The Poojer Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Holy schnikies! Best show I have EVER seen! What a production!
John Adams Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Was also there. Never seen a production like that.
The Poojer Posted July 15, 2012 Author Posted July 15, 2012 we wound buying tickets from the box office about 3 songs in to the show...3 songs before intermission we got onto the field level and watched most of the rest of the show from the 10th row right center...by the end we were dead on front row center at the railing...simply amazing...the visuals were stunning!!!!!
Chef Jim Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Sat front row for a Baroque concert at the San Francisco Conservatory for Music last night. I can say I appreciated that more than if I were at The Wall. Not crazy about that album and also not Crazy about Roger Waters.
Beerball Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Sat front row for a Baroque concert at the San Francisco Conservatory for Music last night. Well, you know what they say...If it's not baroque don't fix it.
Fan in San Diego Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Holy schnikies! Best show I have EVER seen! What a production! Nice ! where did you see the show?
Rob's House Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 My friend loves that show. He flew from Richmond to TX to see it; then drove to Charlotte to see it again.
The Poojer Posted July 15, 2012 Author Posted July 15, 2012 Philly Citizens Bank Park...awesome show! Nice ! where did you see the show?
nucci Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Philly Citizens Bank Park...awesome show! saw the show at the Wells Fargo when the tour started almost 2 years ago. Didn't get a chance to go last night night but agree, fantastic show.
Chef Jim Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Funny how the production and visuals have been mentioned here several times but nothing about the music. How much of it was filled with pre-recorded background music?

How much of it was filled with pre-recorded background music? Why are you here in a thread that you don't care about? Is this like when you publicly "quit" PPP? You secretly love it?

Metal Man Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Funny how the production and visuals have been mentioned here several times but nothing about the music. How much of it was filled with pre-recorded background music? I saw it twice at First Niagara. Music was also fantastic. Roger Waters surrounded himself with excellent musicians for this. Only pre-recorded stuff was for the speaking and/or sound effects intros to some of the songs. However even though it was music being performed live it is hard to compare it to a normal concert because it was much more than that. Definitely one of the best live music experiences I've ever had though.
The Poojer Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) the music was so good it very well could have been pre-recorded. Waters voice sounded fabulous, the band sounded very good as well...but there is no way to deny how the visuals were the stars of the show...oh and g.e. smith on guitar was a very nice touch... ...and let me be clear, if they used a pre-recorded track and waters lip synched I would not have been upset, the imagery and visuals were worth every penny...plus some...it was a theatrical event, not just a music concert Funny how the production and visuals have been mentioned here several times but nothing about the music.

Metal Man Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 http://youtu.be/WhTWU_dg2MA Video I took at the last First Niagara show back in June. I was in the 200s across from the stage so not close, but you can hear well and get a decent feel for the visuals, though this particular song doesn't come close to the multimedia displays that occurred during the night.
The Poojer Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 not my video, but the quality is pretty good...

If I didn't care about it why did I ask a legitimate question regarding the show you dipshit? I saw Roger Waters at the Hollywood Bowl a few years ago do the Dark Side of the Moon and much of the background music was pre-recorded. the music was so good it very well could have been pre-recorded.

And if I was good with pre-recorded music and lip-synching I'd save the money and hassle of the crowd and watch a DVD of the show. You went to a concert to see a painting? Yeah, Baroque is a style of painting. Edited July 16, 2012 by Chef Jim
The Poojer Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) that's where you and i seem to always differ...i love the crowd aspect of it...i love the interaction with people and music...but hey, to each is own...i enjoyed the show and that's really all that matters to me according to wikipedia, baroque is considered a painting style If I didn't care about it why did I ask a legitimate question regarding the show you dipshit?

But I'm just not crazy about going to a large venue to see anything. That's why I'm not a big fan of live sporting events anymore. And I didn't know Baroque was a painting syle. You learn something every day.
