The Lord Thy Rog - The Wall tour in the UK

[WiteWulf]

Whereabouts are your seats, Dave? We're in "section CBL103, row R", wherever that is....I'm guessing it's the big, red, block 103 on here:

It was good, but tbh I enjoyed the gig I saw at Hyde Park about 5 years ago more. (Paid more for that one, too, as I went with my gf at the time and paid for both tickets.) At that one he did DSotM, with Nick Mason on drums. The sound quality was outstanding - better than this one, I think - and the atmosphere was incredible (seemed a little muted at this one, by comparison).

The scale of this one, and the reliance on the huge projections and puppets, made it seem a bit impersonal, but I guess that was the point. Anyway, still a great gig - I'm glad I saw it, maybe not quite so glad about the cost of the ticket - but Hyde Park is the one that goes down as the best gig I've ever seen.

I was in block A1, row X, btw - the back row of the front left floor block.

Aye, we were right in front of the sound desk for that show. That surround rig of theirs is incredible for outdoor shows. The helicopter fx for the Wall stuff and sheep, pigs and dogs were just amazing. Shame there'll be no Animals material at this show, my face album in all honesty...

I can't remember - I *think* it's block 109 or 110, about midway up (further back than we were at the O2, but at least fairly central). I'll have a shufty when I get home!

Well, close-ish. Block 107!

Properly getting excited again now...

Just seen the Manchester one tonight.

I can sum it up very easily: best gig ever

We're just getting the 5 minute call for the second half. Oh my god, amazing show so far. Nicely updated and political and none of the holier than thou attitude from the Dark Side tour. Can't wait for Comfortably Numb, I might explode. Oh, and Snowy White's blown Dave Kilminster off the stage every solo so far, which is no mean feat!

I think it's fair to say that Dave K well and truly got his sweet, sweet revenge in the second half, mind... Comfortably Numb was even more awesome than it had been in London - in fact ol' Rog seemed even more playful at Manc than he did last week. Now there's a sentence I didn't ever think I'd be typing...

Awesome show (again). I'm still lit up like a man-sized supernova here. Simply the most amazing gigs, words are just not fit for purpose... .

Dave K's a fine guitarist and his work with Waters is ace but the best I've seen him play was Greg Lake's guitar and vocal parts with Keith Emerson when they did Tarkus a few years back. Amazing stuff.
