Water Water Everywhere!!!!

On the 10th day of October, 2006 I watched Roger Waters “Dark side of the moon” concert at Shoreline, Montainview. It had the largest congregation of people Bay Area had ever seen in a decade. Absolute maddening crowd. I was half an hour late when I entered the amphitheatre, thanks to the traffic (I was stuck at Rengstroff for more than an hour). He sang popular numbers from his various albums/CDs like ‘The Wall’, ‘Wish you were here’, ‘The Final Cut’ etc. The second half of the show was an absolute stunner. He played the entire ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ and the crowd was hysteric (You can visualize how a place would reverberate with screams emanating from 100,00 people…No kiddin..) I was really feeling sorry for Pratik who could not make it to the concert as he was stuck at 101 for more than 3 hours. Dejected and exasperated he went back. I was all the more feeling sorry because he went home to get his camera and the security was not allowing any kind of camera or handy-cam inside. All in all this was my best concert and my dream to see Roger Waters came true. I started listening to this psychedelic rock band when I was in IIT and since then I was hooked.
