If I had the money and he was playing close to me I would go, and who knows I might even be 'Amused to death"
Going to see Roger Waters in concert
I just picked up tickets to see Roger Waters, who's coming to Atlanta in May. He's doing the Dark Side Of The Moon tour. If it's as good as a German recording I've heard, I'll be in for a special evening. I can't wait for this show!
Now if we could only get Roger, Nick, David and Richard back on stage for a world tour as Pink Floyd... that would be FANTASTIC!

He's got a new release "officially" the end of March. More info here . Go see him. I saw the Radio KAOS tour and it was one of the top 5 concerts I EVER saw. He always has an outstanding lineup with him. |
Two entities that love and want to perform the same music. DSOTM is essentially a cover tune for these two entities. Sad that they can't join forces and perform it as an original instead of a cover. The politics and personalities of rock bands; sometimes time doesn't heal. Funny how Roger didn't write that into the lyrics. |
Thomasedison - I saw Dave Mathews at Philips and it was fine. I think Roger is a stickler for sound quality, so it really doesn't matter where he plays - it's going to sound good. Would I prefer he play at the Fox? Yes! As for playing DSOTM without the other PF members... it's not an issue for me. I've heard a live recording of Roger's version and I think it sounds fantastic. To me PF's music invites improvisation, so if Roger's versions stray from the original it doesn't take away from the essence of those songs. PF was highly experimental and no two shows were exactly alike, so I welcome his interpretation of DSOTM. Is it worth paying $100 to see him? It depends on how much you like PE and Roger's solo work. For me it was a no brainer. I seldom go to concerts any more, so splurging on a group or artist like Roger is worth it to me. |
