Roger Waters "The Wall - Live 2010"

[El Dingo]

Meh.

Not as good as the Gorillaz show.

It could have been the 6' 6" 300lb guy sitting next to me texting away the ENTIRE show. His elbow and shoulder kept bumping me as he typed wildly away to someone. Probably about how he's a huge Floyd fan and was so excited about being there. Occasionally he would look up when there was a loud noise then thrust his meaty arm in the general direction of the stage, wildly pointing in case the rest of the audience couldn't see a flaming plane crashing into a wall. He literally only put the phone away during the intermission.

I didn't care for the anti-war additions. I found it broke the flow of the story. 'The Wall' had some subtle anti-government context, but only because Pink blamed war for taking his father away.

I also felt all the good FX were used in the first 30 minutes. The rest of the show had some cool video (especially the illusions of the wall bending and breaking), but no flash pots and lasers. Even the giant puppets were somewhat lethargic.

The musicianship was top-notch and the vocals were strong.

All in all I would probably rather see the movie on an iMAX screen than see that show again.
