Kanada Kev Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Still recovering from last night XX) What a SHOW! The production value was over the top. Incredible projected images/movies on the wall, the massive teacher marionette, Mother, the airplane crashing into the wall, the wicked In The Flesh, etc etc etc Worth every f'in penny for me. There are some YouTube vids up, but they are getting pulled pretty quickly if they are up close and good quality boo you can get an idea of what it was like.

edger Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) SPOILER ALERT!!This show met and surpassed my expectations.I have never seen a stage production like this one. I was intensively reminded of how powerful the message behind the album is, and how profoundly relevant it remains to be today. The imagery was very contemporary and reflected all of the 'bricks' in our modern-day wall. From corporate brands, to political dictators, violent oppressors, passive lemmings, overbearing mothers smothering with their love, rigid structures that quell our creativity. Damn. While it was apparent before, last night's performance reminded me of how scathingly exposing and raw this album was/is/remains.Second set in particular had me reeling. The imagery had me in tears a couple times, from both the sheer sadness/despair and beauty.The energy and anticipation for me became particularly ramped even before the show started and the lights were still on and from way up high I spotted some 'dude' who had managed to get onto the floor with a shopping cart and sign stating 'no mind control' being escorted out by a security guard. At first I just found myself laughing and couldn't help but wonder how effin ironic that is? But I should have probably known better. Caught on quickly when they proceeded past the exit and continued to circulate around the floor. As time went on we began to wonder whether it was Roger himself as said dude was hidden under a hat and glasses and the 'security guard' or 'handler' did not leave his side. Eventually a spotlight began to follow him around but from where we were it was hard to see whether it was actually him or another 'prop'. Did anyone have a better angle to see whether it had indeed been Roger?Anyways, the marionettes were super creepy and poignant. I could go on and on. Anyone who is catching the show tonight or in the future is in for a huge treat!! Edited September 16, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 edger,the homeless dude with the shopping cart and the security guy were props. He had a sign in the cart that read "No Thought Control". He was walking around near where our seats were. Lots of people taking pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Are you sure it didn't say 'no mind control'. I know it would seem obvious that that it would/should say 'thought control' but could have sworn I read the former. Either way, nice touch. I was amazed at how long it seemed to take the crowd to even notice en masse their presence. How were your seats Kev? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Was it really just The Wall then? No encores?Also, how long was the set break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 No encores. But honestly, and I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but an encore would have been anti-climactic. Set break was at least 20 minutes, maybe 30. (plenty of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 edger, We were on the floor in row 32. About half-way back. It was perfect. It was an absolute breeze getting in and out of the show for us too. Security? Left everyone alone around my area and not even a pat-down going into the show. Could partake easily in my seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Yeah it was 'cloudy' in there that's for sure. Sounds like you had similar seats to what we had last time Waters played the ACC. The sound was SOOO powerful from down there. This time round we were on the upper bowl. Pretty good angle for all the visuals, and the sound was still good, but not quite knock you on your ass caliber. But the airplane that ended up crashing into the wall in a firey blaze came directly over our head. The whole surveillance spotlight thing was super cool too.And the particular visual of that one girl reuniting with her father during Vera>Bring the Boys Back Home? Just slayed me.Sorry. I'll stop talking about this. But a dam good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prost Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Wow! What a show!!!
