Zurich Hallenstadion
From: Federico Miravent
The gestures of Roger at the end of the
concert didn't give me the impression that he didn't enjoy this gig either! The whole crowd
went crazy after PP Arnold's solo in Perfect Sense, and again with cheers after
Comfortably Numb!
Anyway, thank you very much Roger for giving the Swiss
people the opportunity to see and hear you and your great songs! We surely
won't forget this experience of a lifetime!!!
What a fantastic concert this was, unbelievable! Everyone enjoyed nearly 3
hours of Roger's marvellous sound, and every single member of the band was
doing a great job! 12'000 people were there, and I wasn't the only one with
tears in my eyes during the opening song. It seemed to me that everybody was
enjoying this great show, at least in my vicinity everyone was just listening and enjoying
every single minute of the show.
At the back of the Hallenstadium I met three fans who were waiting for Roger's arrival for the soundcheck. The first fan I asked: Yes! he had a spare ticket! Wow! We saw Roger arrive in a white small transporter van but were very disappointed in him becuse he did not stop at the gate. I guess because we were only a group of five people! In a second van the rest of the group arrived with the three backing vocal girls. We spoke to Andy Wallace who kindly opened the door, as the van had to wait before the gate. But no luck in trying to get Roger back out of the venue for some autograph signing...oh well.
Later I realised this was the best "Pink Floyd" concert I ever saw. Memories of teenage years coming back remembering the "Wish You Were Here" Tour and the "Animals" show... concerts too!
