The pig died about 20ft behind us. I didn't see what happened to it but there was no sign of it a few minutes later as the crowd cleared.

I had That conversation with the boss who swears the u2 stageshow is the greatest thing ever, I almost shrieked in his face. Noone needs that many close ups of Bono

[MichaelsBeard]

Absolutely unbelievable gig. The level of detail was mind-blowing. Don't think that could ever be topped for 'show' value.

[russycarps]

I saw Floyd do Dark Side Of The Moon (and Saucerful, and Meddle) the first time round. When building a wall was the highlight of their shows, I decided it was time to move on.

Personally, the technical brilliance of any show pales into insignifficance in relation to the music. If I want production values I'll go to Vegas

Anyone who went to or is going to the UK Wall shows might be interested in this forum http://yeeshkul.com If you register for the forum there are some excellent concert downloads there and I am sure within the next couple of weeks there will be a complete multi-angle video shoot DVD of the Wembley show. Also a good source for those rare Floyd recordings from back in the day.

Classy work

This was posted by someone else on the gigs thread in discussions, it's actually pretty good.

Just home from manchester! I would give one of my kidneys to see that on the pyramid stage next year! Mind blowing stuff!

[Keef]

Found this video on YouTube, there are many better out there in both audio and video quality but this one is from right at the back of the stadium and shows how good it still looks from all the way back there - skip forward to about 4 mins to see roger make the wall explode.

A very special gig. I just want to see it all over again. This year has been far too good for gigs.

If I had the money I would have went to Manchester but sadly I'm very skint now.

The Trial seems to be my most played Pink Floyd song at the moment which is weird as I never really appreciated it before.

TEAR DOWN THE WALL!

I know but I've just convinced her that the Nick Cave tout idea's a good one and that could cost up to 70 quid each plus travel (if she decides to go - I definitely am).

I have no money and this may push her over the edge, especially as I saw it a couple of years back. Oh, I hate you, cruel temptress! I know you're right, but I can't justify it (can I?) as it will be essentially the same show.

If scruffy didnt end up going I vote they be banned from this forum for all eternity

This one is a bit of a cheat as it isn't from Wembley but the O2 in 2011. But for those with withdrawal symptoms who might like to see the wall break apart during Comfortably Numb here's my crappy phone shot video.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Ah, see now I feel sorry for you! That does seem a fair excuse.

I hope I never become a proper grown-up who has to prioritise boilers and kitchens over gig tickets. Sounds well rubbish.

[Zoo Music Girl]

They're not usually the priority. Only because the gig would have been a last minute thing.

For example, Nick Cave is definitely happening as it's already decided. If that means No water or food for a month, the gig still wins.

[russycarps]

You're all evil. I'd finally talked myself into going, as there were two seats available for the floor area, after many schizophrenic arguments with myself. Mrs scruff then let me know that our kitchen had basically fallen down. We knew it was on the cards and were planning on saving up to get a new one next year, but didn't realise how bad it was and now need to find money for a new one. No way could I then broach the subject of a last minute 85 quid each plus travel gig, especially after this has come straight after our new boiler was fitted last week which has wiped us out financially.

Thus rests the case for the defense as to why I should still be allowed on here

although it will never top the Berlin Wall concert 21 July 1990 which I attended { although none will ever get close due to the sheer size { 350,000 ticket holders and a estimated 100,000 were allowed in for free { from east Berlin } - now that is what you call a audience } - not even Wembley has the space for a 550-foot-long by 82-foot-high wall but the Sound was fantastic.

[glasto-worker]

Well, hello, fellow attendee! x

Yes, I remember a great crowd in Berlin, and the historic significance and all that. But I also remember some seroius technical problems with the sound back in 1990, and tbh, the band he has now is better! Ok, I'm biased. I dislike Cyndi Lauper so much, that I actually didn't mind the sound trailing off when she came on stage! ;-)
