Well, the 2013 Roger Waters The Wall Live tour had to finish somewhere, and it would be hard to argue that the Stade de France in the north of Paris on Saturday night didn't make the most of such a momentous show.
From the bouyant atmosphere felt on the public transport approaching the stadium, to the joy and anticipation clear on the faces of those walking up to, and into, the Stade, to the 80,000 crammed into the venue and making the most of this final concert, Roger and the band couldn't have wished for a better conclusion! Even Nick Mason travelled to Paris for the performance - clearly not wishing to miss such a show.
Musically and visually, the show went without a hitch, with Roger clearly feeling quite emotional - he didn't really seem to want to leave the stage for the last time, on the warm Parisian night. Followers of our Facebook page were able to (when the phone network in the stadium allowed!) see pictures from the show throughout the evening. We hope you enjoyed them. Our review of the show, more (and better) pictures, and video clips, will follow as normal on the showpage.
If you've been to any of the shows since September 2010, we hope you had a good time. If you didn't manage to, we hope our coverage of the 219 shows has given you at the very least a taste of what The Wall meant to people. Hopefully now it will be all systems go to get the DVD of the show complete!
