Yell & I got to see Waters perform The Wall in 2011
Nerd-alert: In case you don't know. It is not Pink Floyd who performs the opening track "In The Flesh". As a reference to the lyrics ("Is this what you expected to see", "surrogate band" (and more)) the backing musicians (called the Surrogate Band) are performing it while wearing the masks you see on the front cover.

I also wanted to buy tickets to the Dortmund show in 1981, since buses were organized in Norway. My mom wouldn't let me, since I was 15.
Mean mother, that lady ...

I'm going to see Waters on Tuesday, btw :-)
