tenayaIt was a pretty good show. They performed The Wall in its entirety, with encores of Time, The Great Gig in the Sky, Brain Damage, and Wish You Were Here. The two songs that really got the crowd on their feet were Comfortably Numb and Run Like Hell. True to what I'd heard, they recreated the sound of Pink Floyd nearly flawlessly. The light show was smaller but they recreated the feel of it, the drama, and the emotional beats. And of course, seeing/hearing Roger Waters ode to smothered individualism and consumerism dusted heavily with war images and the ennui was indeed art because it made me think and take a change of perspective on current issues.
At least I'm not Pink.
Speaking of Pink, when he's up there in that long duster with his hands on his hips, I can't help but think of Capt. Jack Harkness. *g* Ah, fandom; it's an apple that once you've taken a bite from, nothing will ever be quite the same.
ETA: Forgot to mention the awesome inflatable pig with glowing red eyes that menaced the left side of the stage. It was more of a wicked looking boar than a domestic swine. Very cool looking.
