Another relatively new venue on Roger's tour of The Wall - Roger played here in 2008 and clearly enjoyed the experience, making a return visit. Known commonly as The Can in view of its main sponsor, the venue is a popular sports center. Our thanks to Mike McCarthey, and to Ralph B., for the ticket scans to the right.

WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!
Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played, and what happened as the night unfolded!
Night forty-one of the tour, and the sole stop in Colorado. A break of a few days now before the fun resumes in Las Vegas. If you went to this show in Denver, please let us know what you thought of the event, and if anything interesting or different happened if you've been to previous shows and can compare.
The Denver Post were at the concert, and they noted that the "Power of 'The Wall' continues to astonish in concert".
They said that "Roger Waters turned the Pepsi Center into a kaleidoscope of sound. At one point, during the intermission of Tuesday night's brilliant, blistering performance, it was hard not to weep for humanity. While Waters transformed the stage wall into a memorial, projecting pictures onto the wall of the dead from the wars of the last century with little stories of how they died, people filed up and down the stairs obliviously, intent on their beers and day-to-day minutiae. It seemed as though many in attendance were missing the point."
They've also posted a gallery from the concert, which you can see here.

CONCERT REVIEW by BD CONTRIBUTOR, Tom Griffin
Just wanted to let you folks know that the show last night was fantastic. I saw the show some 30 years ago and I believe this one was better.
Hope to see more of Roger and/or Floyd in the future. I personally would love to see Roger and David and Nick back together again one last time before I die. Thanks for the great time.

Flew out from Minneapolis to spend time with family and see my 3rd, and hopefully not last, Wall show.
The band was at their best Tuesday night and the audience was electric! The opening rocked the Pepsi Center, you could just feel each beat. Empty Spaces, What Shall We Do Now, and Young Lust were just awesome. The videos accompanying Vera are moving. Run Like Hell was powerful.
The technology with the images on the wall is unbelieveable, it's as if the wall is alive.
To everyone going to future shows you are in for a treat.
CONCERT REVIEW by BD CONTRIBUTOR, Michael
Went to Denver with 2 friends, saw the show at the Pepsi Center.
The show was more than any of us had expected. Everyone around us was so into the moment, and into the Wall, that the surrealism was incredible. Also, people understood the meaning of the show even if they were never there for the original Wall!!!
Our hats off to Roger and everyone else involved in the production of this concert. It was, of course, a phenonemal show, an absolutely fantastic presentation of the Wall. Our thanks from Cheyenne, Wy (Michael, Ronda, & Tom). Shine...on!!!!!!!!!
