ROGER WATERS THE WALL at O2 LONDON

Roger Waters spectacular updated legendary live Pink Floyd The Wall show hit London nearly 30 years after the original , featuring new advanced graphics and stage effects to add to the scintillating music which comes alive in a live rock show concert in a way that never can happen on the album , belaying the rock and blues heritage of classic Pink Floyd soundbeat.

Below is a video of the breathtaking finale:

RUSH at the SECC

A Farewell to Kings Album recommendation made me realise what criticism should be all about.I was in a record shop fiddling through albums when a complete stranger said " get this album its fucking brilliant , mate".I did get it and it was fucking brilliant.It made me realise criticism should be simple and to the point.A good art critic should reduce a work to a parable , a parable to a proverb.No need for long-winded verbiage when "fuckin" will do.

In the 80s i saw Rush a few times , always finding myself in the front , a zone where all the pushing was going on around me and a circle of guys leaving us in a eye of the storm tranquil equilibrium to enjoy the concert in a spiritual serenity.

It was an all to familiar feeling seeing over half the crowd in the audience being younger than the last time i saw the band.

Rushs secret has always been , no matter how innovative and cutting edge the music has been throughout the decades , they are still a rock band with a blues ; jazz and strong reggae backbeat and jamming style.

Here is Spirit of The Radio from the recent tour:




And the evergreen favourite Subdivisions.
