'Wish you were here?'

Well, you will have to use your imagination, as this pic of our friends was the only photo allowed before the camera got confiscated!!!
Pink Floyd was the very first band I saw in concert(almost 30 years ago!!), and their music was a big part of my teen years, so I jumped at the chance to see Roger Waters (the voice...) at the Cricket Pavillion. The setting is absolutely amazing- an outdoor ampitheatre with seating for 12000, and then 'lawn seating' for a further 8000. Lawn seating involves bringing a deckchair or blanket, and settling down on the grass, with a chilled beer from the 'liquid lounge', watching the sunset, and then listening to fabulous music......did I forget to say it was 25C?
The first half was all the 'oldies but goodies'- lots from Wish You Were Here, and The Wall. The second half was the entire performance of Dark Side of the Moon.
I Loved it, but I was amazed to realise how little I understood of their music at the time!!!
I knew they had a slightly political edge- but that was putting it mildly!! He had just written a new song about Tony and George(as in Blair and Bush), and there were lots of anti war images and comments. The Animals tour which I saw all those years ago had a flying pig (aww how cute.....)- this time, the pig was covered in political graffiti, with a huge 'IMPEACH BUSH NOW' all over its rear end!!
But it was rather surreal as they let it go and it floated off towards the stars, with a big 'free at last' written on its belly!!
