Do you want to know how it was???

IT WAS FUCKING GODLIKE!!! Waters has never been better. If I were to say that it was the best show I have ever seen, that would be the understatement of the century. I won't give much away but everything is there and the new animations were the best I have ever seen on a tour. And considering that I am a touring video guy who does video for a major act, I know what I am talking about. Rog put my stuff to shame.

Some of the highlights were Rog dueting with himself on Mother with video from the original Wall tour. The showing of the Wikileaks video during Run Like Hell, and the video of a little girl being reunited with her father coming back from Iraq during Bring The Boys Back Home. Grown men were bawling their eyes out, including me.

Rog flipped the storyline from his own obsession with the walls that divided him from his audience to the walls that divide us all, it was nothing short of brilliance.

I'm looking into flying to London for the O2 shows. Gilmour is going to play and they are making a DVD. If I can get a ticket I'm going.

The best thing is, no matter how good you are expecting it to be, it will exceed your imagination.

On edit: I have one very minor complaint. If you have seen Waters or Floyd before you know one of the highlights is the quality of the quad sound. Well this time the quality was fine but the speakers were all lined up down the center of the arena with the sound spilling out in every direction. Because of my seats on the side I did not get the full surround sound effect. That said it had no bearing on the show, it was still the best rock concert ever.
