Ok, so the concert was two weeks ago, but I just got around to uploading my pictures and videos. Enjoy!

The Black Crowes - 3-9-2008

Last night we took in John Mayer's 2007 summer tour. Openers included some band called Morrison (ok, but whiney britpoprock) and Ben Folds (!!!). John rocked the house a bit, but played most tracks from Continuum, which borders on moody slacker noodling and EZ listening. Anyway, it was a great show. Pic is from my cell phone on 6x binocs. :) Best part of the show? Picking up a Ben Folds T-Shirt that reads as follows:

I <3('d) Ben Folds (before he sucked)

Regular text was in your standard thick Camp style font, parentheticals were silkscreened over in red scrawl text. Quite funny.

When I get a spare half-hour, I'll post some comments about our trip to New Orleans to see The Police. Just putting this post here will remind me to do it :)

Last Monday, Steph and I took in the Roger Waters Dark Side of the Moon 2007 toour. Let me just say that it was an amazing show. 3 full hours with a 15 minute intermission, and a great encore performance. The first half of the show was devoted to some Pink Floyd classics from their discography: The Wall, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, A Saucerful of Secrets, Wish You Were Here, Animals (and feature a Pig flying out over the crowd), The Final cut, and some of Roger's solo material. The second half of the show was the entire Dark Side of the Moon album (I'm surprised they didn't have The Wizard of Oz playing on the video screen). Even though our seats were great, they had 3 video screens. One wide-screen about the size of an IMAX screen played a synchronized video, similar to The Wall movie, whilst to smaller screens flanking the larger played close-ups of the performers.

We had fantastic seats and really enjoyed the whole show. The Pig flying out over the crowd had some political statements on the side which really made us chuckle. Congrats, Roger and crew.
