I just got back from the Outside the Wall concert at The Odeon in Saskatoon, and I have to say, It was amazing! Here's the set list, short review to follow:

Set 1:
Speak To Me
Breathe In The Air
Time/Breathe Reprise
The Great Gig In The Sky
Money
Us And Them
Any Colour You Like
Brain Damage
Eclipse

Set 2:
One Of These Days
Astronomy Domine
Coming Back To Life
Learning To Fly
Keep Talking
Have A Cigar
Wish You Were Here
Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts I-V

Set 3:
In The Flesh?
The Thin Ice
Another Brick In The Wall, Part I
Happiest Days Of Our Lives
Another Brick In The Wall, Part II
Mother
Goodbye Blue Sky
Empty Spaces
Young Lust
One Of My Turns
Don't Leave Me Now
Another Brick In The Wall Part III
Goodbye Cruel World
Hey You
Is There Anybody Out There?
Nobody Home
In The Flesh
Run Like Hell

Let me start off by saying that I was overcome with sheer joy when the band stepped onto stage and I heard a familiar heart pounding. Outside The Wall's Dark Side of the Moon set is almost flawless. When I say flawless, I mean it is substantially better than the one on PULSE, but not as good as the original. During Money, they played the Money video on the screen behind them. The heart in Speak To Me was accompanied by matching pulsating red lights.

The second set, taking place about 10-15 minutes after the first, was a bit of a mix and mash jumble, but done incredibly well. Wish You Were Here was accompanied by a very moving slideshow of Syd Barrett on the rear screen, and Shine On was beautifully done.

The third set, taking place after a half-hour break for the band, was done amazingly well. By this time the band had a little (not enough to affect their playing, though) alcohol in them. They were looking a little hot and tired, which made them perfectly ready to play a majority session of The Wall. It was done with the raw emotion that Roger's conceptual masterpiece deserves. The entire crowd were on there feet (again) by the beginning of Another Brick In The Wall Part I.

The concert also had very good lighting for a tribute band. They brought their own stuff, and wired into the Odeon's house lights. They even brought their own small laser, which shot out an array of green beams. Very cool.

Take all that, add the personal feeling of a small (200-300 person) venue and some bang-on vocals and music, and you have one hell of a Floyd experience. I'd definately say that you see them if you get the chance.

sounds like a great show M9! I think it's great that there are many really good PF tributes out there bringing it to fans LIVE! Pardon my geographical ineptitude, but where in Canada is Saskatoon?

I'm sure it was a great show, but something is unsettling about not finishing the Wall set of the show. :Oo:

@Woof Oink Baa: Well, it was a four hour concert (including breaks between sets), so I can't say that I'm complaining about them not finishing the Wall. Finishing with Run Like Hell gave us a good chunk of it, and left everyone to go home really pumped, while the end of The Wall kind of settles people down like the denoument in a story.

@cevor: Saskatoon is located sort of in south-central Saskatchewan. Here's a map: Saskatchewan. It's right under the word "Saskatchewan" on that map.

Anyway, I forgot to mention in my original post that the concert started shortly after 8:00 pm, and was finished just after midnight.

It's also very difficult to pull off Waiting for the Worms, Stop, Show Must Go On and The Trial

Morglor9 · 04-09-2006 12:32 PM

Yeah, I thought about that. All the different voices would have been tough. It's too bad that they skipped Comfortably Numb, too. And The Show Must Go On.

When we do The Wall (like on April 29th for example), we bring in an extra keyboard, 4 extra singers, a kids' chior, a Judge and a lunatic schoolmaster.

M9..thanks again...
I to prefer to do the whole thing (we grew from 4 musicians to 10 to pull it off) and bill it as such, the ending screams for theatrical reinactment and as W1P says,"very difficult"...if they didn't bill it as the whole thing, then you get what you get...4 hour show with intermissions is very impressive

The laser they use is indeed shocking effect
