TOPIC: Washington, D.C. Show Review

Washington, D.C. Show Review 3 years, 7 months ago #1

Hey All,

First time here, first time seeing TAPFS.  Wow, what a show!!  All my expectations were exceeded.  This band is totally professional in every sense of the word, much more so than the usual riffraff Floyd bands that pass through DC.  I have wanted to see them since hearing of them in 2006 and I am very glad that I finally got the chance.  The highlights for me were seeing the more rare songs from The Wall (i.e Empty Spaces, One of My Turns) done live.  Having seen Pink Floyd three times, Roger Waters three times and David Gilmour once, and countless Pink Floyd tribute bands I saw about five songs performed live that I've never seen before which was a real treat, being a Floyd fan for 20 odd years.

My only real complaint was that there was no real vibe or energy coming from the audience for the better part of the show. The crowd was subdued, even for a show in DC, which is a fairly conservative town.  This might have been because the show was on a Sunday night, which is never a great night to see a live show, so people weren't going all out like they maybe normally would.  Also, this was a seated show.  The only time people really stood up were at the end of CN then again at the end of the second set.  The crowd was defiantly appreciative,  don't get me wrong, but I felt at times the band was just looking for a little more from us.  Many people left immediately after the second set, perhaps thinking the show was over or just wanting to get home.

Other than that, the show - the lights, lasers and sound - was absolutely flawless.  These guys have rehearsed this show to perfection and anyone who goes to see it is in for a great night.  I can't wait to see them again.

Setlist:

1: The Wall (side one)
2: The Wall (side two)
Encore: Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-3, 5 & 7), The Great Gig in the Sky, Wish You Were Here, One of These Days, Introduction of the band, Brain Damage>Eclipse

Maybe the audience had Monday morning on their minds ? Nice pictures though

Thanks for the review. I hope the band do not take a quiet audience for an unappreciative audience. The Wall is a multi sensory show to be savoured and not one for jumping up and screaming at. I have seen The Wall at Earls Court in '81 and Berlin in '90. I will get to as many shows as possible next spring and I cannot wait. It is going to be one hell of an experience.
Are we nearly there yet?
