OH my God, they really re-created the entire show. Did they use two drummers this time? Did they have the gigantic pig coming over the wall? At my show there was a fuck-up and the pig knocked part of the wall down (LA Coliseum).
Or, did they get everything they used 30 fucking years ago (oh my GOD! that's an entire lifetime) out of storage? It looks damn near exactly the same.
Color me Clairol "Blown Away".
Im not 100% on the 2 drummers, though Id still say yes - from my angle it was hard to see the musicians most of the time.
You have to remember this wasnt "Pink Floyd" but Roger Waters solo performing the Wall. I know there are copyright issues about which symbols who can use.
They had the airplane, school teacher, mother and the pig as far as the big props from the wall, The teacher looked the same, I couldnt see the mother really at all, but the pig was way different than any of the "Pink Floyd" show pigs I had seen. It was smaller, no big ball sack and was all lit up with corporate logos as if it was "sponsored".
Funny thing was on BART leaving I heard somebody talking/complaining about how Roger sold out and they couldnt believe the pig was sponsored. I saw it as a statement on how everything these days is an opportunity to sell sponsorship.
It was not as elaborate as some of the versions of the wall I have seen (videos) that have been done since 1979, but I think just it being indoors they prolly have to water (no pun intended) it down a bit.
The thing that was very impressive though was the sound. Even in the second deck where shit usually sounds like your listening to a concert inside a toilet bowl that is being flushed it was pretty amazing.
I guess thats why they still use quadraphonic sound stage equipment after all these years.
Lol, only from a lady.. :tongueout
