I'll begin by saying that the Roger Waters "In The Flesh" show at the Baltimore Arena on Friday, August 20, 1999,
was one of the watershed events of my life.

Roger Waters has long been my favorite rock artist and lyricist of all time. I was lucky enough to see him live
in Berlin at "The Wall" show in 1990, as well as on his "Pros and Cons of Hitchiking" and "Radio K.A.O.S" tours
in 1984 and 1987, respectively. I had extremely high expectations for his "In The Flesh" tour. They were all
greatly exceeded.

Although the highlights of the show were many, among the songs that stood out were "Dogs", "Perfect Sense",
"Mother", "Every Strangers' Eyes", "Amused to Death", "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" and "Southampton Dock." I
couldn't get over how well Roger sounded, played and looked, nor the fact that he was obviously having a great
time. His vocals, bass and acoustic guitar have never sounded better. His band was phenomenal, and at no point
were Gilmour, Mason or Wright sorely missed. P. P. Arnold brought the house down with her solo in
"Perfect Sense."
