kevins_concertsIt had been twelve years since Roger Waters had been on tour, and seven since he'd had an album out. Though his albums were never blockbusters, and his tours never sold well, this one marked a change in his mainstream success. This show seemed pretty big to me. While I always knew he put on great shows, it seemed that the general public had finally figured this out. There seemed to be quite a buzz. This show was the tour opener, and it was in a small arena. Looking over the other 23 dates, in just over a monthlong tour, I see that they were all smallish venues. The tour sold out spectacularly, and got deservedly rave reviews, so he set out on the road in the US again, the following summer. He took the band out again in 2002, to tour the rest of the world.
The first set was all Pink Floyd, from The Wall, The Final Cut, Animals and Wish You Were Here. The second set was Dark Side of the Moon, Waters's solo work, and a little Wall. The encore was all DSOM.
