I was at this show with a friend. What a great night that was. While I didn't record the show myself, thankfully, someone in the audience (somewhere) did. This was my first Pink Floyd concert and it was their first tour after the years of battling that had been going on within the band. This was the first tour, "A Momentary Lapse of Reason", without Roger Waters in the band anymore. And it was a spectacular show too.

The seating my friend and I had for this show was astonishing. I know we were dead center on one of the first few rows. However, looking at my ticket it looks confusing. I'm not sure what "Section M" refers to (maybe "Middle"), but I know where we were :-)
It was a miracle that we found our vehicle after the show. We never paid any attention when parking and there was a ton of people, all parked around the venue. I think this was a sold out show too. But by some stroke of luck, we walked out and just happened to walk upon our vehicle (one in a multi-thousand shot). Sitting in traffic, and even afterwards getting on Loop 610, was a nightmare. It was hard enough walking to your car and getting out of the parking lot was next to impossible.
I crack up looking at the $20 price tag on the ticket :-) And those were the days of rising ticket prices too.
A special THANK YOU goes to "led boots" for getting me this 2 CD copy of the show. Every site I looked at that had this show had either dead torrents or no listing at all for the show.
I'm not sure why the last track, "Run Like Hell", has a scratchy sound in it. But there is a skipping type of sound. The song doesn't skip. I'm not really sure what's up with that, but it is the last song too.
Finally getting this show, just short of 25 years later, goes to show that you should never give up on searching for those concerts you attended but didn't record. I knew that one day it would be found out there. And thanks to fellow traders who helped me out, I finally found it!
What a night to remember, and for those who grab this show, I hope you can get close to the enjoyment I had being there.
Enjoy the show...
