That sums up the Waters concert. Brilliant music, brilliant sound. The visual effects were below what I had expected, but the music was simply outstanding. Very professional, very Waters.
He played selections from The Wall, Animals, Wish You Were Here, A Saucerful of Secrets, Dark Side of the Moon, Amused to Death, Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking and a few others I couldn't recognize. There was a new song called The Flickering Flame at the end.
Thought: the world is divided into
- those who think The Dark Side of the Moon is the best Floyd album
- those who believe its The Wall
- and those who know its Wish You Were Here
Current book - Anil's Ghost by Michael Ondaatje
How's the stage architecture?Brilliant?Waters is a architect I belive and he is very particular about his stage design.
ReplyDeleteWell, the stage did have a narrow raised platform at the back where Waters could walk up and play, above the rest of the band members. There was a screen in the background which displayed video snippets from the songs. I dont know if this was something special.
ReplyDeleteNice comparison - all albums being post-Barrett and pre-split. WYWH is my favourite too :)
ReplyDeleteBtw, how is 'Anil's Ghost'? I was in two minds at the library last week. Then based on the bad experience of 'The English Patient', I decided against taking it.
..how is 'Anil's Ghost'?..
ReplyDeleteNot too good. I've covered a third of the book and didnt find anything great. The style is quite similar to The English Patient which I didnt like either.
Maybe next time. Thanks anyway. :-)
