![]() The set opened with “Comfortably Numb” which was a bold move in all the right ways, it was a perfect greeting into the psychedelic time machine that the audience would enter. The screens illuminated with a message that read, “If you’re one of those people who love Pink Floyd but hate Roger’s politics, you can go F*** off to the bar now." This warning was fair considering the majority of what played on the screen was political. Giant screens above the stage made the show an immersive cinematic experience. The audience was seated throughout but the stage was centered in the middle and completely visible from every angle in the arena. The level of production for the show was obvious right off the bat. Not many artists of our generation will have such a universal grip on the ears of those who listen. Even if you were a fan sitting in the grass of some musical festival in the 70s during the genre's formulation, you had the chance to see them 50 years later and reminisce about those feelings. To see such a diverse age group in attendance showed how long lasting the Pink Floyd legacy is. There were other young faces in the crowd, but mostly fans who were around when they were touring in the 70s, 80s and 90s. ![]() ![]() Despite his age, it seemed like the people in the crowd got close to the same visceral experience that they would have 40-50 years ago, and it would be ridiculous to pass up seeing such a legend. Going to a show with only one of the founding members of Pink Floyd can be questionable to some, but the set proved that Roger Waters definitely has still got it.
