I was invited this afternoon to accompany a co-worker whose wife can't make it to the show. I politely declined. I don't really care for said co-worker.

You could have lost him in the confusion. |

My understanding was that they were doing Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety and then greatest hits. Methinks "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2" was in there somewhere. |

Yep, you heard right spacey.
Highlights. The lady who does the Claire Torry bit on TGGITS brought the roof down. Unbelievable. The solo on STCFTHOTS knocked my socks off. Shine On is always great (they traditionally open with it) with Syd's photos on the center screen drawing a standing-o.
For close to three hours these guys just absolutely nailed it. The lights and lasers and imagery on the screen were fantastic. The blow-up pig and kangaroo (easy stroh, no orifices) are a great touch and a crowd favorite.
By the way, we had easily the best seats in the house - beating even front row center IMO.
Order of songs after intermission is approximate but I do think I got them all.
(open)
DSOTM - start to finish
(intermission)
Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Learning To Fly
Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
Pigs (Three Different Ones)
Nobody Home
On The Turning Away
One Of These Days
Wish You Were Here
Take It Back
Another Brick In The Wall - Part II
Comfortably Numb
(encore)
Young Lust
Run Like Hell
To top it all off, I knew Run Like Hell would be the last song so when it was about half over we left. It took us two minutes to get out of the parking lot. By the time we went around the corner and got on the freeway the line was hundreds of cars long. Front front row risers to 75 mph was no more than 6-7 minutes. Woot.

It's way different these days. Well, it's way different when you go to shows that I go to. Everyone is 50. LOL. I don't go to concerts much. I've seen these guys twice, Eagles, Clapton, Halen and Rush once each in the past ten years. Other than a Floyd/Zep/Who reunion tour that makes it to SLC (fat chance) I'm pretty much done with concerts. Plus the prices. Holy chit. I had front row for Women and Children First in '80 for $7. My beer last night was $8. |

I, too, haven't been to a real concert in years.  Do people really hold up cellphones now instead of lighters?  |
