WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!
Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played!
Historic Prague was the place to be for a show packed with its own
history. Reports are slow to arrive for this show, but what we hear it
that it was another good show, with the band on top form. No changes to
the set, and all the special effects were present, to a delighted
audience.
Budapest is the next stop on the tour, where the band are sure of a warm welcome.

CONCERT REVIEW - by BD contributer, Vlado Marcinek
It was an astonishing performance with lots of sound and visual
effects. It really took my breath and I enjoyed the whole show very
much. I can say that one of my dreams has come true.
I'm 24 and I'm Pink Floyd fan from the age of 15. This was my first chance to see Roger's gig. Truly amazing!
CONCERT REVIEW - by BD contributers, Jiri and Michal Beran
Well, the evening started with the typical waiting for the show - but
this time with a nearly-3D image of a radio, bottle of whiskey and all
other details on the huge screen behind the stage. At first, I thought,
the radio can be a reference on "Radio K.A.O.S." album, but my brother
said, it can be a reference to radio waves from "Wish you were here" or
hotel-room scene from "The Wall" or anything else - you can
choose, what you like :-)
The
show started at 8.00 pm sharp and big hand on the screen several times
changed the radio station.... and then THEY and ROGER were on the
stage! The set list didn´t changed from last year, when we (my brother
and I) were on the concert in Berlin. So the first "brick", "In the
flesh", started the night of brilliant music and unforgetable
experience.
I think, that set list is well-known, so let me to mention just a few
highlights. In the whole show was a lot of new images for the screen,
and all of them were better than last year. For example, the burning
arch for the beginning and ending of "Set the controls...", aircraft
carrier with helicopters in "Southampton dock" or the breath-taking
scene with submarine and torpedoes during the breath-taking "Perfect
Sense".
Another beautiful idea was the zooming moon on the screen during the
pause before "Dark Side". But don´t understand me wrong. The other
images for the rest of the songs were great too (walking hammers,
photos and videos from "old good" days with all other "floyds" or Syd,
a picture story (I don´t want to write comics) for "Leaving Beirut", or
the whole "Dark Side".... oh yes, look carefully, there is on the
screen old Czech tape recorder, Tesla during "Brain damage").
Of course, there were also "fireworks & toys" - pyrotechnical
effects on "In the flesh" or "Perfect Sense" were unique. At the
beginning of "Shine on..." the hall was filled up with falling
soap-bubbles (so extraordinary feeling of fine rain -tears?- indeed).
During the "Perfect sense pt1" flying astronaut over our heads. Yes, we
saw a flying pig with its writings during "Sheep", the one of the best
songs of that evening. And finally - the amazing real prism on the end
of "Dark Side"!!! Unbelievable experience.
The three-hour concert went so quickly away. We can only hope, that
Roger Waters and his band of stars (all of them are so unique
musicians) will sometime in the future come again.
But for now we can only say big THANK YOU for that magical night.
