Roger Waters 'The Wall' - Aviva Stadium Dublin September 2013!

Having seen this show twice I can say there's nothing spectacular about the lighting.
The HD projections, inflatables, pyrotechnics and quadraphonic sound is an entirely different matter

Its probably as good as if not better than AC/DC live. Which is a hard act to follow. If you are new to Pink Floyd , I would advice watching The Wall movie so you can better relate to the concert. I was near tears but im a life long Floyd fan .

I can't wait for this gig.

It's very easy to comment from the side without knowing everything that's gone on, but why can't himself and Gilmour make up. It will never be the same as it was, but just imagine a tour of Dark Side of the Moon with himself, Dave and Nick.

Such a shame they can't get past their differences.

The show is stunning .... but not something to go to for "the craic" :rolleyes:

Went to buy tickets for this last night but Ticketmaster saying none available- is it sold out already ?

And what is the story with the pitch- there seems to be a premium section in front of the stage on the pitch itself - any ideas if these are standing or seated ? And were they on sale to the general public or only for fan club members or something ? I saw the the Wall in the Point last winter, great gig and would love to see the same show out doors but I ain't willing to sit down, or even stand with a seat behind me !

They were originally standing but were changed to seating, this was after they had gone on sale.

Hopefully can still get premium seats. I wish theyd do something like in England where you can choose your exact seats, and not just have it as pot luck.

RATM

Just checked ticketmaster there again and it seems like standing is sold out. It is throwing up seats in the corner of the pitch so still possible to get tickets. I'll keep an eye on toutless.com to see if I can find a standing ticket.

Its going to be hard to see past the golden circle section when they are all standing on their seat.

Whats that supposed to mean??

If you are trying to imply there is something sinister going on you couldnt be more wrong. I bought the above tickets thinking they were standing. When I realised they werent I bought two more standing tickets for the gold section. So I now have two stand seated tickets for sale, which I might add have never tried to or even hinted to flog on this site.

A poster here, called Toast is involved in the excellent site Toutless (possibly involved in the setting up of if also).
That's what Diarist was getting at.
Don't be so touchy buddy

thinking of going to this.

would i be better off waiting til nearer the time to maybe pick up 2 better tickets that people may be off loading because the seats on ticketmaster dont seem to be good at the moment.

What would be the best view for this concert. Would the south stand be good ??

Wait for the weather forecast I'd say.

Rain would add to the experience I think- couldn't have sunshine with these lyrics:

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother do you think they'll like this song?
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Mother should I build the wall?
Mother should I run for president?
Mother should I trust the government?
Mother will they put me in the firing line?
Mother am I really dying?

I might have a spare ticket beside me at the front seated. I was thinking of bringing my 9 year old boy. What are your thoughts on this?

He's a lucky 9yr old. ....

delbertgrady

The fact that you're asking at all must mean you were half-considering it anyway. It would depend how much you thought he'd get out of it. Certainly, if he's familiar with (and likes) the songs from you playing the album around the house, I would definitely bring him. It's not like a conventional rock concert: it's pure spectacle, and he'll never forget it.

Bring him to The Lion King instead.

Bring him. I was 10 when I went to my first concert and it was bon Jovi. At least you're bringing your son to something cool.

Yeah I was thinking that also.

He has been to festivals for 3 years in a row now. But this might be a different animal. In the flesh at the start of the gig is intense . very loud and almost overloads you with emotion . (well it did for me in the o2).

But on the other hand. How cool would it be to see the wall live as a kid.

I dunno. will have to think about it. The last thing I want is having to sit outside with a kid that wants to go home.

give him money for a taxi home?!

or kinda more seriously, if you live closeby or have friends or family nearby someone could come and pick him up if its not his thing.

CiaranK

I was 13 at my first gig and it was Roger Waters. Started me off in the right direction anyways. I don't know if you seen any of the Wall show yet yourself. I was there in the o2 last year and is something he won't forget. It is a spectacle.

agreed to follow up on my last post ya gotta give the kid a chance to see if they'd like it.

although if he bails after 5 mins it would suck if a mate wanted to head too. but family first i think and it'd be an awesome experience

Roger Waters is getting on in years and won't be touring forever. He'll never forget it and always remember seeing one of the kings of rock play before he gives up touring. He probably won't realise it until years later which will make him appreciate you bringing him even more

PTH2009

im thinking of buying tickets too this.

i knw the view from the south stand would be good but would it be worth the money ??

Rigor Mortis

I'm gonna come across as a complete prude here but feck it. Just have a watch of the graphics on line and make sure you are happy with your 9 year old seeing them. If i remember correctly their is a pretty grotesque and explicit section towards the end of the second half. Doesnt last long but you might or might not be comfortable.

Let the flaming commence.
