In The Flesh 2000
Tour Reviews

From: Les Campbell
I drove down from Vancouver, Canada to the see the show at the Gorge Amphitheatre near George, WA on June 3, 2000. It turned out to be the greatest concert experience that I have witnessed.

I have been to over 100 major rock concerts, including Pink Floyd's Momentary Lapse of Reason and Division Bell shows, and nothing has come close to the magical atmoshphere that was created at the Gorge last Friday night.

Roger Waters is nothing short of a genius when it comes to song-writing and his on stage performance was just as impressive. His mere presence gave me goose-bumps and every time I re-live the opening of the show in my mind I feel electricity shooting through my spinal column.

I will never forget Roger pointing to the Northern sky, looking up to the heavens, and seeing two lights appear in the horizon over the picturesque sandstone cliffs of the Columbia River Gorge. Within seconds, the smooth curves of a black jet could be seen racing towards the amphitheatre. The pilot banked the jet 90 degrees and the awesome machine zoomed just hundreds of feet above the crowd.

I could not decipher whether I was trembling with fear or joy; whether I was a fan at a rock concert or if I was an anonymous figure trapped behind a giant white Wall about to be terminated.

The thunder of the afterburners over head, the roar of the crowd, and 120 decibels of "So ya, thought ya, might like ta, go to the show....to feel the warmth, the confusion of that space-cadet glow....." bombed my aural sensory receptors into oblivion like nothing I have ever experienced before. I pumped both arms into the air, screamed as if sonic shrapnel was tearing my soul apart, and whirled around to see 20,000 fans on their feet in a state of frenzy. There would be no turning back, my controls were set into the heart of the sun.........

P.S. There has been much discussion on the net as to what kind of jet screamed over head to open the show. I have read it was Roger's private jet, a 727, or a 737. I don't agree with any of this because of the speed of the aircraft, the all-black paint, the aeronautics, and how low it flew overhead. I assume that it must have been a military aircraft from Yakima Airforce base because no commercial pilot would take those risks involved in pulling off such a manoeuvere over 20,000 people. Is there any way you can find out? If it was military, how did Roger pull it off? What would that stunt cost?

I went to my first ever Roger Waters concert last night at the gorge, and was totally amazed by the big plane that flew over the stage to start the show.

I would like to thank Roger and his band for a wonderful evening that my boyfriend and I had. Without a doubt this was a dream come true for both of us. It was so wonderful to see him enjoying himself in front of an audience again.

We only can hope that the enjoyment he had will allow him to tour again within a short period of time, because it has been too long since this genius of a songwriter has graced us with his presence. As far as the rest of the band goes, if there is another tour, Roger need not look anywhere else for help. What an excellent array of talent they all were.

Last night I got the privilege to see Roger Waters at the Gorge Amphitheatre. It was the first concert I've ever been to, and let me tell you I'am still having a hard time putting words to describe what I saw (AWSOME doesnt seem to be enough!!!)

I've always been a Floyd fan, but now, seeing Roger in person has raised my feelings ten-fold. But I do have one wish, which I know others do share, it's that Roger and David get back together for at least one tour.

From: Jeanine Selvage
I have enjoyed Roger Waters and PF since I was a teenager back in the 70's and saw PF live in 1989 in Seattle. I had always hoped I could see Roger Waters live because to me Pink Floyd has never been the same without him.

I finally got to see Roger Waters for the June 30th show at the Gorge in George Washington. It was absolutley incredible. Topped the Pink Floyd show in '89, and I always thought that was the best concert I had ever seen. RogerWaters is amazing!!!

Roger opened the show with a real live......., well I probably shouldn't say just in case there are other outdoor venues, in an outdoor venue you can do anything and it was awesome.

The sound at the Gorge was incredible and the guitars and the drums and the girls and Roger......well, the wholeshow was amazing. Roger you are truly a master!!! Not only did he sound great, he looked great. It's a must see show!!!!!!!!!!

Don't go see Roger Waters because you want to see a Pink Floyd show; go see Roger to see Roger.

The Gorge show was simply amazing. Everything was perfect from the weather to the atmosphere of the crowd, yet after the first few songs I found myself being disappointed.

Here was the man I had waited years to see, standing a mere 10 feet away, playing songs I love and somehow I was disappointed. During intermission I thought about it and realized that the problem I was having wasn't with Roger or the band, but with me. Somewhere along the line I had gotten it in my head that seeing Roger would be the same as seeing Pink Floyd (not Gilmour's band but THE PINK FLOYD).

