The Wall - a must-see concert.

February 7, 2012 8:32:24 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

Melbourne, Tuesday night....Rod Laver Arena.....

Whole bunch of 50-somethings in the audience....packed house..... Roger Waters at his brilliant best.

The 'light show' alone was worth it.

Stick it on your 'bucket list'....

Can't believe it was 5 years ago I saw him last....

This makes the 3rd tour [solo] I got to after Floyd all those years ago [at that one I was about 4 rows back...with Gilmour right there in front of me.

This time it was just behind and to the left of the 'Mixer'.....you NEEDED to be back far enough just to see it all....

My dad (who is in his 50's) and I saw him in concert a few years ago as well. Love Pink Floyd. The Wall was my nursery rhyme.

You mean the Alan Parker movie or the original concert? The movie was freakin' amazing, in a wonderfully messed up way.

Have my tickets (for May) already.  My vanity plate for many years was 'CNUMB'.  Two Floyd notches in my concert belt so far, 2 solo Waters.

myfist0 ...yes, I've seen 'them' every time they've been to Australia, singly or together....except the very first time in the 70's [I think it was.....didn't have the money].

2 Tickets to the Wall cost me $458.20 AUD ....that'll be about 480-90 USD these days..... but worth every penny.

As for 'every time'....even saw Nick Mason in Adelaide one year....at the Grand Prix....he's a 'petrol head'.....[almost as much as Jay Leno]...

Haha. The Stones did that in a small blues bar in Toronto.

I think it was their 45th reunion tour

aww, not enough money to see them play money

Little River Band did the same thing in Scottsdale one year - small place with room for about 150.  Blew us away.  Saw them again a few years later at a small theater when they'd gone all Vegas lounge act - really weird.

I was on this concert last April in Prague. It was very nice experience indeed. Although shortly after that, i was not very pleased, i thought the sound was bit shit, it was inside the hockey arena. But now, with a bit of retrospect, i have only good memories on it, it was truly a once-in a lifetime experience.

 This summer i am going to Brucie Springsteen, to Prague again. I suppose the PinkFloyd music is more my cup of a tea, but i am sure, i am going to like this as well. Especially, if he is going to sing this:

Wut? I paid 70 EUROs i think, for one "standing" ticket down on the floor (not sitting in the stands). It was that concert, where the german plane hits the wall in the beginning and then they rebuild it slowly. projecting various things on the wall, like faces of the people, who died in Iraq?

Okay, $100 bucks for nose bleeds to The Wall. Worth it?

Yup

Close to the stage you don't get to see the whole show as well.

Outside they sound much better IMO.
