Great gig!
Unfortunately the random seat move from upper to lower level put me stuck behind a loud obnoxious d-bag in section 109 who couldn't sing but did so anyway, I didn't come for your awful version of Comfortably Numb, STFU!

Otherwise amazing

I was in the east (307 i think), and there was this drunk wan singing oggy oggy oggy, and the roof the roof. WTF like!

Was in 307 row h, can confirm presence of drunken numpties who wandered in from a lost venga boys concert somewhere.

You're not alone.. WAs standing and some people thought it'd be hilarious to ask if we were at mass and why were we all standing around.. And then some other plank who kept shouting "Booooooooooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"

Thought it was an absolutely brilliant show, really good and the sound where I was was excellent too!

Visually it is probably the greatest show I have ever seen and would go again, In the Flesh kicked it off perfectly and a highlight for me was Comfotably Numb, it was epic

Not really, would depend on how well you know the source material though, was there with my Da and his partner, Da and i would be big Floyd fans, she loved the spectacle even though she didn't know the music.

Couple in front of us, they were only there cos she bought him tickets for his bday.. At the start, she didn't want to be there.. By the end she didn't want to leave..

The show was unreal. Waters is a hero!

Was a 100% improvement from the last gig in the O2 (bad sound, packed crowd, no decent views of the stage due to the set up). Stadiums tours suit The Wall much much better.

Are there any "PARANOIDS" in the stadium tonight??

Excellent concert, I was in the west premium, think it was the first block. Really good view of the wall, but couldn't see the circle screen behind the stage. Didn't really matter tbh and I'd be happy with those seats again.
Some show though, the guy can still sing.
The inflatable pig made it back to Drogheda, saw a mates picture of it on facebook. Hopefully they re-inflate it and use it for something!

IMO I'd rather go see Waters do his old best of Pink Floyd show...the tributes(aussie/Brit Floyd) offer a better visual show than I seen at the O2 and just as good musically.

Ah here, aussie floyd show is a joke compared to the O2 gig. I saw aussie floyd within about a month of the O2 gig and after that decided I'll never bother my hole with a tribute band again.

was the pig being taken down by the crowd not part of the show?

i was thinking it was the people taking down the symbol of fascism and oppression or maybe it was the funny ciggies

mad one if some dudes from Drogheda pulled that one off , would look good over scotch hall

Anyone happen to get the very start of the show on video?

That's damn good quality... (especially the screamer haha)

gouche

Honestly, that opening is something I'll remember for the rest of my life!
Some serious production - loved every minute of it.:D

Valaquenta

Not one to use text speak usually but OMG. That was unreal. Goosebumps aplenty. Just Wow!!

Only gripe was the intermission and not getting to sleep til 3

gouche

Couple of videos I took.

Shaky in some parts and I missed the plane at the end of In the Flesh.

Ended up getting a piece of the pig, was a crowd in front of me having a tug of war tearing it to pieces, mad craic

Excellent gig, the sound was amazing for out door gig

Quality stuff.

Was seated in the golden circle in the middle . The seated crowd where very calm. Which worked very well for me.

A chance to sit down and really listen to the show in relative comfort.

Very well organised by the Aviva staff as well.


BUT. I personally thought the O2 show was better and more absorbing. Maybe it was because it was fresh the first time.

AdMMM

I was completely blown away.

Unbelieveable.

The show must go on !!!!









Roger dedicated the show to Jean Charles de Menezes

excellent video! thanks for putting it up,

It's fabulous to be able to look back on the videos, hawkwind23 and gouche, and photos, rednik.

I was keeping an eye out for the plane, I knew that from 2011 that it flies in on the right hand side of the stage!!:)

The show must go on Pt II
