Got to agree. Thought the band have raised the bar even higher this year. Still remembering bits of it now.
I was beside mixing consoles last year. Bought tickets on release day (it was a long wait) and made sure we got seats in the middle slightly further forwards. Tried to savour every moment but the night still flew by.
Absolutely loved it. Great start with In The Flesh. Really hit with the power of the sound mix straight away. I have no complaints about any of the tracks played, I loved the Division Bell tracks although I seemed to be surrounded by guys who seemed a bit disdainful when these were played in response to reactions to other tracks. But hey there's a massive back catalogue covering a wide timespan so there was coverage for the generations of fans. More importantly as far as I'm concerned this is the only opportunity to hear the tracks being played live with sincerity and accuracy.
Thought the stage show was great - the lights and lasers were synchronised to the music incredibly well and really added to the performance although an observation (not a grumble!) - I did miss the quad as used last year.
Too many other highlights for me, but thought Colin did a great job on Fletcher Memorial Home. Loved Jason's introduction to Set the Controls and felt like I'd been sent back to the Pompeii DVD, particularly with the animation/graphics on the screen.
Thought Pigs was superb and loved the updating of the pictures used whilst it was being played.
Fantastic response from the audience to GGITS when each of the girls took it in turn. Thought their voices were all very strong.
Fantastic build up to the end of the show culminating in everyone on their feet for RLH
Wanted to shout at Alex - The toon wasn't cold today - you didn't need that big coat on all gig. LOL
Already thinking about next year and looking forwards to it.
I could go on and on so will stop here apart from to say - If you only go to one gig this year this is the band to see.
