I posted this on PFO, here's my review of the 9/6 Roger show I went to:

Well guys, I went to the show last night and it was utterly mindblowing. Roger's voice sounded terrific, and the band was very tight & focused. Roger seemed to be happy to be at the PNC Bank Arts Center as well, he smiled a lot. At one point, after one of the songs ended, he said "I can't think of a better way of spending my birthday." Roger actually has the same b-day as I do, he was born yesterday in 1943, he is now 63. I was born yesterday, 15 years ago. So the fact that it was both of our birthdays and that I was seeing him live is something I'll never forget. There were also some pyrotechnics incorporated into the show during some songs. Great job with the lighting as well. I also believe a member here, flypaper38, went to the show.

The Setlist:

In The Flesh
Mother
Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-5)
Have A Cigar
Wish You Were Here
Southampton Dock
The Fletcher Memorial Home
Perfect Sense (Parts 1 & 2)
Leaving Beirut (Rog received a 50/50 mix of boos & cheers. Cheers obviously for the music, some people I know said this tune was horrible but I didn't think it was that bad. Boos because I believe some of the lyrics were anti-American).
Sheep (During the 23rd Psalm section of the song, a man came out of nowhere holding a couple of strings connected to a giant pink inflatable pig! It was truly amazing, he came up right near where I was sitting and I nearly touched the pig.)

15-minute Intermission

2nd Half, Dark Side of The Moon:
Speak To Me/Breathe
On The Run (the backdrops were very trippy, reminiscent of the early projected slide shows PF used back in the late 60's, they also had some random train noises in the song)
Time
The Great Gig In The Sky (the studio version of this song still frightens me, and I don't like what the 3 female vocalists on Pulse did with it, but the woman who sang this (name escapes me right now) did a FANTASTIC job. She packed so much emotion into her wordless vocals)
Money (Dave Kilminster was one of the definite highlights of the show, he sang on a lot of songs and was the lead guitarist. He had a really nice light green guitar as well. He ROCKED on this song! His singing wasn't bad either)
Us & Them
Any Colour You Like (fantastic job on the keyboards & synths by Jon Carin & Harry Waters (<Brain Damage
Eclipse (great ending to Dark Side, they really rocked at the end of it)

Encore:
The Happiest Days of Our Lives/Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)
Vera (very emotional, Roger actually began to tear halfway through this)
Bring The Boys Back Home (Roger's veins were pulsating in his neck during this one, he extended it to about 2 1/2 minutes, fantastic job)
Comfortably Numb (great ending, Roger came out right before they left for good, and said something like: "Did you like the f'ing pig?".

Absolutely mindboggling show. The crowd was great too, although it kind of annoyed me that during almost every song he did, large amounts of people were walking up & down the stairs, probably to get more booze. Sad.

But I stayed the entire time. Fantastic, astonishing. I can't stop describing it. If any of you have a chance to see Roger this year, BUY TICKETS! You won't regret it.
