Nope lol. Money is pretty low being newly married and a mortgage haha. My concert money for last yr went to foo fighters. 2 days before the concert I got a really nasty virus that attacked my liver so I didn't even get to go to that!

Man that sucks. I heard the fooies were great. I know the feeling about the newly married and mortgage, my last concert was U2 and BB King in 1989!

I'll lend you my Ipod Tea Lady, it has every Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Richard Wright CD on it. You can play it in the shed, I'm sure won't mind

We already listen to Pink floyd! I think: I'm sure a song turned up on a random day once!

But I still wouldn't mind the ipod. I need to put something decent on my son's ipod.

Just got home from the show, absolutely fan-bloody-tastic.

My turn to tonight, can't wait.

Had a great night the CGI is very impressive we were looking straight at the stage and able to see the whole thing unfold.
It is amazing that all this was done 30 years ago and all the things are still relevent today.

Mother, should I trust the government...........

Look Mommy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky...

It's 1:30 in the morning and I'm still processing what I witnessed tonight. I have waited 25 years to see "The Wall" and was a little concerned that I had built it up too much in my mind and may be disappointed. I was very very wrong. What an amazing concert. In fact concert is not a suitable word to describe it. This is nothing short of a theatrical experience. The music of course was awesome but it is this combined with the stunning visual effects that sets this apart.

Roger was great, his band were great, and unlike some aging singers he was not afraid to use his excellent backup singers to help out when needed. I loved "Mother", where he did a duet with his 30 year younger version of himself. "Run like Hell" was a crowd favourite as was "Part 2". My favourite song on the album is "Hey You" and as expected this was done from behind the wall, with some smart visuals to really give it feeling. Some powerful anti war messages delivered well and he stayed true to the original "Wall" concept, both metaphorically and literally. The visuals were nothing short of incredible, and cleverly used to disguise stage changes to keep you immersed in the experience.

I had a cheap seat right up the back corner, second last row, but the beauty of Rod Laver Arena is that every seat is a good one.

If you can see this one do it. If you can't get the DVD when it comes out and immerse yourself in the experience.
