It's All Just Bricks in The Wall

Geordie and I  have been to quite a few big name concerts. Seeing Roger Waters nee Pink Floyd's The Wall has always been on my must see list.  Geordie and I saw him when he did Dark Side of the Moon and it was amazing and The Wall was no less then 3 hours of mind-freak fantasticness.  We were stressing about getting in as we had showed up half an hr early and there was a 45 minute wait. Security processing was glacial and problematic. A serious problem as the concert had started and there was still lots of people outside. We made it by the skin of our teeth.  So 'Boo' to bad ticket taking setup but 'Yah' to instantly on the scene medics who aided someone who had gotten badly hurt outside.

Thanks to Chris Arnott who lent us a little point and shoot. Not the best quality camera but we knew we would not be allowed in with our professional gear. The photo below was taken during the polyrhythmic 'Bring the Boys Back Home'. Projections were put on the ever growing wall of Pink's (Roger Waters) isolation. They did some really neat stuff with the lighting and puppetry. A very visual show.

It's not a PF show without a floating pig.  And quasi-Nazi costumes.  And marching hammers. And a gun that fires very convincing blanks. You could see the shells coming out! Our seats were pretty good being just slightly to stage left directly across. Though in the photo below it looks like the hammer flags are drapped over the wall it is actually light projections. On the right behind the scaffolding you can see Waters firing that gun. I like that concerts are filming and projecting the performers so those in the nose bleeds can see.  Oh and they also crashed a plane  into flames onto the stage but I was too busy saying 'GAH!' to grab the camera. So if you ever get a chance go see!
