CONCERT REVIEW by BD CONTRIBUTOR, Simon Wimpenny

Just back from the 3rd and final night in Toronto, fantastic show, amazing sound, didn't spot any mistakes. Roger's having a great time and enjoying himself onstage. Watched the first half of the show from the front rail to the right (Dave K laughed when he saw me) and the second half from the soundboard. It's a different show in each position. At the front you don't get any real idea of just how huge the projections are but you do get to see Roger and the band close up and the interactions with the band onstage.

Make sure you check out Simon's blog at SimonWimpenny.blogspot.com where you'll find full details of all his travels, along with more pictures and videos.

CONCERT REVIEW by BD CONTRIBUTOR, Jens Dam-Libach

The band is picking up, getting better all the time. Especially GE Smith nailed the guitar parts fully. Both Another Brick 2 and Mother solos was fantastic to sit through. Every time he finishes a solo you look forwrd hearing it again for the next show as he definately is improving picking up on his performances.

Gilmour vocalist Wyckoff seemed to increase the power of his parts. He's such a great performer. Kilminster's Comfy Numb solo was clearly the best of the three.

Clearly the best night for the band.

Roger's in great form getting the crowd up on their feet.

Great show, great performance. You just sit there jaw dropping all the time. Can't wait for the Chicago shows!!!

CONCERT REVIEW and PICTURES by BD CONTRIBUTOR, Matt Cooper

Well it was a night to remember for a long time.

The show started a little after 8pm EST and what a show it was. Roger was out in great force through the entire event.

Mother was spectacular. Just before he started, Roger spoke to the crowd mentioning how they had filmed some of the shows from 1980 and just happened to clean up a performance of Mother.

He said "we're going to try something new tonight" so I dont know if it was a first for the shows. On the partially built wall and giant screen was Roger in black and white in 1980 performing the song. On stage was Roger playing and singing along with it.

Other reviews have covered some of the concert details, so I'll just say that it was the night of my life! I was incredibly pleased that he sang the entire Trial while sitting on stage watching the original animations, along with some new material. All of it mixed very well.

GE Smith was on top and his solos were spectacular, didn't miss a note!

My friend had informed me that a fan supposedly spotted David Gilmour in Toronto but we didn't see him. It would have been great to see him show up at the top of the wall but it was one hell of an experience and a night I shall not forget.

At the end the fans stood for a good long time cheering the show and Roger said "We'll be back"

Hopefully this is a sign that he's not done yet!

I was at the back of the venue but it was a perfect full view of this amasing, spectacular show.

YOUR HELP NEEDED! We want to cover Roger's concerts the best we can, to share the experience with everyone, especially those who won't be able to attend the shows. We'd love to see ANY pictures, tickets scans, reviews, newspaper reports, and anything else you come across for this show - we look forward to hearing from you!
