Hola, I've been to the first concert of the tour in Dortmund yesterday and it was amazing! A cool light show, a very small venue (about 1000 people) and a really sucky audience (me and my girlfriend belonged to the 5 people who standing up for applause)! The setlist was had a few surprises, for example a 20 minute version of Echoes, he played two tracks from DSOTM (which I didn't expect him to, because he didn't on the 2000 "tour".
The first set was a full version of "On An Island". A few accoustic pieces, but most of them rock! Pretty interesting, but a few songs sounded too much like the others.
After a 15 minutes break he played the promised "goldies" (as he described them at the beginning of a show), which started with Shine On (pretty good, and not accoustic as on the the DG DVD), followed by some other older songs like Wot's...Uh The Deal (1972) & Wearing The Inside-Out (1994). This was followed by 2 great DSOTM songs Breathe and Time (without On The Run in the middle). After that he played an old Syd Barrett song called Dominoes (like on the 2002 DVD and The Pink Floyd & Syd Barrett Story) and High Hopes! This big surprise of the evening was a complete version of Echoes, I actually couldn't believe my ears when he played the bloody 20 minute piece and the rock part was really amazing with the light effects. He left for a minute and came back for the encores, Wish You Were Here and Comfortably Numb (my fav).
It was a great show and during the break, the sound technics played a bit of the weird introduction for Run Like Hell (that one noise, I have no idea what it is), so maybe on the next show he will play 3 encores: Wish You Were Here/Comfortably Numb/Run Like Hell (as on the Division Bell Tour)!
Anyways, those who got a ticket are pretty lucky!

For those who are too bored to read this, here's a short song summary:

Take a Breath
Red Sky at Night

The new stuff is okay! Well, of course I expected to hear something more psychedelic, like in the old days, but I don't think he prefers it that much solo! I really like On An Island (cute mellow song) and Take A Breath rocks pretty much too, but that's basicly it with the new songs! All in all it is a very good pop album, I wouldn't settle it in the genre of rock! 4,1 of 5 stars
At the moment I am just wondering if I should buy tickets for Roger Waters in June in Berlin! I heard he is going to perform DSOTM start to finish and that could be exciting too! But I am kinda scared he might perform his new opera!

but no "Island Jam" (Non album track from "On An Island")???

Really cool that DG played a complete version of "Echoes"...That had to be the ****!!!

Oh yeah, The cd "On An Island" is starting to grow on me...Fits the mood I am in during this March.