Anyway, when the second set began I got my head straight and was simply blown away. Rog put so much energy into his solo material that when the show was over I felt like his set of songs from Amused to Death had been the highlight of the show.

Roger puts on a great show, and if you miss it I feel sorry for you. Go see the show and appreciate Roger for the amazing artist that he truly is.

It was a beautiful evening at The Gorge, which is a wonderful setting for a concert. A jet flew over the venue at 8:32 p.m., blowing everyone away, leading directly into In the Flesh. What an opening!!

I saw Roger in San Francisco six days prior, and although he was good at the Shoreline, he was even better at The Gorge. The audience was electric, which, along with the setting, is probably what roused Roger and the Band.

The video screen backdrop to the stage didn't work during the first set, which was great because the natural backdrop to the stage, including the setting sun, was more magical than anything contained in the first set video.

For me, Shine on You Crazy Diamond was the highlight of Set One - the fans went wild at its conclusion - and the cuts from Amused to Death were collectively the highlight of Set Two (we rose toour feet in excitement during Perfect Sense Part II and belted out the chorus to "Our Global Anthem").

Notwithstanding the electricity, my only criticism was the lack of spontaneity.
For someone whose stated purpose in touring the U.S. was to reconnect with his fans, one would have thought he would have verbally interacted with them in some sort of site-specific, spontaneous manner. Instead, he simply reiterated exactly what he said (and did) in San Francisco, and probably everywhere else on the tour (his bit about reconnecting with the audience which made it a "special evening" was a good example).

In San Francisco, he could have acknowledged the Gay Lesbian Transexual Pride Parade that took place earlier in the day, or at the Gorge acknowledging the massive street protests in Seattle against the World Trade Org. of a year or so ago. But he didn't. One also would have thought that he would have mixed things up a bit in terms of his set list instead of playing the same things as every other night. While going home, I had the feeling I had beenwatching a Broadway Show for the last three hours. I take it Roger's world is somewhat insulated.

Be that as it may, I love Roger for all the truly great music and lyrics he has given us over the years. It was special to be part of it all. And the band is just fantastic. That is really what I think. Oh by the way... Katie Kissoon is spectacular!

From: Doug Heal
I attended the Roger Waters concert at the gorge a couple days ago. It was the most amazingly spectacular show I had seen in my whole life!

Roger Waters is an amazingly insane genius who knows how to put on a show like no other, and I was humbled to be so close to the man who wrote some of the best music ever written, and had the brains and the imagination to take the stage show to such fantastic heights.

Me and a couple friends drove down from Vancouver to catch the show, and we all agreed we had never seen anything as spectacular as the plane flying by to start off the show!

Unfortunately due to slowed reflexes I was unable to snap a picture of the excitement, and was upset because that was a once in a life time thing. I am hopeing that I will be able to track down someone on the net who was able to capture the moment on film. Someone must have got one, if not Roger himself (I'm sure you dont plan a stunt like that and not have cameras set up to save it in time). I would appriciate it if whomever is reading this could get back to me with any info they might have on the where abouts of such a picture.

That concert blew my mind, and it would be so great to have a picture of that plane to at least know I wasnt hallucinating when it raced over my head close enough to touch.

From: Jade Bohn"
So I...thought I'd... like to go to...THREE shows!! Portland, The Gorge and Boise. My god, everything Roger doesdefies description!! For me, the Gorge in George, Washington, was by far the most spectacular show!!

To start the show off with a humorous reference to his latest release of The Wall - Live, and then to have that gigantic jet fly over the stage as they kicked into "In The Flesh..." What can I say?... (11th row) That was SO F.....'ing AWESOME!!!!

Born in 1967, I'm a child of the Architectural Abdabs era, but have never had the privilege of seeing Roger in concert. I have only seen PF once, in British Columbia (Canada), for The Division Bell. That show was incredible, however I have to say, Roger is the truevisionary leader and by far the greatest lyrical genius ever! His contribution to musical theatrics will forever remain legendary!

Favoring Roger's solo work, I had hoped to hear at least one or two songs off KAOS, (especially with Jim Ladd there in Portland) but the selected material was still perfect and arranged most brilliantly. Roger definitely accomplished what he set out to do in creating an intimately magical experience!

