Roger (and Floyd) seem to have a very wide appeal across the ages.Ĩ.03pm: The stadium went dark, BANG! fireworks went off, and Roger was in the spotlight, on top of a wall, shouting “Ein, Zwei, Drei”, and for the next 3 hours I was in a different world. I was amazed at the number of young people in the audience, especially later during the show when I heard them singing along to the lyrics. I arrived at 7pm and wandered round the Bellville Velodrome saying “hi” to friends, buying the programme and obligatory T-shirt and just generally soaking up the atmosphere. I have never seen Pink Floyd live, though I have most of their live videos, and I reasoned that this Roger Waters gig would be the closest I would ever get to seeing Pink Floyd in the flesh, so to speak!īefore The Show: The press releases from Big Concerts before the show said that it would start at 8pm and end at 11pm with a 20 minute interval… and that’s exactly how it happened, give-or-take a few minutes. When I first heard about this tour in October last year, I bought my Golden Circle ticket straight away. So if you are expecting a totally unbiased and objective review - forget it! I also have a number of bootlegs, though I am not really a huge bootleg collector. Firstly let me start off by saying that I have been a Pink Floyd and Roger Waters fan since the early 70s and I have ALL of their official CDs including obscure albums like ‘When The Wind Blows’ (a soundtrack album, half of which features Roger Waters and the Bleeding Hearts Band), ‘The Body’ (by Roger with Ron Geesin) and ‘Works’.
