COMMENTS Roger's tour of The Wall stays in the Czech Republic for a second show in Prague. The tour moves to Poland next, for a pair of shows in Lodz. The RogerWaters.com presales were available to those who had registered their interest in particular cities. General sale tickets went on sale once the RW.com presales were done, through normal outlets including www.Sazkaticket.cz. The public sale also saw a limited number of VIP packages made available for each show on the tour. Our thanks to Jerzy for the ticket scan to the right.
WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD! Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played, and what happened as the night unfolded! Night sixteen of the tour, and the second of the two nights in Prague, which was generally a little better than the first night. If you went to this show, please let us know what you thought of the event, and if anything interesting or different happened if you've been to previous shows and can compare. CONCERT REVIEW and VIDEOS by BD CONTRIBUTOR, Simon Wimpenny So we arrived at the venue around 7pm, George, Jens and Connie still had to get tickets and within 10 minutes of getting there Kevin had helped everyone out and we all entered the venue. George and Connie had some great side section seats and Jens, Kevin and I were standing in the front section again and took up our usual place on the left side on the front rail. The crowd already sounded a touch louder tonight even before the show but still nowhere near as loud as a "normal" crowd. The wall came down amazing tonight, the first 3 rows all fell forward and it then looked like the next 5 or 6 rows were going to go backwards onto the stage, however at the last minute ALL the following rows of bricks fell forward onto the stage in one huge section. Kevin, Jens and I just looked at each other in amazement, all of us saying how it was the best “Wall Fall” we had seen. I met up briefly with Marek after the how to see how he enjoyed it, it was fantastic he said and the crowd were a lot better than the night before. Make sure you check out Simon's blog at SimonWimpenny.blogspot.com where you'll find full details of all his travels, along with more pictures and videos.
