Unless you have seen Floyd in their different line ups, this is not true. I am a big fan of Gilmour, but Waters was badly missed and even though Guy Pratt put up a good show live the two albums without Roger were mediocre at best. If you have never seen Waters live I highly recommend you do as it will probably the last chance to do so and Dave Gilmour does not seem to be planning anything anytime soon.

What a ridiculously outreagous statement.. The Divison Bell is as good as any Floyd album with Waters

Not outrageous at all.
The Division Bell is a good album but its no DSOTM, Wall or Animals.
Compare it to Amused To Death by Roger Waters and tell me which one sounds more like a 'Floyd' album.
Pink Floyd without Waters has been described as 'Floyd Lite' which is kinda apt as Floyd basically became a Gilmour solo project.
Having said all that, the Live 8 show was the best thing they've (all) done since the Wall imo.
There was a chemistry there between all 4 that was missing since the split and couldn't be replicated with solo projects....which we'll sadly never see again.

I beg to differ ... I also note you didn't bother mentioning A Momentary Lapse Of Reason - a truely mediocre album ...




...to me , Gilmour was the clinical musicianship of Floyd but was Waters was the soul. Both are less without each other , but I can quite happily watch either in concert and appreciate the performance for what it is.


I saw Waters live on the In The Flesh Tour in The Point Depot , Dublin 2002 , then on 3 more occasions :

2006 - in the Marquee in Cork
2007 - The Point Depot , Dublin
2008 - O2 London

Each time I was blown away , and very much emotionally drawn into the show.

Ive only seen Gilmour live once, on the On An Island Tour in the historic Royal Albert Hall. Beautiful venue , beautiful music. Our seats were surprisingly close to the stage .. a superb night and easily one of my favourite ever concert experiences.

100% Agree

Has anyone else seen The Lost Documentary? Very interesting look at the staging of the final Wall gig in Earl's Court in August 1980. Apparently it was lost for 25 years after it was made and only re-surfaced in the last few years. Also it's only about 25 minutes long, but it's worth a look if you can find it.

By the way, The Division Bell, while not a bad album by any means, isn't even a Floyd album, really. Half of it was written by Gilmour's wife, FFS (OK, probably a slight exaggeration, but it's still as much a Floyd album as On An Island is). Division Bell isn't a patch on Dark Side Of The Moon/Wish You Were Here/Animals/The Wall, or even The Final Cut. IMO, of course.

Be careful with that axe Walter.

While I agree with you that the Division Bell is a very good rock album it is in my opinion a mediocre Pink Floyd album. I could never put it in the same bracket as Meddle, DSOTM, WYWH, Animals, The Wall and The Final Cut. I also don't think it will ever achieve Classic status.

At the end of the day I don't want this to turn into a Roger Waters v Gilmour/Mason scenario, I just want us all to look forward to what will surely be a fantastic show and something to remember for a long time.

RayCon. I was at the RAH on the last night of the On an Island tour and it was a fantastic night. Just thinking back to Gilmour playing the final notes of Comfortably Numb wouldn't it be something if he got on stage with Waters to perform even just this song as he wrote it and nobody else plays it quite like him. Now I am off to watch Remember that Night DVD.

Yeah , totally agree - would love to see that ... although if he was to take up his position on top of the Wall during the solo , they are going to have to use re-enforced concrete in that section :P:D

Here's an email I got from my dad just now

"I can get premium package tickets 9th row $510.00 each.

Roger Waters - The Wall - Premium Package includes:
- One premium, reserved ticket located within the first 15 rows of the stage or side stage
- Specially Designed Concert Shirt
- Limited Edition Tour Poster (numbered, exclusive to ticket package)
- Official Tour Program
- Commemorative Laminate
- Collectible Pin Set
- Exclusive Roger Waters - The Wall - Tour Gift "

:eek:

May or may not be genuine, but you can be guaranteed it won't be cheap.

kenon

More info...

The band includes Snowy White and Dave Kilminster, and an all-male backing vocal. Promised is state of the art staging, with the focus being a 240 foot wide by 35 foot high wall, which is constructed (and demolished) during the concert, and new, crystal clear projections and redesigned inflatables and puppets

Also, Canadian ticket info out today. $55, $75, $99 and $200. No doubt it will be more expensive here than a simple currency conversion to euros.

Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls. I and my friends will travel to the last show in London and hopefully there will be some surprise appearances (Nick Mason at the very least) and then back home for the Dublin show. I'm already comfortably numb.

