Roger Waters

Maybe I am now too old for outright cynicism, but I went to Roger Waters' concert in the vector Arena last might, and was, almost literally, blown away by the sheer spectacle of the event, and its political message. Pink Floyd was never a favourite band of mine. It became over-weighty and sententious and not a little ponderous (in my humble view).  Yet the explicit politics of rights and struggle in last night's show was welcome, even if, as I suspect, many of the younger people there missed many of the allusions (though maybe I am wrong - here's hoping). And the effects were magnificent, as was the quality of the musicianship.

And I loved the pig.