Anxiously awaiting "Ca Ira",the DVD of the Portland show, and possibly a Europeantour,

Please do not read the below message if you are avoiding ITF 2000 tour spoiler emails. With that being said here is my review of my adventure to see Roger Waters on Friday June 30th, 2000 at the Gorge in George, Washington.

The Journey There
==================
NOTE -Why this gig is advertised as Seattle I'll never know. The gorge is located in central Washington about 3 hours east of Seattle. The only plausible reason I could see to do this is because there is absolutely nothing resembling a large city anywhere closer to the Gorge then Seattle. Spokane is about 2 hours further east, this place is in the boonies folks!

I hit the road with my traveling party at about 930am and we made good time to the Canada/USA border and then towards Seattle. I had never been anywhere in Washington state then on the coast, so let me tell you I had no idea what to expect. First of all the climate changes!!

Vancouver to Seattle -Coastal, Wet, Green
Cascade Mountains -Rocky, Cold, Wet
Rest of the Way -Barren, Dry, Hot!

When all is said and done by 1130 we were heading up into the Cascade mountain range. After a few stops for food and supplies we were in the Columbia River valley and experiencing the sunshine and heat that we had been missing all day. I couldn't believe this was the same state. Mind you in BC (where I'm from) once you leave the Greater Vancouver area and enter the northern Okanagon region there are very similar climate changes. Finally at around 400pm we hit the nearest thing to town near the Gorge, Ellensburg. By 500pm we were pulling into the Gorge campsites where we were spending the night. All in all about 6 hours of road time from Vancouver BC -The Gorge.

The Venue
============
Wow! The Gorge is a naturally formed amphitheater overlooking a Gorge which is carved out by the Columbia River. The stage faces away from the river and if you were on the stage you would easily be able to see the beautiful view and the river and gorge. From the crowd you can not see the view but from the grass seating I'm sure you would be able to. The campsite is perched about a mile away from the venue on top of a cliff. There are no trees just stars and grass, we all knew that we'd be awakened by the sun very early due to the lack of shelter. The assigned campsites were little more then plots of grass where you can park your car and pitch a tent or two. No fire pit, just grass.

When we finally got out of our car and began to set up camp and have a beer or 6 ;-) there was multiple campers blasting Roger or PF music from their sites in preparation for the show. The guy next to my party was playing Fearless as I got out of my car, followed by Not Now John. My guess is that there was close to a few thousand campers in the site...very packed, I was reminded of Woodstock or some other outdoor festivals. We quickly set up camp and grabbed a few 'road pops' and headed down to the venue. After the long walk we were through the gates and I was off to the beer garden to find some other Echoesians with my trusty Harvested T-Shirt in tow.

Hunt For Echoesians
====================
I was planning to find a few familiar names and faces when I got the beer garden and found no one! Jason Lane?? Dave Ward?? Rick Karhu?? Martha Copeland?? Ralph Foster?? Stef Roberts?? So I perched on the grass with my friend Mark and had dinner and a couple more beers and just as I was getting ready to leave I spot a Radio Kaos T-Shirt. Martha! Good thing I had met Martha a few years back or I wouldn't have noticed her. We chatted for a bit and wondered where everyone else was before I headed off to finally check out my seats.

My friend Mark and I got down to our 6th Row view and admired my handy work on the Ticketmaster.com WWW site. Very close to the right side of the stage. Wonderful. I scanned the crowd again for familiar faces. I knew Rick and Dave were in about Row 15 on the other side....hmmm... ah there were those 2 ugly mugs. I headed over to say hi and see how things were going. Just as we were chatting Martha walks up. Chatting some more I remembered that a friend of mine who works for a Seattle based magazine was covering the show. So I said my goodbyes and headed off to look for him.

I found him in the media tent and was told that the professional photogs were allowed to shoot the show for the 1st 4 songs (ITF, THDOOL, ABITW2, MOTHER). Since we were sitting so close the stage he said he'd come talk to me at some time during the show or intermission.

The Show
===========
I saw 2 shows last year in Quebec City and Montreal. So here is my assessment of the set list this year in comparison to last year in a song by song format:

IN THE FLESH - Same performance wise. Roger did a good Gary Yudman impersonation as he was waiting for something. Whoa! A jet buzzes the crowd at low altitude before the show. Really cool!!! The grass seated folk must have been feeling that plane.

