I saw Roger Waters' The Wall live last night.
Aaaaaaaaaaa-ma-hay-zing!!
I listened to The Wall every day during high school. It was an album that defined my adolescence. Seeing it live was just...it changed my life. I have no other words for it.
If he's coming to your city, you best go see it!

ayeup.
The show I saw in Tampa last year was exactly as you described it:
I remember a fellow behind me commenting at the end of the Comfortably Numb solo, even though David Gilmour was not a guest at our show, "I can die complete now."

Beorn and Hyperception sat together in the tickets I scored via the rogerwaters.com lottery, and I sat alone in the nose bleed seat I managed to get when the few remaining seats opened up to the public. Even so, I was totally blown away, as those who are friends with me on Facebook saw from the posts to my wall I sent via FB texts during the show.JazFusion wrote:Aaaaaaaaaaa-ma-hay-zing!!

Absolutely null! He's better than the Amused to Death era.
I had the privilege of seeing Roger Waters earlier this year and it was without a doubt the greatest show I've ever seen. Such a great sound, and Roger was a shadow of his former self - in a good way!

Curious. How does it compare with Australian Pink Floyd? I saw them on TV and they were mind-blowingly awesome. But then, I never saw Floyd live.
I do remember seeing the film, The Wall, in theaters when it came out. My friends and I came out totally bummed out and depressed.

The Wall, performed in Berlin in 1990(?) was an amazing concert. So many great acts joined in. I had that concert on VHS and wore it out watching it so many times.wayfriend wrote:Roger Waters mulls performing Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' at U.S.-Mexico border [link]
Actually saw his latest Wall tour back on Oct. 30, 2010 in Kansas City. So much awesomeness!
Speaking of Roger Waters... in case you missed it, he's not a fan of Trump

There is commentary before the concert starts, they stopped the show and had to "re-start" the concert, aftershow interviews, trivia, ...
3 HOURS of recording!

That, and the Freddie Mercury tribute, were quite the eclectic ensembles. Van Morrison doing Comfortably Numb, Liza Minnelli doing We Are The Champions ... Good times, good times.

I have a VHS of that concert I guess it's hiding somewhere in the garage...
I liked some of the combinations, others not so much. I liked Sinead O'Connor's version of Mother, and Bryan Adams' Young Lust. I wasn't so keen on Cyndi Lauper's version of Another Brick in the Wall, or Van Morrison's Comfortably Numb.
