The complete package, Roger outdid himself tonight. Much more impressive than his 2005/6? Dark Side tour. (Which was also fantastic, but on a much smaller scale) He seemed really into the gig, and truly appeared to be enjoying himself. His banter was generally positive, even the "Well it's been 33 years since I spit on one of you!" seemed happy enough.

 

A little too heavy on the anti-War sentiments at times, and maybe not focused on the alienation themes quite as much as expected.

 

It's important to watch this production head on, preferably from the floor to truly absorb everything going on, on the Wall. The projectors/images used are top notch. Worth going to the show for the video/effects alone. The music and stage show were mere icing on the cake. I suddenly enjoy "Young Lust" a lot more than previously.

 

A truly breathtaking and artistic experience. Worth every one of the 250$ spent on the ticket! Am kicking myself that I did not attend both Montreal shows...

 

(T-Shirts weren't too shabby either!) "TRUST US"

 

I recommend catching this .... it's like seeing Misha, or Nureyev, or Tebaldi, or Karajan, or Bernstein ... it's a once in a lifetime opportunity and almost none of the bands listed in this board will ever have, or create anything half as important or meaningful as a lot of this work.

 

I imagine that Roger would probably hammer the anti-war sentiment a little harder, though I don't think he needs to but it's theme is more important today than "alienation" ... when the original "Wall" came out I think that people were abit tired and fed up with the whole IRA/VietNam thing ... and it still lingered but it was not as important. Today, with the internet, the whole "alienation" thing is a joke for people that have no personalities. But the point can still be made that the opiate of the people is the "Internet" and when it comes to anything else ... we might not care enough ... right or wrong.
