Pink Floyd
Another item off of my Bucket List. Chuck and I went to the Pink Floyd - The Wall concert this weekend. We arrived in Toronto just before 5:00 and took our bags up to our hotel room. While we were checking in, I noticed a little bit of a spelling mistake on their sign:
We were "breathing" easy the whole time we were there! Who wouldn't "breath" easier with this view:
The room was small, but quite nice. Fortunately, the Air Canada Centre was only a few blocks away from our hotel. Just before 6:00pm, we walked over to the arena. We had VIP tickets, so we had the joys of a buffet dinner and drinks before the show. There was really great food - especially the desserts! Chuck snapped this picture while I tried to flee with both dessert platters:
We made our way to our amazing seats, centre, fifth row from the stage:
After a brief fireworks display:
...Roger Waters entered the scene:
Also to enter the scene was this spooky dude:
Chuck and I both agreed that with its googly eyes, it looked much like our youngest daughter, Abby:
Some kids from the Toronto area were invited to sing "We Don't Need No Education" along with Roger:
Soon after, these two massive inflatable dudes came into view:
The wall which covered the entire stage, was put up throughout the first half of the show.
Here's the Wall in its entirety:
The second half of the show was equally amazing. Again, we stood the entire time and I easily burned off my meal from all of the dancing!
I didn't get a very good shot because it was so far away, but they had a huge, remote controlled hover-pig floating over the fans:
It was an amazing show and the perfect seats made it even better.
Today's symptoms: Just a little weary from our exciting weekend. Pain is not too bad today.
