WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!
Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played!
Night nineteen of the tour, and the first of five (non-consecutive) nights in at the iconic Madison Square Garden, in the midtown part of Manhattan, bordering Hell's Kitchen.
The performance throughout was yet again great, and proved an audio and visual treat! A Great Day For Freedom had returned from being dropped for the Hollywood Bowl shows. The audience were a bit subdued in their ovation at the end of the show proper - Scattered - which made things feel a little awkward. I guess it doesn't help that despite an incredible song live, with a great solo, it has a quiet ending. And, being a non-Floyd set closer which was recently released, maybe it isn't as well known. The audience levels raised significantly when David stepped to the microphone to bid us all goodnight.
One slight tweak to the show was the introduction of more High Hopes balls - looked to be around 20 of them now, not that it is easy to count them as they all fly around at different angles. The lovely Marc Brickman's excellent lighting continues going from strength to strength too.
We'd love to know in more detail how the concert went. Did you go? Let us know what YOU thought!
