I am looking forward to it actually. Quite like a big spectacle now and again! Was going to watch the film first but never got round to it. I think it's good - and unusual - to have no preconceptions though.

Am going with another few mates, also going to Dublin next wednesday too :-)

I was at the Wall show in Berlin's Olympiastadion (yes, THAT Olympic stadium) last week.

Stunning. Perfect weather, perfect acoustics, atmospheric venue, no queues, cheap beer, cheap grub.

I was also at the O2 gig when Gilmour played and although that was epic this blew it away in terms of scale.....no spoilers on the show though for those doing Wembley but you won't be disappointed.

Getting quite excited about Saturday night now. Going with a die hard Floyd fan (like me) who is super excited and a younger couple who I'm not sure appreciate Floyd in the same way. Got an email yesterday from one of the younger couple asking where (us old fogies) were thinking of standing as she wanted to be right down the front. I had to explain that it would probably be a bit better from a little distance and linked to a nice picture of the O2 stage completely obscured by the Wall. Besides, I said, RW is nothing to look at really, he was 70 last week.

At the Earls Court gig I was so far away I couldn't have told you how many people were on stage, let alone who was on stage, but the show was still incredible and goes down as one of my all time favourite gigs (up there with Mr Bowie at G2000). RW was 'good' at Glasto, just a shame he wasn't given the headliner slot, it would have been a much better show IMO.

Doubt I'll be able to make the Wetherspoons meet, will try, but I don't think we'll get to Wembley until about 6pm.

Does anyone know any decent pubs in wembley, close to the stadium? I havent been there for ages but I seem to remember it being pretty dreadful.

[Zoo Music Girl]

There's nothing in Wembley is there? Went to a pub once about 10 years ago. That was crap. Not much help I know.

Can I ask a stupid question - is the stadium essentially open-air? So we'll get rained on?

Ah good to know. We're seated.

Quite looking forward to it now. If this doesn't blow my mind I'll be disappointed.

[russycarps]

Have you done the "view from your seat" thing on the wembley website? it's pretty good

which end is the Wall being built at?

[Ed209]

Always thought they had a roof...

but just checked, when "closed" it still doesn't cover the pitch. Fairly useless roof then

[Zoo Music Girl]

Yeah that doesn't fit with my understanding of the word "roof".

[5co77ie]

14 degrees is bloody freezing!

I am really looking forward to seeing this at Wembley on Saturday, although I am going to be quite away back from the Wall should still be a real spectacle. Also going to Paris the following Saturday for the final show of the tour (and more than likely ever) this time we will be standing, I couldn't resist it when the tickets went on per-sale, but I had to sell the idea of going to Paris to my misses as a romantic weekend away leaving it until she was happy with the idea before breaking the news that we would probably take the concert in while we were there

[russycarps]

I think being a bit further back wont have too much impact. I dont think you'd want to be too close for this gig

The problem with this show is there is so much to see, that wherever you are you wish you could be seeing it from several places at the same time to take it in.

Still not received my tix, his site seems to think that I can collect then from the box office as I have been emailing them the last few days. Anyone else in the same boat as I? Cheers
