(or 100% if you ask Roger or count his ego!)

LOL

Yes, of course it was the current Roger Waters Tour, where he performs "Dark Side of the Moon." I've seen lots of concerts, and have loved Pink Floyd since high school (1970's!) but Wednesday night was my first Pink Floyd related show. This was one of the very best concerts I've ever been to, and definitely the best sound quality I've ever experienced. I thought the 1st set a little laid back, even with a rocker like "Have a Cigar." The opener, "In the Flesh," was awesome, and while the rest of the 1st set was undeniably good, something was missing. I can't really put my finger on it, I thought maybe one had to be high on pot to appreciate it more. I'm glad I was forewarned, by reading other reviews, about "Leaving Beriut." I enjoyed this song very much, but not so sure I would have if I wasn't prepared for it. The second set, however, was a different story. The intensity level soared, and it was amazing. DSOTM was done so perfectly that in some spots I started to feel tears well up in my eyes. It WAS Pink Floyd. (During "Money" I remarked that I missed David Gilmour's presence, and I felt his absence on one other occasion, can't remember, but other than that, it WAS Pink Floyd! To me, anyway) Did it go by fast! I remarked that it reminded me of the old days when an album couldn't be more than around 40 minutes long, because it was on vinyl (DSOTM is 43 min, I think). "Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2" was fantastic, accompanied by a boys choir, and they did a great job, they were well rehearsed, and their presence fit with the lyrics, of course. "Comfortably Numb" was great as well. I can't believe how great the sound quality was, especially considering we were in a huge arena. It's the best I've ever experienced.
