Roger Waters World Tour 2007
Northern Hemisphere
Tour Reviews

I won't get into detail about the incredible set list or stage set-up only to repeat what others have said, that it was the most visual, technological masterpiece ever witnessed in a concert setting. The graphics were inspirational and mesmerizing and the comments around me from first time Roger attendees were that of utter amazement. They don't make em like Roger any more, and only he can bring humanity and rock and roll into such a contemporary timeless genre.

I have read with disappointment from those who have been critical of the political spectrum of the show, and for the life of me I can't understand why. It doesn't matter whether you are for or against this or that, what matters is that there needs to be dialog and understanding for both points of view. If you know Roger Waters, what else would you expect? The fact that the world is so off kilter now and so very in need of heart, I found it truly inspiring that he has the courage to speak up against this insanity. In Canada, these messages were not greeted by any jeers but by a resounding thunder of ovation and adulation. Thank God, there are a few purveyors of truth not afraid to speak their mind. Any fan who "gets" what Roger is about should appreciate it, the others who are so put off can all go fuck themselves for all I care. I lived in the States for 40 years, and I know all sides of the issues, so you all have a right to your opinion and so does Roger Waters.

A few songs layered in other reviews were so compelling and so electric, mere words cannot do them justice. I had not heard "Sheep" live in 30 years, and the stage pyrotechnics, flying pig and visuals brought the crowd to a breaking point of excitement. People were actually shaking their heads in disbelief for a few minutes during the start of the intermission trying to comprehend what they just witnessed. The Fletcher Memorial Home was one, for me, that moved me beyond the mere power of the show, but to a place of reflection and nostalgia. For us veterans of Pink Floyd and Roger the whole show was astounding and I cannot imagine what the first half felt like for a first time attendee. Dark Side was incredible, and though it is probably what sold many of the tickets, it was just another outstanding piece of the pie we all devoured. My head is still buzzing from the electricity and karma, and if can think of any more comments, I'll post them

Thank you Roger, and hope you can take a break and come back refreshed... and dont skip Seattle next time!

Funnily enough, my first memory of Pink Floyd was the album that my mother owned, that she would play often in my home as a child.

This past week, at the concert, I was blown away. The sheer magnitude of this amazing, spectacular show, the likes of which I have never seen before. I'm quite sure no other live show will ever top this in my lifetime, but for another reason, one that you might not expect.

Not being a Roger Waters fan prior to the show, I had literally no understanding of the tie in with "Dark Side of The Moon" or Wish You Were Here with Mr. Syd Barrett, and his lifelong battle with schizophrenia. You see, I work for the BC Schizophrenia Society. I was drawn to this job two months ago, because my mother had recently passed away. She had her own lifelong battles with serious mental illness, and died in her apartment in Toronto from a drug overdose of cocaine/herion.

I was only born in 1980 but as soon as I got introduced to the world of Pink Floyd around 1992, I was hooked. I love everything about them and wish I could see many more concerts. Do you know of a blog site... or anywhere I can send a fan letter to that he would actually have a chance at receiving it???
