Five years ago today was my first experience seeing Roger Waters play at the Xcel Energy Center here in St. Paul and of course, as readers and followers of this blog know, I did review his recent show here back on June 3rd highlighting, "The Wall". I remember distinctly, from that first show though, all the pyrotechnics and showmanship that went into it as well as the whole of the set list. Waters' band lineup was slightly different back then, too. But, the show was a perfect illustration of what "Dark Side" and some of the other great Pink Floyd albums of the '70s including "Wish You Were Here", "Animals", and parts of "The Wall" were all about.
The set list as I recall was:
Set 1:
1. In The Flesh
2. Mother
3. Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun
4. Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts II through V, abridged)
5. Have a Cigar
6. Wish You Were Here
7. Southampton Dock
8. The Fletcher Memorial Home
9. Perfect Sense
10. Leaving Beirut
11. Sheep
Set 2: (Dark Side of the Moon)
1. Speak To Me/Breathe
2. On The Run
3. Time/Breathe (reprise)
4. The Great Gig in the Sky
5. Money
6. Us And Them
7. Any Colour You Like
8. Brain Damage
9. Eclipse
Encore:
1. The Happiest Days of Our Lives
2. Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)
3. Vera
4. Bring The Boys Back Home
5. Comfortably Numb
An incredible show to be sure and one I will always remember.
