WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!

Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played!

The third show in the North American leg of Roger's 2008 Dark Side Of The Moon mini tour, and the band sound to be getting better and better! The pig made a break for it, with another shot at freedom. Floating away into the night, so far it has not been seen again, and no-one seems to know its whereabouts... Adallas - evan koch shot of the pig can be seen to the left (just click the thumbnail) prior to its departure. Our thanks to Evan Koch for sending it over!

Initial reports and pictures are now arriving, including a stack of truly fabulous shots from BD contributors Chris Popp, Pedro Cabrera and Rob Levine which are shown below - simply click on the thumbnail(s) of interest to see them in a much larger format.

Sunday sees the band (and crew) arrive in Houston for the second of the two Texan shows. If you are going, have a great time and don't forget to tell us about how the show was for you...

CONCERT REVIEW and PICTURES by BD CONTRIBUTOR, Chris Popp

I had made two previous trips to see Roger. The first was at the Hollywood Bowl in Oct.'06 and again at Milwaukee Riverfest in July'07. I was never so delighted to see Mr. Waters was going to return to Dallas, my home. This was by far the best show of the ones I had seen. I'm not sure if it was because I scored some sweet seats or the fact that the band was really solid. Probably a good bit of both. No need to go into details about the show, just know this is not a concert to be missed.

CONCERT REVIEW by BD CONTRIBUTOR, Tamara

Typical squirmy, disengaged Dallas audience, but a great show by RW and the band. Same setlist as Denver, I believe...? No violin player though...

I have some crappy cellphone pictures of the pig ("All Religions Divide" and a drawn-on penis with "Cheney" on it, among other graffiti), which entered the amphitheatre right next to us and nearly hit us in the head as the wranglers tried to control it. They eventually let Piggy go to float away into the night sky... and right into the Love Field flight pattern. I hope it didn't freak out some pilot somewhere.

Overall a great show. Heard a couple of missed notes here and there (I swear Roger screwed up the baseline intro of Money), but extremely fun and satisfying overall.

CONCERT REVIEW by BD CONTRIBUTOR, Rusty Brakebill

Wow this show was amazing. First off I got to see some classic Pink Floyd songs, music that I never imagined I would get to hear live!

The music was tight, the band was great. During Sheep the pig came out for a walk through the park and he flew away into the night; I looked back at him until he drifted out of sight.

Then they came out and played Dark Side Of The Moon, which was amazing!!!! Then they did their encore which was Another Brick In The Wall, Vera, and Comfortably Numb! This was one of the best shows I've seen in my life, and it was outdoors so that made it even better plus I was able to share this milestone experience with my father who is a huge Pink Floyd fan (who had never seen Roger Waters live), and some great friends of mine Kyle, Steven, and Steve!
