It was incredible, I think I do not need to say this. The show was basically the same as the American tour. The only difference I could detect is a longer "Shine on", with all the parts included. Chester Kamen, for my taste, is too noisy and dirty playing, and for some solos (for example,"Shine") he doesn't have still the correct melodies, but I trust he will improve that during the tour. The solo parts were equally divided between him and Snowy, who did an outstanding work in spite of his limitations. Snowy is a clean bluesman, while Kamen is a distortion lover, but an accomplished slide player, which came out perfect.
The overall show was good enough; Roger sang as good as he can now, did the regular voice syncing on "Every stranger's eyes", to my frustration, and his voice failed a bit in a song or two ("In the flesh", for example). For me, the most incredible part of the show was the second half, with the new stuff. I was breathless. The sound system is incredible. The highest point, again from my point of view, was "Perfect Sense", with the crowd (about 40000 people) shouting at the same time "Can't you see?" and an histrionic Roger going up and down the stage with the hands moving like saying "come on". The images that ran behind him in the giant wall were amazing. I was particulary moved during "Southampton Dock", with the poppy fields with anonymous faces painted on them, and the crosses brought pain to the people that are still thinking in the Falklands. When he said "Galtieri took the Union Jack", an incredible, constant whistle came out of the crowd and took Roger by surprise. He didn't play the new song, and played "Each small
candle" instead. Here I am, still shocked, dazed and
confused. A truly unique experience. Roger performed in front of a giant screen where
images of the film " The Wall " were projected .
Dressed in black the Roger Waters, remembered the great successes of
Pink Floyd before 40,000 people The spectacle began on time but later there was
rain. There were also delays getting into the
venue. In a climate of nostalgia and emotion, the
musician Roger Waters touched last night, before a
stage of overwhelmed Vélez, the classic
subjects of his old Pink band Floyd. Theshow In the Flesh, began with the mythical
subject " The Wall ". The British musician crossed around 20 classic
songs of the band that madehim famous: " Another
brick in the wall ", " Mother ", " Money ", " Time
" was some of favorites. When they played " Shine
on you crazy diamond " an image of Pink Floyd
founder Syd Barrett was projected to thunderous
applause from the audience. The spectacle began precise, to 20,30, with many
problems for the organisers, since many of the
public had still not been able to enter. The impeccable quadraphonic sound system and the
wonderful effects made up fot the dismal
weather. Then it started to
rain While watching the show suddenly lightning was
added to the sound effects to loud cheers from the
crowd. Then comforting rain ended a night of
intense heat. The musician was supported by a great luminance
infrastructure with visual effects and a great
giant screen that the back of the stage occupied,
where projected the classic iconographies of the
film " The Wall ", as the flying cemeteries of
crossings, pigs, left factories, full fields of
flowers and panoramic views of destroyed
cities. The bassist - dressed black , was joined by his
son Harry Waters and eight other musicians.
