    I was at the March 31 show and enjoyed it very much.
    The good things...classic material played and sung by the original guy who still has his original voice 90% intact plus his guitar chops are 100% intact.
    My negative comments..."Wish You Were Here" played far too early in the set. There should be anticipation for that song. Some lesser known Floyd song like "What Do You Want From Me" when he could have dug out "Fearless" which has never been played live. I was waiting for "Learning to Fly" but alas...
    A few too many guitar solos...less is more....however the solo for Fat Old Sun was stunning as it was so different than his later more well known solos.
    If you like Pink Floyd you should go.

    Glad you got to go! Hope you had a blast!

    I missed 2006 as well.. no money. Luckily, a very good friend ended up with an extra ticket to Hollywood Bowl Night #2 so I got to go!

    I didn't catch any of the references at Monday's show, but I did catch this on twitter. Apparently the spawn attended the show and Guy Pratt wasn't thrilled.

    @EricTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr @LaraLeaTrump @_DavidGilmour Believe me, we didn't play a single note for you. #wishyouwerenthere

    And Polly re-tweeted Guy's message.

    Maybe if he played somewhere besides NY, LA, and Chicago, there'd be more demand. :realmad:

    But really, for $725 for two tickets, those seats should be on the stage. In the band.

    It was much better live. Really nice jam session atmosphere at the end with Dave and Joao trading licks.
