Eleven months after buying the tickets, the day finally arrived.
Last night I saw a 67 year old man perform The Wall. He hadn’t performed it for nearly 30 years and his voice finally fitted his music.
I saw Pink Floyd in 1994 at Earls Court and this felt like the missing link. Aside from the music, the show was fabulous – an absolute treat to the senses. The iconic Teacher was menacing, as he was lowered down on to the stage.

As the show progressed, a wall was built, hiding the musicians, onto which projections added to the visual impact.
The finale was the wall coming crashing down.

Given the chance, I would go back for every night of the tour to hear my favourite song ever.
My Dad loves this band and so I love them too as it reminds me of him listening to their albums when I was younger. It is nice to know that the band formed just down the road in ely too :-) Also we had the former band member Barrett in our ward the other year too - he had a stalker who used to call him there poor chap.
ReplyDeleteSounds brilliant. Hard to believe he's approaching 70 (tho the mister here has been a fan since the early days).
ReplyDeleteMy husband has always been a big Pink Floyd fan - he would be very envious of you!
