Can't do a set list. Lots of stuff from Dark Side of the Moon, some from the Wall, nice to have heard Final Cut, that song is truely under-rated and Joe has a way of making it personal and bringing you right into the music, a great song. I am not a big fan of Shine On..., but the guys have been at work lately and have breathed new life into that song and where the original version is preditictable they have opened the doors and just throw the song at you right out of the blue. I fully apprecaited what they did with it. Another creative thing they did throught the performance was these discordant accents done by both Joe and Scott at random times that commanded your attention. The sound quality was much, much better. Especially Todds drumming, it was inside my chest and clear as the sound of cracking ice on a frozen morning. But the absolute best was the pieces from Animals. The performance of Dogs alone was as if i was for now hearing it for the first time and there is no doubt that nobody has ever performed it better. I recently heard them do Pigs and if they ever decide to do an Animals show i reccommend that you drag your best friends and be there for it. Thanks guys for ending the show with Outside the Wall, that little number has a way of both letting us down to the ground and reminds us that you guys are real people for it is a humble little song and delivered sans eletronique. Great show, see you in Falls Church. Did i mention that we are quite deaf there?
