Roger Waters Concert 7/2/2007
Well what can I say....bloody fantastic. If you missed the show do yourself a favour and get over to Perth for Friday's last show in Oz. You won't regret it one bit.
I've grown up listening to a lot of music and Pink Floyd would be one of the biggest portions of that. Albums that introduced me were Atom Heart Mother, Meddle and DSOTM. So when Roger Waters comes out to Australia there's absolutely no hesitation getting the tickets.
So we got there promptly, me and a couple of good mates, snuffled a souvenir programme for $40 (btw T-Shirt start @ $45).
I advise you to get there in plenty of time as the show starts promptly with a short 20 minute break before DSOTM and encore.
I knew Roger wouldn't do less than his best for a memorable show, and he didn't disappoint anyone, in fact a lot of us had the expectations exceeded well and truly. The song list, the pyrotechnics, the
Subwoofers, the Pig, the Spaceman, the lyrics, the Music.
The set list was as previously disclosed in other reviews so I won't harp anymore except to say that when it comes to the end of the night you always want even one more and ........but still I'm happy.
Brilliant musicians all round especially on Set the Controls I thought.
And to hear a new song from Roger, Leaving Beirut, was a perfect inclusion in the set and everyone felt support for his lyrical sentiments. He's certainly still got those great songwriting skills.
On the lean side I thought Roger could chat some more ad lib rather than stick to the script, and perhaps less of the radio.
But who am I to lessen the show? For 3 hours inside the Adelaide Entertainment Centre with Roger Waters playing solely for me and my mates, what more can you ask for?
Shine on you crazy diamond.....shine on Adelaide again real soon you hear (even if it is a bit far to come)!
