What a night. I have seen Roger Waters 3 times previous, but nothing like this including the first round of the KAOS tour in Mansfield, which was the most intense thing I had witnessed; to this point. Waters came on at exactly 8:00 PM and the crowd stood for 3 straight hours. Towards the beginning, it seemed Roger was possibly going through the motions, basically being Roger I guess, but as the crowd pushed, he began to push back. Perhaps he recalled the night at Great Woods in 87 during the Radio KAOS tour when everyhting fell into place and as he later said was the best night of the tour. Whatever it was, he got stronger and the crowd wouldnt let him back down and he had no intentions of trying or even wanting to. It was obvious that he was having a good time and gave it his all. His bass playing was as it once was, strong, steady and the foundation for all of the other instruments to build on. His voice was classic. David Gilmour's voice has lost a bit over the years, but Waters sounded as good as it did when he recorded "Free Four" with P. F. so long ago. Maybe because he has been saving it, but seems such a shame he'd try. The band was fantastic. Snowey and Andy were outstanding, the young guitar slinger (who's name escapes me) that carried the loin's share of Gilmour's work looked tired or bored or something. He was good, but I got the sence that he was thinking past the tour to his own illustrious career. To his credit, he did at times light the fretboard on fire with his bare hands. Not an easy spot to step into and fill so well. At the end of the show, it was obvious that Roger had found something he had missed for so long; an adoring crowd that understood the message. And the crowd found what it had missed; the true mastermind behind one of the greatest bands in rock and roll history. And along the way we all got what we needed; A glimps, be it ever so fleeting of the dark side. Shine On.
