Roger Waters Performs Pink Floyd's The Wall
February 2nd 2012 09:49
The spectacular stage show included flying pigs, giant marionettes, and an enormous wall of white blocks, on which lights, lasers and projections played.
The opening songs were performed in paramilitary outfits which were shed as a choir joined in for “Another brick in the wall.” The barricade of blocks was gradually extended to wall off the entire band during “Mother” and ‘Goodbye blue skies.”
As a dazzling light beamed through a single opening in the wall Roger Waters sang “Goodbye cruel world” and on the final word – goodbye – the opening was filled, signalling intermission.
After the break a larger gap opened in the wall and Roger Waters appeared in a living room scene to sing “Nobody home.”
He then emerged from behind the wall for a stunning performance of “Comfortably numb,” before the Quasi-military uniforms were resumed for “Run like Hell” and “Waiting for the worms.”
For the grand finale, the militaristic theme was replaced with gigantic projections during “The trial,” leaving Roger Waters seemingly vulnerable and alone outside the wall for his moving rendition of “Outside the wall.”
There are two more shows scheduled for the Brissie Entertainment Centre; tonight and on Saturday the 4th of February, before “The Wall” moves on to Melbourne on the 7th of Feb and Sydney on the 14th.
Four shows in Auckland on the 18th, 20th, 22nd, and 23rd of Feb complete the Australasian leg of the tour before the most spectacular show since AC/DC’s Black Ice Tour moves on to South America, concluding in Sao Paulo on the 1st of March.
