Well we just got back from our week long holiday trip to Las Vegas where we had our Thanksgiving and Aimee and I got to see The Wall. A holiday in Vegas is kinda weird but from the people we talked to a lot of people do it.
The real highlight was getting to see Roger Waters preform The Wall. The last time I go to see a Floyd event was 1987 and for Aimee it was 1992, so we were very nostalgic and we even got to have a dinner alone for a change. The show was amazing, brilliantly done, and very moving. Roger Waters took the show to new levels by making the show relevant to today's society by talking about greed, the sex trade, politics, and the influence of technology on today's society.
Roger Waters had talked about how today's wall was the wall that technology presents, so it was only fitting that I had to ask the lady next too me to stop texting so I could enjoy the show.
The show also had tributes to fallen war heroes, activists and others that have been caught in the violence of war and poverty. Like I said very moving. Below is some video from another show, Aimee and I didn't take any this time, we just wanted to enjoy the show.
This video was one of the more moving parts for me, the bricks turn into the pictures of people that have been victims of violence, then they just all disappear to make the wall black, heavy shit.