NOTE!!! -

During the first intermission I talked to a media friend of mine who was covering the show. He told me that after he had completed his 4 song photo pass he was taken with the other photographers to the media tent to sign some release forms. During this time Mark Fenwick addressed the photographers quickly. One of them asked about the plane and Fenwick confirmed that this was the touring plane of the band and that it was done in compensation for the fans since the screen was thought not to be used due to the wind. So I hope this ends all the speculation. This is straight from Rog's manager's mouth.

HAPPIEST DAYS / ABITW2 - Crowd went nuts, but all in all the same performance as last year. Great opening 3 songs though I must admit. The crowd was electric after these.

MOTHER - Fabulous I hope Roger never drops this from his live shows. Doyle's guitar solo was much better then last years show.

DESSERT / SD - Dessert is way better now. Roger sings it identical to the album and the song now has the orchestral accompaniment just like the album as well. Much much better. SD is similar in performance to last year.

POTW / Dogs - Wow...really good.. again a high point for me. However spectacular Jon's keyboard work was this time around in the middle section it was nothing compared to last year. Another electric response from the crowd. :-)

WTTM - Great! My friend said this was his favorite song of the night. Very similar in performance to last year.

WYWH - I love the song... Roger can't sing it though.. I'm sorry.. This is a Dave song and it always will be... its just not the same. If Rog tours in 2001 he should drop this IMHO.

SOYCD - Much much better then last year. The band is much tighter and the transition into SOYCD6-9 is more smooth. Snowy and Doyle rip up the show with their jamming. Wow! Amazing set closer... unfortunately the backing screen still hasn't been raised due to wind, so no image of Syd looking over the crowd.

STC - Great to say I've seen this song live. Graham does some good mallet drumming to impersonate Nick. Ho hum sax solo. Still fun none the less

STM / BREATHE - Great, the guy next me elbows me and says "just like the album huh!!" I nod... very good work here.

TIME - In spring 1999 if you told me Roger was going to do this song in his 99 and 2000 tours I would have laughed.. I would never see this as a Roger song but man it rocks with Roger singing it too...amazing.. the crowd goes bananas.

MONEY - Way way way better then last year. The band is tight, I'll say it again. Andy F-Low's solo was scorching. Previous reviewers were right as well.. the sax solo was dead on note for note like Dick Parry's on the album. Roger was smiling the whole time as he played. Again the crowd goes bonkers.

EVERY STRANGERS EYES - Yes he lip synchs.. I saw it... doesn't matter.. a great live song... just as powerful as last year.

PS1 / PS2 - Similar to last year. The crowd loved this one. Another one Roger should never drop from his set list.

BRAVERY - Great! Yeah I'm glad they added this! I just wish WGW1 was still on the set list. Oh well. This was a good call on Roger's part none the less. However, the bridge still needs work, though I don't know if I agree with Ron Toon's assessment of adding a sax solo (shudder).

ITS A MIRACLE - Wow! Man I love this song way more live then I do on the album.. its my favorite Rog solo song and this performance was fabulous. The screen is finally pulled up for this song.

AMUSED TO DEATH - Ditto.. amazing.. these 2 songs should never leave his live set. Amazing.. I'm almost in tears as Alf Razell's voice ends the song and Bill Hubbard's headstone is projected on the screen.

BD / ECLIPSE - A great closer, similar performance to last year.

CN - Good but still..its not Dave... nuff said

ESC - Boy has this song evolved.. Much much better then KC last year... its great. Jon Carin offers a lot more to this song now as does Snowy and Doyle. This is great. I can't wait to hear the album. Great closer.

All in all the band is much tighter then last year. They seem more confident. Susannah Melvoin is good addition to the band.. she soloed with Roger on Bravery backing vocals and sounded great.

Post Show Report
=================
I needed to get back to the campsite as I had been on my feet for the whole show and was sore. Let me tell you there isn't much regulation at the Gorge campsites... music was blaring til all hours of the evening. Fights broke out. Riots with the security occured. I awoke at 7am with only 3 hours of sleep to find a port o potty burned to the ground next to my site!!!! The guys next door were still up partying at 7am!

My buddy and I took a long 7 hour drive home to Canada and I crashed out on my bed for a few hours before I was fully recovered.

As I said earlier this show was much better performance wise then the 2 1999 shows I attended. However, nothing will compare to my experience at my first Roger Waters show in Quebec City.

I have snapped a few pictures which I haven't developed yet, and if they turn out I will make them available to Echoes. Hope you enjoyed my review,

From: Kent Kronlof (Multiple Zones Intl, Inc) WOW! What a show. This giant plane came up from behind the stage and over the crowd. Scared the Sh*t out of everyone. What a great way to start.

