Saturday night, we saw an awesome concert by these people, and they played the entirety of Dark Side of the Moon during the first half and various selections from The Wall in the second half. It was incredible, seriously. It was more like performance art, in a way.
They weren't trying to be Pink Floyd, which, in my opinion, was the best part. They basically were trying to recreate the album precisely. One of the best little moments in the concert was between "Great Gig in the Sky" and "Money" where they paused for a few moments because that's where you would flip the record over if you were listening to the album on vinyl. And everything was analog. They used old fashioned alarm clocks, windchimes, bells on the beginning of "Time". And the opening to "Money" was some seriously epic percussion. It was freaking gorgeous. The lead singer looked like Neil Gaiman. And these were not "pretty" guys, these were homely rock and rollers with serious fucking talent. I loved every minute of it, every note and I swear I died and went to Nirvana when they encored with "Comfortably Numb."
It made me realize how much I've missed going to see live music. I miss electric guitars and electric bass, and watching how they do their thing, and I miss the bass drum beats tearing through my chest.
Gorgeous, so fucking gorgeous. I want to go back in time and do that again.
