COMMENTS
An exstatic crowd greeted Roger
and his band upon his appearance in the Turkish city. Another good
show, and another show with a stable setlist. Seemingly, Roger has
decided on the running order, and, barring surprise guests or problems,
we think that the set is now pretty much cast in stone.
Next stop will be the village of
Neve Shalom, in Israel. A historic show, and one that will hopefully be
remembered for all the right reasons.

SHOW REVIEW
By BD contributor, Cengiz VARLIK
Believable! It was real! A night of most respectful art.
Roger Waters and Pink Floyd will
be mentioned as the milestones of 20th century art in book that will be
written 500 years from now. Roger is Gustav Mahler of modern times.
To me, Perfect Sence was amazing
with "earthquake" under our feet. Roger was unhearable during the
entire encore due to more than 10,000 singing and shouting along. But,
Comfortably Numb lacked the mood of Pulse version although it was still
astonishing.
What a great night. Thank you every single one who has participated in this project.
 
SHOW REVIEW
By BD contributor, Michael Asmar
well this is so hard to describe.
Witnessing Mr Roger Waters performing live has always been like a dream
to me as an Iranian with all the obstacles for a rock concert to take
place in my country, but thanks to our neighbor country Turkey, it came
to reality.
words are far to small to express
our feelings when Roger appeared on stage. You could hear screams and
see cries of joy all over the place, and what a incredible moment when
he started "In The Flesh". I couldn't stop the tears from falling down,
seeing my teenage hero in front of me. For me all the songs were
incredible but Vera, Sheep, the Fletcher MH and the whole Dark Side
were the highlights.
Roger was so cool and of course
his band were in best shape, what else could you expect. Thank you
Istanbul for giving us such a remarkable night, and thank you Mr Waters
for all your incredible songs.
SHOW REVIEW
By BD contributor, Shahin Kiaei, from Iran
I'm sure Roger had lots of fun
that night with us in Istanbul. Die hard Floyd / Waters fans were all
over the place and lots of them from my country, Iran, and they all
screamed for him. But our story was different. We have lot of movies,
pics and sounds from that night but they won't describe my feelings at
all.
After all the obstacles I had for my trip to Istanbul, I abandoned myself and Roger carried me in his arms!
All my life I've been dreaming
about Roger and he is really my man. After that night I realised: Oh my
god, he is only a child! You must see him playing guitar and singing
like a 12 year old boy who wanna play guitar for the first time! He
plays with a lot of eagerness, enthusiasm and strong desire.
I couldn't stay with my friends
that night. I had to face him alone and while i was crying / screaming
/ smiling for him, I have no doubt that this one night will change my
entire life.
Our thanks to Cengiz VARLIK, Okan DOGU from www.pinkfloydturk.net,
and to Tanol Turkoglu, for their help, from the moment the show was
announced. Okan has set up a special Turkish fan website for this show
- www.rogerwatersistanbul.com - which will be kept up to date with things specific to this show.
