Rogers Waters Live the point May 07

Wishbone Ash

Andy Fairweather Low and Snowy White were certainly blasts from the past! I thought Fairweather Low was Elvis Costello when he appeared with the hat.

The backing singer's (name?) wailing on 'Great Gig' was top class - identical to Torry's original.

I thought 'Heart of the Sun' was marred by all the latecomers trying to find their seats.

Dearg Doom

Yeah I thought Fairweather Low was either Costello or The Edge:).

Was that snowy white? I know he was there the last time woger played the point but i didnt recognise him last night. And what about the richie blackmore lookalike?

"time" was savage and the vocals from yer wan on "perfect sense" were excellent but i always think the syd images during "shine on.." are a bit tacky

best gig evar! i can die happy.

genuinely the best gig i've ever seen. And i was expecting to be dissappointed.
Serious value for money what with all the lasers, flying pigs and the like.

Was very very good - historic moment to hear all the Floyd big hitters.
Sound wasn't too bad either, a bit boomy and brash (esp. the effects) up front where we were. Band were very good and have such a history behind all of the them (from Thin Lizzy to Clapton). Special effects weren't too over-the-top and the visualisations were generally very good. Thought the laser effects were a bit weak. As expected, the flying pig made an appearance.

Audience were good too, no messing noted up front. Uppers seats on left side a bit flat until the end.

For those that didn;t get there, I reckon this was the playlist:

Set One:
In the Flesh
Mother
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-3)
Have a Cigar
Wish You Were Here
Southampton Dock
The Fletcher Memorial Home
Perfect Sense, Parts 1 and 2
Leaving Beirut
Sheep

Set Two (The Dark Side of the Moon):
Speak to Me
Breathe
On the Run
Time
The Great Gig in the Sky
Money
Us and Them
Any Colour You Like
Brain Damage
Eclipse

Encore:
The Happiest Days of Our Lives
Another Brick in the Wall, Part II
Vera
Bring the Boys Back Home
Comfortably Numb

The Band:
Andy Fairweather-Low - Guitar
Snowy White - Guitar
Dave Kilminster - Guitar/Vocals
Jon Carin - Keyboards/Vocals
Harry Waters - Keyboards
Graham Broad - Drums
Ian Ritchie - Saxophone
Katie Kissoon - Vocals
PP Arnold - Vocals
Carol Kenyon - Vocals

For me, a probable once-in-a-lifetime gig.

Aye, saw him in Denmark last year myself...
Nearly cried watching it, never seen such a perfect gig, so jealous I didnt get to this gig

Was there myself. Brilliant gig. I was expecting it to be more visual but it was just right. Roger was on great form and his band were class. I sometimes wished Roger would sing all the songs, instead of his keoboys. But all in all, magic.

Also, did anyone think the backdrop/graphic during Leaving Beirut was a bit sappy? 'These people have nothing and they share what they have..'. Ahhh..

Yeah brilliant gig, for me the worst part was the Beiruit song, graphics really annoyed me, went to the bar, all in all very good

I was there last night too, thought it was brilliant. RW has great respect for the other musicians, stands back and they all get the limelight for their solo's, etc. It really was all about the music.

I agree with the Beirut Song comments and the bit about the singing too.

I was in the standing area near the front. Wow, I was pretty impressed myself. Felt like I was part of history that night.
