(Finished July 14th, 2019) The Ideal Pink Floyd Setlist, Night 1

Hello,

A great light show and intriguing videos, check. A great sound system, check. Great musicianship, check. A great tribute band, check. Finally great songs, check.

My son and I went and saw The Australian Pink Floyd Show 30th Anniversary last night. Overall I would say it's pretty good. The first song they played was the instrumental "Obscured By Clouds". They played an awful lot of music last night and only about 1/3rd of that time was there singing. All these instrumentals to a point is fine as some of their instrumental songs are some of the most iconic soundscapes to ever be recorded. But I prefer something to sing along with. The highlights of the show were "Young Lust", "Us and Them", "Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2", "Time", "Wish You Were Here", "Run Like Hell" and the encore song "Comfortably Numb".

I have broke this into 4 different parts, broken into two blogs. Night 1 is the Roger Waters war songs/ Syd Barrett songs. Night 2 is their best songs not in the other 3 parts. Part 3 is the best songs from "Dark Side of the Moon" and Part 4 is the best songs "The Wall".

Part 1 The War Songs/ Syd Barrett songs:

For those wondering where "Nobody Home" is, it's coming later. But it would fit here perfectly.

"When The Tigers Broke Free":

"The Gunner's Dream":

"Southampton Dock/ The Final Cut":

"Postwar Dream":

"Wish You Were Here":

"Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 1 to 5":

Part 2:

"Bike":



"One of These Days":



Just which one is Pink? "Have A Cigar":



"Welcome To The Machine":



"What Do You Want From Me":



"Keep Talking":



"High Hopes":



There has to be one long mostly instrumental song in the set somewhere. "Meddle":



After that long song this first night will close out with the lesser known, but still great "Not Now John":
