few weeks ago!

Wow man...that was the best concert I've ever been to (topped out clapton/elton john/the who earlier this year). And that was the first time I've ever had floor seats...wow, just an amazing concert from start to finish.

Stunning show, I've seen the Gilmour Floyd show a couple of times and it was solid, but last night it was on a completely different level. Waters and his band were simply brilliant, and damn that 3d screen was amazing.

To those who were not in attendence, despite missing a tremendous sounding concert, you missed:
  • A HUGE inflatable pig flying around the 'dome suring Sheep.
  • A frickin' triangular prism out of lasers, with a white laser 'going in' and 6 coloured lasers coming out, rotating around and shooting the crowd with its rainbow. That description doesn't do it justice...just imagine, recreating the DSOTM prism with lasers. Cool, huh?

Best sounding concert I've ever been too. Wasn't blasted away by too loud amps. Instead, we were treated to a VERY tight band.

At times, I couldn't help but think of how Gilmour could have brought some more on guitar.

Best part of the show for me was Us & Them followed by Any Colour You Like.

sheep was definately the highlight for me. didn't think he'd play that. any color you like was very good as well. he also played most of wish you were here (album) iirc.

not the best show ive ever seen but in the top 5 for sure.

^
it was from the album 'amused to death', the song is called 'perfect sense'

thinking back, i really enjoyed set the controls, sheep, perfect sense, and the final cut stuff - didnt think he'd play those, and i thought leaving beiruit was pretty good.

of course, the songs that almost brought the house down were another brick in the wall, in the flesh, comfortably numb...

great video reminder of syd during shine on you and cool to see the old pictures and home movies show up in the imagery

killer, killer show.

i wish he would have played something from radio kaos, but i was not disappointed in any way.

also, did you guys catch the video disclaimer? i thought it was hilarious - we can use your likeness throughout the universe, in perpituity, in any media or format, now or devised. haha!

Crap. I was going to try and pick up some tickets, but I was afraid he was touring on his operatic CD so didn't feel like paying the extra bucks for tickets from E-Bay or wherever (I didn't find out about the show until the show was sold out). I sure hope he tours near here again.

That was by far the greatest musical experience of my life.
I never believed the actual concert could measure up to my imaginings of it, but it not only did so, but surpassed them by a country mile.

Highlights for me were probably Sheep & Shine On.

UN FREAKING BELIEVABLE

The greatest musical experience of my life, and probably high up there on all time highlights. I'm a "younger" guy, so I didn't really get the chance to see Floyd when they were together, but this fufilled a deam for me.
