Description of an Event - Roger Waters Concert

When I was 14, my father took me to one of the greatest concerts I’ve ever been to. Roger Waters (Pink Floyd), the former leader of my favorite band, was playing The Dark Side Of The Moon in Estadio Nacional on March 14^th 2007 at 9 PM. What a way to give a closure to my summer holidays!

After waiting 4 hours to get in, my father and I ran into the stadium to get a good location and we choose to stay in the third row. As time passed by, lots of people were arriving and you could see in their faces expressions of joy, friendship inside of a peaceful place. By 8:30 the stadium was packed to the rafters and by 9 PM, with a British punctuality, the chords of “In The Flesh” filled Santiago and the crowd sang at one voice. The concert ended up at 12 pm aprox.

What I found outstanding was the structure of the stage, and the special effects added to it during the concert. For instance, when they played the whole "Dark Side Of The Moon" set of songs, they showed up a giant prism as the main symbol of the disk and lighted up almost all the stadium. I had never seen something like that. 


All in all, it was a day that I won't ever forget and I would love to watch him in concert again because he gives an incredible message of love and social awareness with his songs plus a unique music style.
