Wealth can be fleeting, as the man ended up poor again in the end. The final song of the second set warrants special mention. Comfortably Numb has been a signature tune of the band for the past decade. It is one of those special songs that the band always presents in classic fashion, both musically and visually. This time it began with textures of light filling the band shell as the circular screen complimented these with distinct circular designs.
Lasers wove patterns in the air above the crowd and fog added a surreal effect to the whole scene.
After the classic question and response lyrical sequence was completed and Dave began his legendary guitar solo, the mixing tent in the middle of the stadium began to slowly open up. Rising upward, out of the tent, was a gigantic rotating mirrored sphere. Reaching a height high above the crowd, the sphere was bombarded with spotlights from all corners of the stadium, transforming the entire stadium into a swirling sea of lights. At the same time that this was happening, overhead, in the airways above the stadium, the Pink Floyd airship appeared. Returning our gaze to earth, the giant mirrored sphere opened up and a multicolored rotating fog light flashed a signal from the center of what now looked like some sort of giant metallic flower.
