Roger Waters World Tour 2007
Southern Hemisphere
Tour Reviews

From: Elcio Binati
Hi,
Well, I'll try to explain what it was like at the Roger Waters' show in Sao Paulo.

I got there 11 hours before the show started, standing in line so as to obtain the best position on the field to see him. During this time, I saw lots of people walking in small groups and talking about the show. We were among around 45.000 people outside the stadium waiting for the gates to open and the show to begin.

There were a lot of Roger Waters and Pink Floyd t-shirts worn by many in the crowd. You could see them everywhere.

The gates were opened at 5:00 p.m... What an experience, everybody crowded together to give their tickets and running into the field trying to get to the best positions first. It was like bulls running straight into the body. Ufffaaa, but my family and I got into the stadium alive.

While we waited for 4 hours until the show began, we spent the time meeting and having fun with those around us. The only thing that we missed was a kind of music to listen to, or sing along with, just to pass the time (but it wasn't so bad that it spoiled the show for us).

So, when the show began, and Roger and his band finally showed up, it was wonderful, people could hardly believe what they saw!!! It was only just happiness and bliss!!! Everybody sang the songs along with Roger the entire time.

One of the things that was written on the pig was "Hey killers leave our children alone." I thought to myself that this might have been written "because of the lack of security and justice in my country." But it could also have been about the war and the terrorists around the world.

Time passed very quickly and we all enjoyed and appreciated every part of the show. If you want to see some photos about the show, please access: http://g1.globo.com/Noticias/0,,MUL14077-7085-7273,00.html. ANd click on "Veja foto dos leitores do G1 no show de Roger Waters" My photo is 57, where I wrote: "Before, I had dreamed, that I woke up at the show, today I say: what a dream."

In the end, we all wondered "What could we could do to make Roger stay in Brazil? But it was no use, we all knew he had to leave us!!!! But he gave us a show worthy of a king.
