COMMENTS
With Roger hearing the sad news
about Syd Barrett's passing the previous afternoon, the show at Lucca
proved to be a restrained, subdued concert, with much emotion on show.
Obviously the news had hit the musicians hard.
At the beginning of Wish You Were
Here, Roger said: "We dedicate this whole evening to Syd, my old
friend, but particularly this song". From the brief comments we've had
so far about the show, it was a touching, heartfelt tribute to Barrett.
Pictures from the concert thanks
to Dany & Michela, with the exception of the final shot of the
stage, complete with flame throwers, which is thanks to Sjors Trimbach.
SHOW REVIEW
By contributor, Giovanni Silvestri
I have no words to describe the
emotion in singing with Roger the main verse of SOYCD and the entire
WYWH the day after we knew that Syd was dead.
The arrival of Nick Mason made
the audience explode and to hear the entire DSOTM played live by half
of the Pink Floyd was a very incredible experience (I know... in 1994
three quarters of Pink Floyd played DSOTM, but I hadn't seen them live)
Just a few word about
lip-syncs... my wife didn't know anything about these rumours but...
she had the impression that Roger was in playback in a pair of
occasions. I also noticed something "strange" during Sheep...
All in all that was an incredible
show, who cares about those rumours, I think, if it's true, that he had
his reasons to do this way.
The only thing I can affirm is that I amused myself a lot.
Always Shine!
