This show was INCREDIBLE. Finally had a chance to see Roger, so now, I have seen ALL of Pink Floyd. And yes, despite what the naysayers will spout, Waters IS Pink Floyd. And having Snowy White on guitars was a added bonus. This man can play and makes it look effortless. His touring band was great and solid.

Visuall, audible, totally TOP NOTCH. 3D video(without the damn glasses!!), and sound that had stuff coming at you from ALL directions.

The venue is top notch and set up well. The only *negative* is that if you want to hit the facilities during a break, leave before the set is over. A nightmare to get in and out in the alloted time(well that and the pinheads NOT moving forward in the throng).

A nice bonus for me was that the rain stayed away. I monitored the weather the whole week previous, and when we left that morning, they were calling for T-Storms. Thankfully, a nice breeze came up and moved it out.

Funny moment during the show --- When "Diamond" started playing, the video screen had images of Syd Barrett. My friend and I scanned the crowd to see who really knew who he was. Suddenly, someone in front of us blurted out.....who's that on the screen? Jeesh.......read a little before heading out to a show already!!

I had a great few weeks seeing Rush, Asia, Zebra and Waters. Not often I get to see such a collection of talent in such a short time. Live music.....GOTTA LOVE IT!!!

That's right Paul...I forgot you were going to see Waters. Glad it was a good time. And you are so right...Live RocknRoll....SWEET!

You're just a party animal Paul. Good thing you don't drink.

Been there, done that.....almost "bought the farm". I'll have one on occassion, but nothing to the extremes I used to do.

Looks like a great show. I noticed he didn't do Pigs. I wonder if that is only because he lost his prop for that? I love Roger, but for me it is hard hearing him do the Dark Side of the Moon with David Gilmour's vocals. It just doesn't sound right. Also nothing from Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking and Radio Waves. That's too bad as well as those are great albums. I would actually rather hear that stuff than DSOTM with Roger singing.

The prop(pig) is alive and well......it came out during "Sheep", aglow with his bleeding heart liberal shots at Bush and his "endorsement of that communist Obama. Strange thing though(and the more I think of it, this might have been planned).....someone let go of the ropes on the pig and it flew out of the pavillion. Probably happened cause they're heading back to Europe and he'll have to make a new one up to bash Tony Blair.....

Can't believe you were here and I didn't hear about it. The Pavillion is about 12 miles from my home.