THANK YOU ROGER AND ALL THE OTHERS WHO MADE THIS CONCERT POSSIBLE. Please do not wait so long to come back. As you could tell from the crowd we really do love you. Thanks again for such an incredible evening. I will never forget it.

From: Mark Sharpe
I saw Roger Waters at the Gorge Amphitheater on June 30. The venue is in the Columbia Gorge overlooking the Columbia River. The setting is beautiful and a perfect place for a show like 'In The Flesh.' Because it is not in a city and there are no tall buildings around it allowed for an incredible opening for the show.

The band and backup singers came out on stage and took their places. Then Roger walked out on a platform at the back of the stage, about 8 feet up from the stage. He says 'I see the band is ready and the show will start momentarily. In fact it will start now! No, no, not quite yet.' At this point I notice he is looking over his shoulder into the gorge. He then says ' The show will start in just a few moments.' And he looks back at the gorge. This makes me look at the gorge. When I do, I see three lights next to each other coming towards the stage. Then as it makes a climb into the air, I realize it's an airplane heading right at us! (I think it was their tour jet.) As it passes over, at about 800 feet, Roger yells something that I couldn't make out and the band started playing. That's how you start a show!

And what a show. Roger and the band were perfect through the whole thing. For the first set it was too windy for the screen to be up at the back of the stage, but it didn't matter. The music was so great it didn't need anything else added to it. The crowd joined in on many of the songs. And when they played the new song, Each Small Candle, at the end of the show not one sound could be heard from the crowd of 15,000 until the end, when everyone went nuts cheering and clapping.

Roger puts on a show like no one else. No talking in between songs. No b.s., just great music. He definitely needs to tour more often. Even without a new album to promote he can draw large crowds. Why? Because we love him and his music!

I saw the Roger Waters concert at the Gorge in George, Wa. It was the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life. At the begining of the show a big jet flew over the crowd. It was the best possible begining to a concert I could have ever imagined.

The concert was my girlfriends birthday present from me and a hell of a birthday present it was. She loved it and so did I. I hope that Roger will do a follow up tour to this. Seeing any part of Floyd in concert has always been a dream of mine, and now it has become a reality. Thank you Roger!!!

From: Dan Werr
I was at the Gorge concert, and the band put on a great show, but there were a few problems, unfortunately. These might've been because I was stupid and got general admission tickets instead of reserved. In any case, here were the drawbacks:

The show, especially at the beginning was much too quiet--regular conversation was perfectly audible--and at certain points the left channel went out entirely. Also, the GA section was too far away to really see what was going on onstage (and it was obvious that we missed a lot). It led to the impression that you weren't at the concert but trying to catch it from outside the venue. I wish there had been screens showing what was going on.

Also, the majority of the fans in general admission (I couldn't see what was going on in reserved) seemed largely indifferent toward the concert. In the section I was in at the beginning, everyone stayed seated between Pigs on the Wing and Comfortably Numb. I stood up for Welcome to the Machine and somebody actually asked me to sit down (not a staff member, a "fan"). I didn't sit down, but I was one of the few people who stood in the immediate vicinity during Wish You Were Here and Shine On. When the intermission came, I decided that I would move if no one seemed to care when the next big classic came. Off too my right, people seemed more into it and were already up again when they started Set the Controls after the intermission. When Breathe In the Air came and everyone around us still just sat there, I went over to where people seemed less apathetic about the whole thing. There it got a lot better, as Waters went over classic Dark Side material, especially during Money.

When he went to solo material, everyone even there sat down again, including myself (I wasn't at all familiar with his solo career; I've since bought Amused to Death). What surprised me is that no one seemed to get excited when he started Brain Damage/Eclipse. I was disappointed that there wasn't much reaction. I wondered if that figured into the decision to end the regular set with Comfortably Numb (from what I've seen, ComfNumb is usually an encore). Thus, the only encore we got was Each Small Candle.

A note about the plane fly-by: There also was a plane fly-by during a Dave Matthews Band concert at the Gorge on July 16, 1999. At the DMB concert, it appeared to be a military cargo jet, with the engines under the wings. The plane at Roger Waters appeared to me to be a small commercial jet (I thought it looked like it had a white top and a silver bottom)--I thought maybe it was a Fokker F28.

