Roger Waters plays Dark Side of the Moon

No I'm sorry I can't. The first half did contain a couple of additional songs I think that I was not familiar with. The rest is as I have already said. I'm not sure if the set list was printed in the program which looked like an extensive quality document. As they were Aus.$40 each, I let it go. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Can you tell me the complete SETLIST of this concert in autralia?

Roger gave away his age to the extent that he allowed us with simple maths to work out that he is nearly 60 and so, not unlike Ian Anderson, his voice was far from pristine. He handled the lower register songs quite well considering and they either had some effect on his voice to fill out the sound on the upper register work or one of the backing vocalists sang the octave, with Roger taking the low end. It actually worked quite well and didn't detract from his performance or sound imo. Some lead vocals were taken by John Carin who sings very nicely and othes [e.g. 'Money'] were handled well by this mystery guitarist.

A good question though because if anyone wanted to find a negative, this perhaps would be it. It wasn't for me though.

I had the very great pleasure of seeing RW and his incredible band in Sydney [Aust.] on 25/1 on the southern hemisphere leg of his world tour of this show and it was nothing short of sensational. He's in Melbourne for 2 shows and Brisbane and he's off to South America and parts of South East Asia before heading off to Europe. Check out the concert dates and venues on his website.

It is difficult to find one single negative about this concert. The complete DSOTM segment which started the 2nd. half of the concert was amazing and well worth the price of admission alone altho. there was much more on the play list than that.

The first half included a cross section of songs similar to those featuring on the 'In the Flesh' DVD and included 'Set Your Controls...', 'Mother', 'Shine on...','Wish you Were Here' and some from 'Animals' complete with the flying pig.It also included what RW described as a new song based on his hitch- hiking and travel experiences in the Middle East as a teenager when his car broke down and he and his companion were taken in by a Lebanese family, an experience which he said in retrospect effectively changed his life. The lyrics then developed this vitriolic attack on the USAs and UK's attitude to the middle east which was carried on in other songs which attacked the US involvement in Iraq and allowed him to make extremely pointed criticism of the worlds phanatical leaders over the years with George W. taking pride of place - very powerful and thought provoking stuff.[One wonders how it would go down with the CIA in the 'States].

The visuals and light show were also amazing. Obvious highlights for me were the powerful 'Us and Them', 'Time ' and Carole Kenyon's interpretation of the scat vocal in 'The Great Gig in the Sky'.The encore of 'Another Brick...' followed by the chilling 'Comfortably Numb', the atmosphere of which was contributed to by the extraordinary visuals were fantastic. The 15,000 odd crowd just went off.

John Carin's keyboards were spot on, Andy Fairweather-Low was irrepressible, Snowy White's laid back lead guitar work was a joy and Graham Broad's powerful drumming was very solid. Unfortunately I did not catch the name of the other lead guitarist and vocalist who was also very skilled and seemlessly eased into his solo and vocal work.

RW himself seemed genuinely humbled by the audience response and he established an excellent rapport with the audience, despite it's size.


Anyone who has the oppotunity to see this wonderful concert that spans the best part of 3 hours and misses it has no-one else but themself to blame.

JUST GET THERE!
