Arena di Verona
5 June 2006
Recorded...Roger Waters<br />Arena di Verona<br />5 June 2006<br /><br />Recorded using Sony PCM-M1 DAT with AT831s Series Microphones <br />through a Low-Z to Hi-Z Input Transformer. <br /><br />Mastered from DAT to Pioneer PDR-609 Stand alone CDR > CD Wave > > flac<br /><br />This recording came out very well but there is some wind noise during <br />the first set as there was a storm brewing which we were lucky to almost<br />avoid during the gig. This does not in my opinion detract to any great <br />degree from the enjoyment of the recording.<br /><br />CD One<br /><br />FIRST HALF: <br /><br />1. In The Flesh<br />2. Mother<br />3. Shine On You Crazy Diamond<br />4. Leaving Beirut<br />5. Have A Cigar<br />6. Wish You Were Here<br />7. Set The Controls For the Heart Of The Sun<br />8. The Gunner's Dream<br />9. Southampton Dock<br />10. The Fletcher Memorial Home<br />11. Perfect Sense (Parts 1 and 2)<br /><br />CD Two<br /><br />1. Sheep<br /><br />SECOND HALF: <br /><br />Dark Side of the Moon.<br /><br />2. Speak To Me<br />3. Breathe<br />4. On The Run<br />5. Time<br />6. Breathe (Reprise)<br />7. The Great Gig In The Sky<br />8. Money<br />9. Us And Them<br />10. Any Colour You Like<br />11. Brain Damage<br />12. Eclipse<br /><br />ENCORE: <br /><br />13. Band Introduction<br />14. The Happiest Days Of Our Lives<br />15. Another Brick In The Wall (Pt 2)<br />16. Vera<br />17. Bring the Boys back Home<br />18. Comfortably Numb<br /><br />This was always going to be any interesting test for me. <br /><br />I saw two David Gilmour gigs in Manchester and London followed by the two <br />Roger Waters gigs in Verona all within 11 days.You already know from my <br />previously torrented recording of Manchetser how great I thought the <br />David Gilmour gig was.<br /><br />Personally I have always been a fan of Roger's work above that of David since <br />the split in 1987. That is not to say I am not a Gilmour fan so please do not <br />start that thread here. But after the Manchester and London gigs I thought <br />Roger would not be able to top them. How wrong I was proved to be.<br /><br />The whole live presentation of the music by Roger and band is done from a <br />completely different perspective to that of David. Whilst David's gig was more <br />laid back and well mannered, Roger's, in comparison, is a full on rock show.<br /><br />The setlist was excellent and was tweeked just enough from the 1999/2000/2002<br />to include a number of interesting additions. It was great to see "The Gunner's <br />Dream" back for the first time since the Pros and Cons tour in 1984/1985. Also <br />to see him play "The Fletcher Memorial Home" for the first time as well as "Sheep"<br />for the first time in 29 years were treats.<br /><br />But let's not dwell on specific songs. The show as a whole works magnificently.<br /><br />This recording is from the second of the two nights in Verona. I recorded the first <br />night too but it misses the encores due to technical difficulties. I will post it <br />anyway as it is until I can find another recording to patch the missing encores from.<br /><br />Finally I would like to dedicate this recording to a few English guys who I met in a bar <br />near the backstage entrance to the Arena di Verona on Sunday. It was nice talking to you <br />and I know we all had a ball these two nights.<br /><br />I have included a few photos I took. If anyone with any expertise wants to use them to <br />make some artwork then please feel free.<br /><br />Enjoy<br /><br />davemDr. Forresterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06274253625619443854noreply@blogger.com
