The Radio K.A.O.S. tour was my first solo Waters experience, that was 25 years ago. More recently Mrs. Rusty James and I took in the Dark Side Of The Moon tour in 2007. His son Harry was on keyboards, stellar show. Looking forward to seeing The Wall when it comes to Vancouver in May at the new, and albeit cavernous, BC Place stadium.
Rusty, trust me you will LOVE The Wall show no matter the size of the venue. In fact, the current staging is such it really is meant to play in a large/huge venue and you get a much better overall feeling for the show and music being near "the back" where you can take it all in (I saw it 4 times in 2010 from all different angles from the rear of the floor to 3rd row). I hear Roger is really working on the staging to make it even more impressive for the larger venues this second time around in the states, so I'm seriously looking forward to that.
Harry is still on the keyboards and does a fine job. I regret to this day not seeing the KAOS or Pros and Cons shows, but one of my favorite concerts EVER was the In The Flesh tour in Baltimore back in the mid/late 90s...I'm unrepentant in my admiration for Roger and what he brings to a live show. And the current Wall tour is seriously mindblowing and an absolute must-see.
