Just watched Destinys Child and now Will Smith. Not as good as Hyde Park, but a great show nevertheless.

It felt surreal actually being there. I'm only 5ft 4ins and could barely see above the heads of those around me so I had no idea how far behind me the crowd stretched.

Should have done a bit of this

:lol: I didn't see any crowd surfing. It might have happened and maybe I was just too short to see it :lol: The lady infront of me was even shorter than I am and we both thought that it would be better in future if all tall people could stand at the back :P There was a fairly tall man directly infront of us. He couldn't dance for toffee but at least with his wriggling and writhing he moved just enough out of our way most of the time :lol:
 
Have played with photoshop and some aeriel views of Hyde Park and made this masterpiece to demonstrate how close to the front I was :lol:

The Wall is simply the best album that was ever produced (in my eyes, at least!)!! You know, We don't need no education, We don't need no thought control.... - fantastic stuff!

So you wouldn't agree that it is the biggest ego trip ever committed to vinyl then?
 
Crowd surfing - hey, I MUST go next time! They'll be too closely packed together to be able to part like the Red Sea, too! "Heeeeere's Jonneeee...." :teeth: :teeth:
 
James, you were only three when it 'first came out' (if it came out, it must have been the first issue - anything else is a re-issue), so of course you didn't like it. You were still watching the big, big bumble-bees go round and round on the mobile hanging in your nursery.

I dunno, talk about False Memory Syndrome...
 
Well I like it, James - so there!!

I have to agree with Simmo though - to listen to Roger Waters you would have thought that he alone was Floyd. He is a walking ego-trip.
 
When that awful song " We don't need no education " was a big hit in the late 70s whether it was a reissue or not . I hated it. If it had been inflicted on an earlier generation as well so what.
 
No, it came out in late 1979. But "The Wall" is a complete, and complex, album - not just the one song. It's a "concept" album about a rock star's mental decline. Another song on the album is "Comfortably Numb" which was performed by Pink Floyd at Live8.
 
I love The Wall, & I think Comfortably Numb is an amazing song. Brian's right about it being complex, if you sit down & listen to all the lyrics throughout the album it is powerful stuff. My Dad used to play it all the time, and used to love telling us as kids to listen to the words as we got older, whilst telling us how good an album it is. I have to say it's one thing I agree with the old man about! :lol:
 
Oh dear Krizon and Songsheet - humble pie time for you both - unless you really think I am 29 !
