Rogers Waters: The Wall (again)...
Last night my brother Simon, Paul's mate Gareth and I took another trip back to the O2 Arena to see Roger Waters perform Pink Floyd's seminal work The Wall again. Better view this time so better photos. Sadly no Dave Gilmour this time.

Roger Waters: The Wall...
At 10pm on 30th Nov 1979 I sat with my tape deck for two hours and recorded Tommy Vance interviewing Roger Waters as he played The Wall for the first time all the way through on Radio One. For the next 6 months I listened to it every single night. No need to say, I'm a fan.
Last Thursday Simon, Paul and I went to see Roger Waters perform The Wall at the O2 Arena. Hey You - Dave Gilmour popped up too. Great night of explosions, special effects and sublime music. We were in heaven.

Kylie at O2...
Last Friday Darren and I went to see Kylie Minogue's Aphrodite – Les Folies tour at the O2 Arena. It was promoting her recent Aphrodite album. We had standing tickets but had arrived fairly early (and did a bit of queue jumping - thanks Shaun) so got a got position for our £65. We were about two or three people away from the thrusting walkway. The people on the other side of the walkway in the middle section had paid £250. This area was called the splash zone. With good reason it turned out.
Kylie performed most of the Aphrodite album along with much of her back catalogue. OK, she's not the best singer in the world and, yes, she's no the best dancer but boy does she put on a great show. We loved it. Greek and Roman themes were everywhere - big production numbers with heavy nods to Busby Berkeley and, inevitably, Madonna. There were athletic dancers, fabulous costumes, feathers, smoke, state of the art back projection - all turned up to eleven. She even had a flying angel that carried her into the audience.
Of especial note were the many water fountains that played for the encore - All The Lovers. They wowed us and drenched the splash zone people in equal measure.

Scissor Sisters...
On Wednesday night the lovely Paul gave me two free tickets to go and see the Scissor Sisters at the O2 Arena. I took Ian and we had great seats. The show was great and we sang and danced along.
