Probably I was expecting too much, but the show ended up being very dull and uninspired. But I do love my DVD of The Wall live in Berlin, so I'm seriously contemplating making a pilgrimage to what, we're told. will be the last performances of The Wall. A Lebanese colleague of mine is a huge fan also; we're quietly scheming to forsake our families and steal off to see Roger at a still-undecided venue. Realistically, it's unlikely to happen, but I'll post here again if dreams do come true. I saw Roger Waters live in Johannesburg in 2002 (“In the Flesh” tour) and was – sadly – very disappointed.

Unfortunately it's my Silver Wedding Anniversary and Mrs Dog has her sights set on Africa - now if you can come up with a cunning plan to go on safari in Fingal instead then we're on.

Looks like we could be seeing it twice. When the dates were announced, we spotted the date for Mannheim. Mrs SP has often said that Mannheim is one of her very favourite places in the whole world (full of nutters) and it's also not that far from her home town, so the plans are already afoot to go there to see it and have a short break there with her loopy friends. Then he (Mr Waters) goes and announces that it will also be performed in Dublin and my Algerian friend (who has never been to a concert in his life) has asked if I will accompany him to that one. I must admit, I am quite looking forward to these dates, does anyone else intend to revisit their youth next year? Or maybe catch up on what they missed first time round?

And your last line bring up a good point, the sense of community that LD has established here so quickly is astonishing - here's to more of the same in the next decade! Lovely to see you back Ken.

It was not my intention but I’m afraid I do tend to criticize more than I should – you are not the first person to remind me of this. Anyway, let us move forward on this issue – I have actually spent some time traveling lately and utilized this time to re-visit ‘The Wall’ whilst also researching the concept and meaning behind, and although I believe you hyped the album up too much by stating “it’s probably the best music ever produced” you are quite correct in stating that it is the work of genius and it did represent a milestone for rock music. One more thing, it is good to be amongst friends. Note to Laughing Dog

Its the simplest thing in the world to criticize and I normally have no problem with it - but lets analzye first and be constructive with our criticism. Anyway, I'm sure Ken's a big boy and has been insulted by better people than me.
