Saw Roger Waters last night. I had never seen Waters before and even though my brother hyped if as the best show EVER, I was not disappointed. His voice has really held up well; he sounds exactly the same as always. The show was mostly Pink Floyd, with a few Waters solo songs, a couple from the new album. The first half was really solid, outstanding musicianship, but nothing spectacular as far as the set, or any surprised. The children who performed during Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2 were incredible, especially after learning they never got the tape beforehand and learned the whole routine right before the show! but after the intermission, oh my gosh! I can’t even explain! This contraption, which Just looked like an ordinary light rigging, starts lowering over the audience’s heads, and then expands upward tho become a series off giant, and I mean giant, projection screens! I don’t want to give any more spoilers, you can check it out on YouTube.