Anybody get a link to the presale tickets today?
The standing tickets are €77! €17 more than general sale

Where did you get that from Beekay ????

Aiken's site clearly shows that the GA standing tickets are €69.70 so I'm sure that's €77 inc fees ?
There are seated tickets for €59.80 which I'm sure are right up the back.....would find it hard to believe that any presale tickets would be more expensive that general sale - unless there's going to be a barrier/seperation in the crowd and the presale portion is for a front section.....

kenon

This is what I got in the pre-sale thing...

Our Price: €96.75 EUR
Includes the following charges:
Base Price: €86.25 EUR
RogerWaters.com Service Charge: €7.00 EUR
Transaction Fee: €3.50 EUR
Blocks A-B, G-F. Rows: 21-32

Standing...

Our Price: €77.95 EUR
Includes the following charges:
Base Price: €69.70 EUR
RogerWaters.com Service Charge: €5.50 EUR

so Roger Waters is just replacing Tickmaster fees with his own for the pre-sale.........either way it's no better off for the punter.......ridiculous fees......really want to go to this but I'm not sure I want to pay an artist extra money on top of the ticket price to actually get the ticket - their fee is already included in the price - just like I don't want to pay Ticketmaster the extra......

sorry,meant to say €7 more not €17:o

there is still an O2 presale, so think i might just wait til then...need to save every cent

RayCon

Yeah I got the email too .... Ticketbestard are usually €6.75 per ticket , which would be €69.70+ 6.75 = €76.75 ...

rogerwaters.com are charging :

Our Price: €77.95 EUR
Includes the following charges:
Base Price: €69.70 EUR
RogerWaters.com Service Charge: €5.50 EUR
Transaction Fee: €2.75 EUR

so €1.20 more from the artist himself AND tickets are only available for box-office collection , so they're not even incurring the cost of postage ...

.. bad form ... might take my chances with the O2 pre-sale instead ... it's not really the €1.20 extra but more the fact Ive to collect the tickets on the night ... I dont like the restriction of having to be there on time etc etc ...

c - 13

Anyone have any idea what time the presale is supposed to be starting. The email says 11am IST, the website says 12 IST. If that IST timezome is correct then surely they should have gone on sale already anyone enlighten me ?

Havnt a clue, logged on to ask the exact same question...very confusing, guess we'll have to wait for the 02 pre sale now instead...

c - 13

Theyre on now, that must have been 12 GMT not IST

EDIT: Just got my tix, very happy now

Dozey Dora

Lol, ya bet me to it, was just coming on again to say the other half got 2 tickets about half an hour or so ago...HAPPY DAYS!!

RayCon

Tickets got via O2 presale ... Standing worked out at €76.05 per ticket ... almost €2 cheaper per ticket than buying directly from rogerwaters.com ... bad form by his official website.

rednik

I went for the seats myself. If this is like the original concerts building a wall between the band and the audience, I reckon you would want to be well back from the stage to get the effect and also to see the band as they appear in the wall itself. I know they are talking about a new set up which maybe behind the band but this goes against his concept for the wall. Just have to wait for the US leg to start and get some sort of idea what we are in for.

Second night added in the O2 on the 24th May. Tkts on sale Thurs 17th June.

id loved to have been at the dark side of the moon tour

InTheTrees

I saw them at wembley for the animals tour. They played the whole of animals (which i never liked much), wish you were here, and then half of dark side as an encore.

Saw them again at Oakland Collesium in the 90's

I love Animals and on the last 2 tours I saw Roger on he performed Dogs on the in the flesh tour and Sheep on the DSOTM tour and they were played to perfection.

Cant wait to see this, from the sounds of it the show will be a spectacle. Saw Aussie Pink Floyd do The Wall and it was amazing, sounded indentical to the actual recording.

No word on how sales are going? I was half thinking he'd add in another date, but it doesnt look like tickets are selling too fast. I guess that's what you get when you put them on sale a year in advance :rolleyes:

How f**king cool!

I can't help but think that this will be a London gig.

rednik

To be fair Gilmour does live in London. What I would like to see is him doing one of the gigs on the US leg and getting a taste for more. There are almost 100 dates so the chances are he might do more than the one. Great to see the photos of the get together. Neither are getting any younger and with Rick's passing maybe they are mellowing.

rednik

Well after all the talking the tour starts in Ontario tonight. I can't wait for this and hopefully this will be a great tour. Roger is on the cover of the next issue of the Rolling Stone which won't be here for a couple of weeks but should be a good read.

rednik

Comfortably numb from last night's gig.
