This isn't the kind of concert to dissect, to pore over playlists. It's a concert you should have been at, one to experience.
Where the massive background screen showed emptying whiskey bottles and wild videos, psychedelia and storytelling, and was truly as vital to the effect as the music.
Where Waters' band played an astonishing version of Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun.
Where Shine On You Crazy Diamond got even more applause than Another Brick In The Wall.
Where India, introduced to the tragic comic-book song Leaving Beirut, joined in vociferously with all the Bush-bashing.
Where we finally heard The Great Gig In The Sky, Money and Us And Them, back to back.
Yeah, and where Pigs flew. A massive porker, with love for Kafka and unity graffiti'd all over it.
You know what? It all made Perfect Sense.
