As with a lot of these things, you notice more stuff second time round. For example, during Another Brick in the Wall Pt1, there is a guy writing graffiti on the wall.

Interesting to see how different audiences react too. Still far too many idiots trying to record the whole fking thing on a mobile banghead

Sorry, I just don't get it.

You pay £85 for a ticket, and then miss most of it because you're trying to film a clip on a crappy mobile - whilst obscuring the view of the person behind.

Cost of ticket + Watching it once + atmposphere = £85
Watching it as many times as you want + the memories the video gives you... Priceless.

This is why they make DVDs and Blu-ray.

I can see both sides here - it wasn't as though there were postcards for sale on the way out or anything.

That said, when Pods and I went last Thursday, there was some muppet sat right in front of us who spent the entire fking show either

- Bouncing around like some over excited schoolkid
- Taking loads of videos on both his camera and iphone
- Air drumming like a window licker, his enthusiastic invisible tub thumping meaning he kept drifting in to the centre aisle, only to be pushed back in gently by the stewards

I have no idea why he went - I'm sure he enjoyed it but he saw most of it either looking at his iphone screen, or through the back lcd of his camera.

His drum kit did only seem to consist of a cymbal, which was quite amusing hehe

OK, but of perspective here.

Sure, take a cheeky video - I have no problem with that, but the guy last night recorded the whole thing from start to finish. Given where I was sat, I could see that for the most part he was focussed on Waters, or indeed his feet. On many occasions missed the spectacle of what was being displayed on the Wall, unless he really has a thing for ageing rock stars feet...

I was surprised at the number of adults that can't hold their wee wee for more than an hour, but other than that the show was awesome!

Didn't go to the concert but just watched it a few times on the internet, pure class and the last time I suspect we will see Waters, Gilmour and Mason on the stage at the same time.

Epic show, did the right thing and got seats down near the front, A3, bloody brilliant, one of the best gigs i've been to for a long time, and was great to see The Wall live with a few current images thrown in! They did it proud, happy Floyd fan biggrin

Backstage, that would be something smile No, hospitality yes, at the 'Proud 2' club, which frankly was very good, great food and free flowing booze! Seats were down in A3, row U so not exactly the front, but plenty close enough to feel 'involved'...... No Gilmour or Mason sadly, but i had a great evening none the less, very happy and still pretty pissed biggrin
