Review - Cleveland, Ohio - Gund Arena

I have long anticipated the return of the Wizard, Roger Waters to the stage.  It
will be extremely difficult for me to attend any other concert events this summer
which will now seem amateur by comparison.  The show lasted three hours long by
clock time, but on brain time it flashed by.  Forget about the outstanding sound
and amazing imagery for a moment, but instead I remember feeling as if the arena
was a large flying saucer in which I was surfacing the planet only to depart for
journey into space and time.  What I can tell you more clearly is that during the
intermission which occurred as the lights dimmed on I only saw a smokey haze
preventing my view to the other side of the craft.  Probably just the exhaust I
figured.  At this point very few moved from their seats so I went into the tunnels
to see what was going on.  There were a few people scattering about while
obtaining alcohol and enjoying each moment.  Gorgeous women were walking the halls
like goddesses and you could hear the music playing in your brain.  Once arrived
back to my seat I was once again outdone by the previous experience.  The crowd
snapped farther into the hypnotic trance towards the end and tore into a frenzy.
I've never heard a louder collection of aliens in my life.  

I have long been peacefully haunted by the songs.  I have once again been absorbed
by my guitar and their songs have inspired me in ways too in depth to explain here
and continue to push me into new dimensions of my soul.
