Well, whoever it was I saw back then fooled about 130.000 people. They played three sold out nights. Of course, I did do a lot of smoking in those days. After 22 years, I'm ready for another shot of Floyd. Only a few hours to go......

Exactly! To me, he was my favorite but I love Gilmour too. Just wish they didn't hate each other

I have to give that show two big thumbs up. Probably the best sound I've ever heard at a live show, and hearing two Stratocasters wailing through a soundsystem like that was pure heaven to me. Great light show and the pig showed up too. A class act all the way. Worth every penny. And the most behaved crowd too. Thanks to everyone for a wicked good night.

I will say that seeing Pink Floyd without Roger Waters was still a lot more of a true Pink Floyd concert than, lets say..... seeing a Guns and Roses concert with just Axl at the helm. If you catch my drift.

The performance/show was great but for me i had a hard time getting into it last night. It took till after the intermission before i started getting a good vibe. I think it's because we're all sitting down and being quiet. I mean i know it's stoner music but jeez are people ever sedate at their shows! :lol: I was looking around and it looked like people were at a movie theatre sitting being quiet watching a movie. But like I said, great performance from the band.

So I forgot to ask, is this show still being well attended in Moncton? My wife said that it looked like the parking lot at the Coliseum was pretty full when she drove by. For a show that comes back every couple years they seem to do fairly well.

With the exception of the screened off upper bowl, it was full. The stage did seem to be set up a little closer to center ice than most shows. There were no vast sections of empty seats like there was at Marilyn Manson. It was an excellent show.

Funny you should ask about attendance, because I'm always amazed that they have such a following, for a cover band. A very good one, but still not the original and no original material. At the MC the upper bowl was curtained off, but the floor was full and only a scattering of empty seats at the far end. I'm betting those who did get seats at the end were kinda bummed, since there wasn't as much of a light show this time - normally that's the best spot to watch!

For me the show was pretty good. I enjoyed it more the first time I saw them, two tours ago. I was crackin' up at the camera nazi's roaming around!! Seriously, it's a cover band!!! I haven't seen it that bad at the MC since Motley Crue!! LOL I did get a couple of clips, but because I tried to cover up my screen, I couldn't see where I was taping and have perfect views of the lady's head in front of me and my friends lap!! LOL The best one is Run Like Hell - I'll post it later today.

The light show was twice as big as last year. The only thing missing was the lasers and that wasn't such a big deal.

I didn't notice any camera nazis although one fat-ass local security guy at the front was being a dick even to the press photographers.

We were in Sect 9 Row C and could see them all over the floor, they were walking around like hawks!! One fella even jumped over the boards to tell me 'Just pictures - no video'!! LOL There was a fella in front of me who was able to hide his better - his YouTube tagname is 8too.

ah, then that would make them video nazis, not camera nazis.

Interesting that they would be more concerned with this than generous amount of blazing up going on in a non-smoking building.

LOL, I was actually surprised (and a little disappointed) that I didn't notice any of that lovely aroma around me!!
