The Setlist:
The Wall (of course)

Learning to Fly
GGitS
WYWH
One of these Days
Band Intros
Brain Damage / Eclipse
==========================================================

What a night at The Fillmore! - the House Bill Graham built. I'm going to echo other reviewers here, but the Aussies truly outdid themselves again and brought their already mindblowing show to the next level. If there was any doubt which one is Pink, for 3 hours it WAS Ian Cattell. He nailed the vocals right on the head and carried the persona of Pink right down to his psychotic core. Jamie Humpries was as wicked as ever on the guitar, dare I say as good as, uhummmm, David Gilmour himself. Paul Bonnie's drums shook the foundation of the entire Bay Area, especially during OOTD as the whole floor of the Fillmore rattled. The ladies' voices sent shivers down my spine as they sang like angels (especially Mother & GGitS). The others in the band were just awesome, too.

RANDOM OBSERVATIONS:
Again, like posted in an earlier review, it was weird seeing Comfy and Run Like Hell played in the middle of setlist, but pretty darn awesome that there was still more to come after these traditional encores. The laser show was the best yet, as they stunningly cut through the smoke created by the fog machines and the SF crowd. The Fillmore is a big ballroom with no chairs on the main floor, so it was a general admission standing crowd. Usually people are sitting down in seats at concerts. But seeing The Wall on my feet was the best, as it felt like you were part of the enthralled audience in the movie. I was a little bummed that our encore set was shorter than the other shows (no Time or SOYCD), ahhh but oh well. This was the first show I have seen without Jason Sawford, I can't remember the keyboardist's name, but he played awesome and even wore a similar hat during the encores.

All in all, what a HELLUVA SHOW!

I wasn't at the Fillmore show but I have to agree with your review as applied to the Gibson show in LA that I did attend (although that's not Jamie Humphries on this tour).  However, in referenece to the bold portion of your quote above, I must point out that Ian is not in Which One's Pink?

Glad that you enjoyed the show and thank you for your review.
              I think you may find that it wasn't Jamie Humpries you were watching and listening to on stage ? From what we gather from previous posts he has no part in proceedings at the moment.
  If I'm completely wrong no doubt somebody will come on here and shout at me.            Dan the man does it again ! Well done for using any and every opportunity to highlight W1P

Great review Hyflyer. Many thanks.

Nice plug Dan, subtle but hit the mark
Are we nearly there yet?
