The Kansas City Roger Waters Show was most definitely the best on the tour,although the show was only added
on 8/7 and the show itself was on 8/28. I would say at least 10,000 people or more gathered at Kemper Arena for
a night that will never be forgotten. For me the journey began that day as my friends and I left Tulsa, OK to make
the journey. We arrived around 4pm, found our hotel and tried to rest before the show. It's really hard to rest
though when you know you are about to see the most inspirational musician in your life! I have to admit that I
cheated a bit by reading setlists and reviews from earlier shows on the tour, so I kind of knew what I was going
to be in for. We arrived at the arena at 7pm getting there in plenty of time for the 8pm show time. Already smelling
the good smells of the green in the air, we decided to put our desires aside until the true moment. Sure enough at
8pm the lights went down and the stage glowed with soft lighting. Then finally the first chord of In The Flesh
blared out throughout the quadraphonic speakers. I was in heaven. Roger was alive and kickin. He seemed so relaxed
and happy which is very good considering this was the last show for the tour. Knowing that this was the last show,
I was indeed expecting a surprise and, yes we did get one. As the wall played on through Mother, and then onto
the Final Cut and Animals sets. The highlight of the first half of the show for me was Dogs. Out of all the songs
I have ever wanted to hear live, Dogs was #1. I was so amazed with how accurately they played the song! It was
perfect. Snowy White and Andy Fairweather Low showed the audience why Roger has chosen these guys for years. Also
the first half gave us "In Every Strangers Eyes," form Pro's and Con's.

The second half of the show opened with Darkside material which was excellent and so original, compared to some of
Pink Floyd 1987 Ltd.'s material on the Pulse Tour. Then came the Amused to Death material I was longing to hear
performed live. Again the perfection was awesome. Roger is definitely a conductor of music and you can tell that
it has to perfect before he is satisfied. One thing I have failed to mention until this point is how awesome the
audience was. There was a good mixture of young and old and that makes me happy. The crowd to when to be loud and
when to be quiet, and everyone who knows anything about Roger is that he wants you to be quiet and listen to the
music.There of course were a few people in the audience that Roger would have spit on in the past, but for the most
part everyone was respectable and followed Rogers lead. As the show winded down with Amused To Death. At one point
the lights in the auditorium and stage were all off. The only light in the all was about 5,000 lighters. Roger was
so impressed he said "Well you all have yours lit so I think I will light mine." With that being said Roger reached
into his pocket and raised his lighter as he lit it. The show wrapped up, and of course everyone was expecting an
encore.  As I told you earlier I had seen previous setlists, so I like everyone else was expecting Comfortably Numb.

As the band came back out the crowd greeted them with a roar of maximum proportion. Roger approached the mic and
told us that since was the last show on the tour, that they were going to do something different. " We're going
to play a brand new song for you!" When I heard those words I was in awe. Roger explained that the song was about
the crisis in Kosovo. At first he didn't know what to think about the situation. He didn't know who he was right
and who was wrong. Then one day he saw a picture of an Albanian woman who had been seriously beaten by the Serbian
military. A troop who was sent to keep peace noticed the woman and wanted to help her. The troop left his platoon
to stay with the woman to take care of her. Roger wrote a song about this and unfortunately I never heard him say
the name of the song, but let me tell you it was awesome! If all the songs Roger writes for his new album are as
good as this one, then we are in for a real treat. Comfortably Numb did end the show as the fans left the arena
with looks of awe on their faces.
