Pink Floyd

Another item off of my Bucket List.  Chuck and I went to the Pink Floyd – The Wall concert this weekend.  We arrived in Toronto just before 5:00 and took our bags up to our hotel room.  While we were checking in, I noticed a little bit of a spelling mistake on their sign:

We were “breathing” easy the whole time we were there!  Who wouldn’t “breath” easier with this view:

The room was small, but quite nice.  Fortunately, the Air Canada Centre was only a few blocks away from our hotel.  Just before 6:00pm, we walked over to the arena.  We had VIP tickets, so we had the joys of a buffet dinner and drinks before the show.  There was really great food – especially the desserts!  Chuck snapped this picture while I tried to flee with both dessert platters:

We made our way to our amazing seats, centre, fifth row from the stage:

After a brief fireworks display:

…Roger Waters entered the scene:

Also to enter the scene was this spooky dude:

Chuck and I both agreed that with its googly eyes, it looked much like our youngest daughter, Abby:

Some kids from the Toronto area were invited to sing “We Don’t Need No Education” along with Roger:

Soon after, these two massive inflatable dudes came into view:

The wall which covered the entire stage, was put up throughout the first half of the show.

Here’s the Wall in its entirety:

The second half of the show was equally amazing.  Again, we stood the entire time and I easily burned off my meal from all of the dancing!

I didn’t get a very good shot because it was so far away, but they had a huge, remote controlled hover-pig floating over the fans:

It was an amazing show and the perfect seats made it even better.

Today’s symptoms:  Just a little weary from our exciting weekend.  Pain is not too bad today.
