Superb !!!!! Best I have seen yet since first seeing them in '95 and every year since.
Ian I agree is a great addition, his voice so very Gilmour like. A very slick professional show, they
just get better. Reckon I'll be taking sunglasses to the second Ipswich gig tomorrow - can't see a
thing - blinded!! Those white lights across the front and the Division Bell tour style semi-circle of lights
around Mr. Screen work superbly. No room for Skippy this time at Ipswich.

I think this is (?) the set:

Shine On 1-5
Learning To Fly
Money
Us And Them
On The Turning Away
Gunners Dream
Take It Back
Brain Damage/Eclipse

Astronomy
What Do You Want From Me
Nobody Home ( Ian singing in armchair with TV )
Time
Great Gig (Brilliant with first Ola then Amy)
Set The Controls (Awesome solo from Damien)
Sheep
Wish you were here
One Of These Days
Happiest Days Of Our Lives/Bricks 2
(Standing ovation)
Band Member Intros (By 'Kylie' Sawford as Steve called him, after Jason had introduced
Bruce Cattell, Bruce Darlington, Bruce Mac etc..then Sheila Smith, Sheila Gervers etc)
Comfortably Numb

Encore:
Hey You
Run Like Hell
With the stage lights still up, all 11 members joined hands for a bow to the audience, an
almost full house I would say as there were about 10 seats free behind us.

I don't know about you but the older you get, there are less things to excite but arriving at
the Regent, seeing the two huge Fly-by-Nite trucks and two shiny red tour buses I felt like a kid
waking up on Christmas day morning, despite having seen the guys so many times now!

Once you are familiar with the show you start to look for things like the glitter ball coming down
during Damian's Comfy solo (You too?) Everytime you think 'they've left it too late, it won't be
down in the centre of Mr.Screen in time' but it always is. Last night down it came very slowly
and it stopped at the exact split second when the lights hit it at that point in his solo. Total
professionalism from band and crew, timed to perfection.

The addition of Amy is a revelation, the girls sounded fantastic and very powerful on 'What do
you want from me' and I loved the dispersed laser effect in the 'worm' part in the middle of 'hey you'.

So after a nights sleep, on reflection yes the best performance I have seen them do so far in
probably 30+ gigs...sorry 'shows'. It really is a world class top-drawer show and I still can't wait for
tonight!...and Cambridge...and Norwich..and Bournemouth..and the Pops..and Cambridge Rock festival...
and...
