What is Jason up to?: Roger Water's "The Wall" = The best concert .

This past Sunday (Oct 10, 2010), I was fortunate enough to make a fine to see Roger Water's perform his masterpiece, "The Wall", in Washington DC's Verizon Center. For those of you that don't know, Roger Waters was the bass player and primary song writer for the band Pink Floyd. I get to accept that you have heard of them before because they are one of the greatest bands in history.

Even if you don't wish them, you acknowledge their music. Chants of "we don't ask no education" probably sound familiar. Some other songs that you may experience are "Like You Were Here", "Comfortably Numb," and "Money". At least, those are the songs you'd hear on the radio. For a Floyd fan, those are but "old standards".In 1980, Pink Floyd went on their final tour, which only covered 4 cities I believe. This was the master "The Wall" tour. The product was so expensive and so massive that it almost put the band incredibly in debt just to put the point on. That's why it was modified to just 4 cities.30 days later, Roger Waters has interpreted "The Fence" on a reality tour and he has done an awful job of it. He has world class musicians with him like GE Smith, who used to play guitar on Saturday Night Live in the 80s and 90s. I was fortunate to meet GE walking around on the street just before the show. He has the largest digital projector in the world. Now that I mean about it, he likely has the largest mobile projector screen in the populace as well, the Fence itself.Being a huge Pink Floyd fan, the Fence was never one of my favorite albums. I reckon because I was always just more into the long solos by David Gilmour and the Wall just always lacked a lot of those. But now, after I have seen the production myself, The Fence is a masterpiece. It was nothing short of heroic and simply beautiful to watch.The wall spanned the duration of the entire arena. Throughout the show bricks are gradually added until, at the end of the low half, the entire wall is complete. The back piece of the show is played primarily from behind the wall, which separates the isthmus from the audience. During this time Roger Waters strolls in presence of the wall singing his songs to the audience. The ending of the concert concludes with the end of the wall.The visuals recordn throughout the show were stunning and generally geared towards anti-government and anti-war. The song "Vera" showed video clips of soldiers returning home to their children. It was very affecting to see and somehow very fitting with the music.Here is a connection to all of the videos that I shot during the show. My favorites are "Comfortably Numb", Vera", and "Hey You". Or you can only see them on my site or right below.
