The Wall: Roger Waters 2010

...postscript...Ticketmaster has listed "Premium" tickets for sale, and I bought a pair of 23 row floor seats for much less than what the ticket resellers were charging for similar tickets. Looking forward to the show.

I just saw the show in Detroit and it was darn entertaining. The opening number is a hoot and there were about three highlights during the show where they really lit it up. The guitar work was excellent, I did not miss David Gilmore (though I have not heard him live before so do not know what I was missing)

The sound was very bass heavy but not too much high end so I did not need ear plugs (like I anticipated) the midrange tone was pretty good and the music sounded like the album much of the time. In other words a very good concert.

Also the graphics really added to the show and the high def images were terrific. Also, the use of the wall added to the experience.

Overall everything about the show was spot on. I guess that is what Pink Floyd fans expect and Roger Waters delivered.

HEY, TEACHER, LEAVE US KIDS ALONE!!!

2 thumbs way up!

Thanks for that information.

I actually bought two pairs of Etymotics "Baby Blues" earplugs for my wife and me because we are sitting in row 23, and because I damaged the hearing in my left ear at a show earlier this year (sat eighth row, and I did not plan ahead regarding earplugs...).

fwiw I was about 2/3 of the way back and half way up on the right side of the Palace at Auburn Hills, a venue that holds about 18,000 people.

Also at the end of the concert they played some bass tones that had to be in the 20hz - 30hz range, I felt them more than heard them, at a very loud, gut churning, level.

Roger pushed the limits of the experience...

Glad to hear more experiences. Philjolet, I remember seeing the Division Bell tour in Montreal sitting 18th row and Gilmore and band played Sorrow from Momentary Lapse of Reason. The bones inside my ears started vibrating and rattling around, and during the first few seconds in the beginning of that song, I thought I would not hear again.

I never put much though into the acoustics but I heard the most earth rattling and disturbing bass I'd ever imagined. I went to a couple of other shows on that tour and never had that rattling of ear drum bones again. Makes me wonder about impact explosions in the military.

There are still tickets out there folks. I'm not related to the band (wish I was) but scoop them up while you can.
