Then having seen "In the Flesh" on DVD, I simply had to go see one
of the Roger Waters gigs. I must say that the gig has blown me away. From start
to finish it was amazing. Visual effects, sound, performance, and caliber of
artists and singers all second to none. A feast of rock playing out classic Floyd
tunes as well as the entire "Dark Side Of the Moon.
The only negative is that Waters is
not on again tonight as we would pay double to see him again. A magic night for all,
and you haven't lived until you see him live. The bar has been set high and I
hope to see Roger, Snowy and the gang back again. Even his new material "Leaving
Beirut" is blood stirring. This word is thrown around too much to those
undeserving, but Roger Waters is a Legend, and his lyrics are precise, deliberate
and powerful.
A must see gig.

instantly loved.

Well, I can't begin to explain the weird and unrecognisable emotions that surged through me when, as I stoodÊthere on the edge of the crowd, waiting for my fiance to return from the bar, Onto the staged he walked, and there he was, live, Roger Waters! I was alone, I stared, asking myself if this was actually happening or was I fantasising? I screamed to myself in my head, Anne, that is Roger Waters! the music started, Shine on you crazy Diamond, and I really felt I was about to cry, I am a very practical person and am not prone to bouts of emotion, but this was so incredible an experience my poor brain,heart and entire being weren't atall sure just how to handle it.
My fiance (Frank) returned, gutted he had missedÊRogers entranceÊbut thoroughly enjoyed the entire performance, nudging and bumping me at every opportunity while I tried to get some great photos I might add! but I got some anyway. We discreetly weaved and edged our way closer and closer to the front until we wereÊright there, right at the barrier, it was incredible, he was so close and would walk back and forth infront of us.
The female vocalists were ofcourse outstanding, the instrumentalists too were just absolute class, guitarists, drummer and saxophonist all enviably fantastic but, I was there to see one man and one man only, and I now feel it's all too vague in my memory, the reasons for that I suppose, trying to get too many photos, and more probably the fact that I was just totally shellshocked by the whole thing, great reson to make sure I doÊit again though!
I could sit andÊname some of the tracks he sang and tell you how wonderful each one was but lets face it,Êis there going to be even a slightÊdoubt in any of our mindsÊthat his performance could be anything other than amazing? I think not! So there we are. I feel I must have done some wonderfully unselfish and generous thing at some point in my life and someone above has now looked down upon me and bestowed on me this wonderful opportunity that I never in my life felt worthy of. It really means that much!
Thankyou Frank for loving me this much, and thankyou Roger for being so damn
wonderful!
