If it gets better than this, then I would like to know how. The tickets were bought for my 49th birthday. Myself, Wife, 20yr old Daughter who is not a Pink Floyd fan, and 22 yr old Son all marched off the the Bristol Colston Hall. I hadn't heard of the band before this night. Now I am wondering why. Asked around, and many peaople I know, knew them. One had been to see them a number of years ago, and said they were very, very good.
Good. What an understatement....WHAT AN UNDERSTATEMENT. The concert was sublime. I have always liked Floyd music, ever since I was a kid - my dad was a fan...When the opening track started playing, I closed my eyes for a minute...I was listening to the real thing...It was superb...It was loud, but then rock is, isn't it? It was also subtle when it needed to be. It created, I imagine, exactly the right atmosphere that was originally intended. The most important thing for me was that it was respectful...Respectful of the original music...Add to that the quality of the lead singers, skill and sheer class of the musicians, the backing vocalists (wow), and the lighting, and you have an experience you will remember for a very long time.
I haven't been to a live concert in my adult life - I can't afford them. This was a surprise, and I can't thank my Wife enough for it....It was one of the best nights of my life.
