Mine has to be the huge mirror ball. just watching it shower the audience and open up revealing a blinding light on the P*U*L*S*E Show. My favorite Mr. Screen "Trick" is when it turns horizontally to halo Gilmour in blinding light during the epic Comfortably Numb Guitar Solo on Pulse.

Touche.

The mirror ball at the end of CN is nearly my favourite, but my absolute favourite is the plane flying over the crowd and crashing in the corner at the end of On The Run on P*U*L*S*E. Pure mythical legendary bliss!

If you listen to the CD, you can pinpoint the exact moment that the mirror ball is shown to the crowd ... the cheer is not deafening, but it is certainly noticable.

This is an interesting and fresh topic! Good job!

I had to go with the lasers and lights, but you can't go whong with any of it....the Floyd have always put on the show of shows! Nobody...and I do mean nobody....does it betterer!

Those copper-colored lasers they used during "Wish You Were Here" in '94 might have been the ultimate moment.....and as I recall, they had to get some kind of government clearance in order to use them at specific venues. FAA probably....

You just had a "Momentary Lapse Of Reason", my friend.

:D I've always wanted to use that in context. :D

The fact that it was huge and it just appeared out of nowhere is just sublime. The additional fact that it was to open on the bottom was even better.

Then the TOP opened! rocker I just died! That defied the laws of physics.

I know, I was watching CN on pulse when out of nowhere the most gigantic shiny thing you've ever seen appears during the solo and showers the audience and the entire earls court with millions of streams of light. then the final riff of the solo started with the gilmour sliding the guitar and it OPENS! then the other side opens, revealing a light. absolutely amazing. Wow some people actually do like the cardboard wall from 80-81. I probably wouldve chosen gerald scarfe's puppets over it, or maybe not.
