As the crowd settled down, the noise rose up. Cycles and phasers and feedback filled the room, creating a sound Waters, Gilmour, Yorke and Greenwood would enjoy. As the sound grew, the band appeared fearless, willing to bend and twist sound and rhythms right off the bat. Tension grew and the crowd needed a release. [...]
