Oh yeah...bought my tickets last November....for the Sat. June 23rd show at the Rogers Centre here in Toronto....can't wait....

Went to Houston last year to see it. Pretty spectacular show all around, more than just a concert. Very cool effects projected on the wall as it was constructed. Ticket prices aren't cheap so we decided to pass as it comes this way again this year. Enjoy the show!

saw the show last year in the UK and I was speaking to one of the techies who told me the visuals cost around £20 million.

I'd love to see it, I don't see anything anywhere near Houston or anywhere in TX.

Sorry, it has already come and gone. Was in Houston on 5/1 and Austin 5/3.

Who plays guitar and is everything played note for note with same guitar tones? A smart guitarist would not try to play everything note for note but stretch things a little because then the music just becomes a comparison and automatic critique stirs up in your head (ie. Joe Satriani w/Deep Purple who wasn't into mimicking/copying Ritchie Blackmore but just had fun with the music).

Did you see the last Wall Tour?

I will be seeing this show on Monday night - taking my dad for an early fathers day gift. Looking forward to it.

I went to the last one. You will enjoy it for sure. Words can't describe this show, that's how good it is. I had floor seating, maybe 40 rows back.

Our turn is fast approaching...just can't wait.... In a few weeks we'll be seeing the the Black keys....looking forward to that as well. I woulda loved to see Radiohead's show this Friday but concert going starts to add up ...especially when having to buy tickets for 4.

Crazy show last night. If this passes anywhere near you, go see it.

The show was freaking awesome....visually it was a masterpiece and it sounded incredible...IMO more of an opera of sorts not just a concert. The wall was or stage was MASSIVE in a baseball configuration it extends from dead centre all the way to right field. For me the show could have ended after comfortably numb but hearing the whole album in its entirity was something special and I'll always remember..nor soon forget.....

Here are some lousy pics taken from our BB...
Ps:These were some of the better shots....

I went to the last one, and I am going this thursday in Albany. Wouldn't miss this show for anything the world, it was awesome wasn't it? What did you think at the start of the show? Was the homeless guy with the shopping cart there?

 

[billy p]

The start of the show with all the pyrotechnics and lasers was exciting for all but like I said eariler certain songs like Young Lust, Comfortably Numb, Run like Hell, Another Brick in the wall and a very touching moment came when he sang along to Mother while footage in the background was playing the video taken from Earls Court in 1980 and Waters telling the crowd that he was a miserable f....bastard and how he is now a changed man and embraces his fans and large crowded places like this....sure wish he had never left PF...but this concert was a 10/10....

Ps: No homeless guy in the Rogers centre but plenty of them could be found outside...

I said to myself, how did this guy even get in here. Security all around him trying to get him out. People where giving him money. I even hit him off with $5.00. My son said this guy is in good shape and has a nice set of teeth for a homeless guy. Well it was that he was part of the show. During who is Sparatcus they mustered him out past the front of the stage, he reached in his shopping cart took a pink doll out of it and threw it on the stage, that's when the show started at full power. Was the beginning of the show a rush or what?

Yesterday was my day, 12th row. Simply awesome.

You attended the 2010 tour....the 2012 version seems to be drawing larger crowds & playing bigger venues. Anything different this time around or maybe... just maybe... it never gets old.

Ps: I missed the (3) shows that kicked off the 2010 tour....I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity again. This show is a MUST see for any fans of the album & PF in general....

Very little changes, if any as the 2010 tour. I think he added one acoustic song, but I am not sure. It's a little different when you see it the second time. The first time it was like mind blowing. Yesterday was great, but not as exciting as when you see it for the first time. I had my two boys with me, one is a DJ for a Hip-Hop radio station and he was blown away. He said this show changed my life.

I cannot believe I missed this show. We a group of us were going to go when we heard the announcement of the show and it came and went and never made it. May never get another chance.
