Last night, Long Island rocked!
Phil and I attended the Roger Waters Pink Floyd THE WALL concert at the Nassau County Coliseum. In a word "spectacular!"
The crowd ranged in age from 20's to 70's. The fans were so up for the event. The building shook as the music swelled and the Wall was erected right before our very eyes. The pounding bass and the lighting and unique special effects all blended perfectly in what we used to call a HAPPENING. So much more than a concert-so much more than a theatrical show.
I was in awe of the band's electronic control panels and boards that took up a good third of the arena floor. We saw a flying plane crash the wall and burn, a pig circling overhead, and videos of lost loved ones and war heroes and war horrors and future hopes and future dreams unfold on the wall as if it were a TV or a movie screen.The colors. The lights. The noise and the MUSIC-incredible.
Yes Roger Waters has seen his voice diminish in its abilities-but he carried it off and sometimes sang along with his own performance from the 1979 show on view behind him. Remarkable.
Again, a night to remember. If this tour comes to your area-GO! THE WALL is unforgettable after you see it LIVE! WHEW-what a night.
Pictures to follow later.