All in all, the let-downs weren't the fault of the band, who did a great show. I was disappointed more by the low quality of the audio (I've been to several Gorge shows and this is the first time I've noticed problems) and the indifference of the fans. I saw Pink Floyd in Vancouver on the Division Bell tour, and everything went perfectly for that show; it ended up being a much better all-around experience (especially since I'm much more familiar with post-Waters Floyd than I am with post-Floyd Waters).

From: Robert Korman
Pink Floyd has meant more to me than any other band for nearly 20 years. I have had the opportunity to see the current version of the Floyd in concert (and it was spectacular), but I have wanted to see Roger Waters for years.I am very grateful to have had the opportunity.No disrespect to Gilmour, Mason & Wright, but Rogers' show tops 'em all. Absolutely amazing in every way!

I attended the Gorge show with my wife and one of my best friends, Floyd fans all. We had a fantastic time and it's one of those very special moments that we will remember and savor for years to come.

Roger - as an artist you are brilliant and uncompromising. In an era where musical "product" is created and marketed to drone-like masses, you have decided to take a different and far more enriching path, creating thought-provoking music that challenges the listener. While I willnever dispute the fact that the music was stronger when the 1968-1980 line-up was still intact, I respect your decision to follow your own muse and do it your own way, and the results are spectacular. For me, seeing and hearingyour solo material live made all the difference.Since the show last week, I've listened more intently toPros & Cons, Radio KAOS, and AmusedTo Death and found a new level of appreciation for those albums, especially Pros & Cons, which I was never really able to get into as deeply before. I wish I had seen your tours for that album and KAOS! I would love to see DVD releases of those tours (hint, hint!).

Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun was THE highlight for me. The song, the visual imagery - it was just one of those perfect moments! Dogs was special too, as well as The Final Cut and solo material.

It is my sincere hope that this tour marksthe dawn of a new and active creative period for Rog. It is obvious that he has so much to offer, and no one else out there can make music the way he does. We need someone to take on the subjects that he does in his writing. He is articulate about the human condition in astyle that connects with many people, the kind who believe that "rock" music can transcend mere entertainment and resonatea deeper meaning. The world has enough pop groups.There is room for some "serious" artists.

Thanks Rog! I look forward to the upcoming live DVD and whatever comes next.

From: JENNY SAMSON
I recently was afforded the opportunity of a lifetime: seeing Roger Waters perform live. I never would have known he was coming had my companion in a bar one night been so boring that I was forced to pick up a local paper and see the advert. All I really wanted was to see him perform "Dogs" live. I got that and a whole lot more.

This young man in front of me said that he had seen Roger in Las Vegas, Portland and now here in the Gorge. He told me, "You're not going to believe your eyes!" I actually did believe my eyes for most of the time (with the exception of the aeroplane), but I understand what he meant. It's hard to put into words what it was like.

The people I was with kept talking to me about how much they were enjoying it, but it was like someone knocking on the door when you're trying to have sex. Every song he performed was like a dream come true, and you could tell he really liked and respected the people in his band.

I've read the other reviews, and I don't care that he gives the same speech about not feeling this connection since the early days of Floyd at every show. I heard an interview with him at the very onset of the tour and he stated bluntly that his purpose was to re-establish that lost connection. Ergo, it would seem perfectly appropriate for him to vocalise that emotion at each show that enabled him to reach his goal level of intimacy. You know, he's not going to say it if he doesn't mean it. I really got the feeling that he was doing this tour for the fans, and I certainly appreciated it.

I wish I could have followed him around like the young man I mentioned earlier: now that I know what it was like, I'd like the chance to see it again. Then I could take everything in, instead of just being stunned by everything I saw and heard.

From: Donald Fisk
I saw the show and it was great. I absolutely loved the jetliner buzzing the crowd, starting the show. blew me away. They timed it jsut right so as that hardly anyone noticed it coming and all the sudden, there it was, loud as hell and right on top of you. Pure genious.

He played alot of Floyd, which of course kept the crowd happy, since I'm not too sure alot of people enjoy his solo career. This may be heretical to you, but I think he's rather boring by himself. He's a great musician and all, but he has a tendancy to repeat himself, as was evidendanced when he played "Amused to Death." Truth in advertising almost.

It was a truely entertaining show, despite the fact that everyone decided to stand up and we coudln't see when they did that, and of course, I ran into somebody whom I have a near psychopathic urge to kill....... but all in all it was the best show I've ever been too!

Just remember, if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.
