A great show , great effects , nice to see the pig is back and flying,
All in all a great show no gripes, apart from not enough loo`s and having to leg it to cat the start of the second half.

I think the prompt start caught a few people out - also I was supprised at the number of people who left early. But like you said it was a great show with great music and great effects

He was brilliant - it was the first time I had seen him play and he had a hell of alot of presence!! I was and still am a Gilmour fan, but have warmed to Waters immensly! The Pig was great - I want it and then would fly it from the roof of my house! The pyramid was also great!!! In fact everything was great !

One annoying person though - some guy was standing on the balcony area of the tiered seating shouting down his mobile phone whilst Water's was performing !! Ass!

I have to say he is more animated now than he was in his floyd years - he seems more relaxed and happy to please the crowd

I did have a few pre-concieved ideas as to what he would behave like, but he did seem very friendly and happy to be there - When he first came on stage and stood there lapping up the adoration like royalty - very funny good man!!! There were several beefy lager (ed) up Welsh Blokes sitting on the row in front of me who were just beside themselves with adoration for Waters - kept swaying in time with the music and shouting "Go on Waters, my son"! :lol:

The flying pig made me laugh - "Kafka rules OK" - what a crap foreign author to rep. Alright show, shame the crowd seemed a bit uptight and austere whereas i was into gettin' on down...
