    So My sister emailed me from NJ me asking me if I would like to go to RW's The Wall for Father's Day? I was like huh....I told her "qui qui madame" she says "does that mean yes?" this coming from a woman who spent 2 weeks in Paris on some work magazine project.

    So we're going to Bank Atlantic Friday night on June 15th in Sunrise FL I believe....it should be fun and thank you sis.

    Peace
    Thinking about seeing The Wall again. It's only a 30 minute drive down to the Sunrise, maybe I'll see you there :mrgreen:

    Yeah that would be kool about a 30 minute drive for me too...straight down 441 to Sawgrass Expressway. One of the other reasons i said yes, if it was in Miami I probably would have said no. However, it being a Friday night I'll be there for sure plus I prefer Bank Atlantic than than the Triple AAA in Miami and that drive/parking.

    Peace

    All I can say is HOLY SHIT!!

    That's was one hell of a show. I would go see it again even though I know it would be the same thing.

    ARE THERE ANY PARANOIDS OUT THERE?!

    Went to the gig at BC Place on Saturday night.

    I don't think I've ever seen a more spectacular show. I was underneath the front of the upper deck, almost straight back from the stage. Despite not being quite high up enough to clear all the FOH towers, the view and the surround/quadrophonic sound created an amazing atmosphere. The crowd, as high as they were, was in excellent form, too.

    Roger was so sincere, gracious, and giving at the end of the show. It was Ed-like. :) He was so happy to be up there. The man is in incredible shape for his age, and his voice was just fucking perfect. The fellow who sings David Gilmour's parts also totally nailed it.

    AND GE FUCKIN' SMITH! YEAH!

    I feel incredibly fortunate and lucky that I was able to go and witness this event.

    Thank you.

    THANK YOU.

    THANK YOU!

    I saw the show in Columbus a couple years ago and I swear most people didn't even notice that. I saw it hanging up there before the show even started so I was ready for it :lol:

    What was it that happened? I just saw the show and am trying to remember what took place?

    That's about what I paid to see him do the Wall at United Center, 5th row, and I haven't regretted that purchase for a second.

    I am usually a seat snob, but I assure you there is no need to be close-up for this show!
  • Spoony CSpoony C Posts: 278
    I'm going Sunday at the Yum! Center in Louisville, and we bought lower-level seats at the far end of the arena (but fairly high off the floor, 15 rows up or so, I think) for about $100 or $110 apiece with fees. Absolutely can't wait.

    Went last night, and...Holy. Shit.

    I've seen a lot of impressive productions (including the last 4 U2 tours and 3 different Stones tours), and the precision and scope of this thing is the most impressive I think I've ever seen. I can't even imagine it on the outdoor level; the arena was impressive enough.

    Two very big thumbs-up. Anybody waffling on whether to see it should get a ticket and go. No, it's not a Pink Floyd reunion, but if you like the source music at all, you should check out this interpretation of it.

    Wow.

    Tickets said 8pm prompt but it was probably 8:10 when he started.

    OK I'm getting pumped for the show which is being held at Bank Atlantic in Sunrise tomorrow. Interested to see this large production in this rather smaller indoor arena. It should be something worth seeing.

    Well, simply an AMAZING show.

    The BEST concert sound ever of the hundreds of concerts I've seen. The drums, guitar and vocals were crisp and clear as if they were playing in my living room. Not one glitche that I saw or heard during the show.

    One suggestion people get to your seats early cause you don't want someone standing in front of you while the action is going on stage. I started yelling get down or MOVE.

    A show not to be missed....such a kool show I didn't even bother to get a t-shirt but I did keave with a happy smirk from what we had just witnessed. 8-):D8-)

    Saw The Wall last night at The Rogers Center in Toronto ... incredible from start to finish ... I doubt I have heard any better concert sound just amazing.
