May 19th release date of Roger's album.

We are so lucky of late. Had nothing from either David/Roger/Pink Floyd for years, then last year 2 releases, and now this to look forward to.

Anybody have the DSOTM Immersion box set? I ordered it yesterday but have read elsewhere online that the blu ray disc has been faulty in a high proportion of the sets. Has anyone here experienced this?
(I would also love to hear any thoughts/reviews in general aside from the BD issue)

I got most of it online, the live stuff and early takes and so on. There's nothing particularly mind bending in it, interesting to see how they developed the material on the road and how a lot of it came from earlier works, like outtakes from Zabriske Point and so on. And they were right to replace "The travel sequence" with "On the Run" as OTR is way better!

It's an interesting point, the whole "developing material on the road". The success of DSOTM sort of killed their ability to do that, as they were forced to play "the hits" and the audiences were only there to hear what they knew rather than new stuff.

On the flipside, they did develop some new material, post-DSOTM, with much of Animals and also Shine On You Crazy Diamond coming from the 1974 tour. I just feel the freedom of their performing from 1969 - 1972 was far greater than 1973 / 1974 onwards.

Thought it was a decent album. Anything that gets Gilmour off his farm and out on tour is worth a listen as far as I'm concerned!

Waters new song is pretty decent. Looking forward to that album too.

I was at one of the Rattle That Lock tour Gigs ( in Wroclaw, Poland), and found it throughly enjoyable.

^^ I was at the last Albert hall gig - possibly the best gig I ever saw (in 40 years of going to gigs)

Another track from Roger's new album.

Nice, but maybe a strange choice for a sampler.

Wouldn't make me rush out to buy the album if I wasn't a confirmed fan (which I am, and I will).

rednik

Bought Roger's album yesterday and I have listened to it several times, have to say it is excellent.

Movies@ are usually pretty good at showing these kinds of things. Saying that, they didn't show the Oasis film when it was out and IMC in Santry did.

To be honest I just did a search through the cinemas that are close enough to me.
VUE Liffey Valley have it listed with plenty of seats, and probably the closest to you, but I grabbed a couple of seats in Movies@Dundrum instead.
Odeon Cinemas in Naas and Newbridge don't have it listed (yet) so I would and eye on their web sites under the "event cinema" tab.

Not sure if I wanna pay 15 quid to see it once. I'm sure the DVD will be out, if not already.

Unrelated, been listening to Roger's album since Friday - it's really good, sounds fantastic, great lyrics and even the vocals are good. One criticism is that it's pretty flat in the sense that he sticks to one sound and style for the whole album, but at the same time the consistency is good, unlike Gilmour's last one which was all over the place.

K.Flyer

I don't mind, at the moment I don't get much opportunity to sit down and watch through a full concert with the system turned up without some sort of disruption.
Will still buy the DVD though.

Aye, I never thought of that. The volume will be seriously high like it is in cinemas.

Saw Roger Waters in Vegas last night. Initially was a little unsure about whether he was actually delivering based on great on-stage support with the back-up lead vocal appearing to be helping quite a lot. Was also a bit frustrated by the lady in front of me, clearly high as a kite, swinging her arms round continuously (nearly knocking my glasses off at one stage)

He took a 20 minute break after an hour which culminated with the Wall. Was definitely won over by then, but the 2nd half was incredible. He took a lot of pleasure in turning Trump into a pig which went down well with the vast majority of the audience - there were a number who were less than impressed with that though!

By the end I was rating the show as one of the best I have ever seen. Certainly top 10 (and that's over nearly 40 years). Now want to see when he's coming to Ireland next (or possibly the UK) as I won't want to miss the next tour

Beasty did you see The Wall live and if you did where would you rate last night's show compared to it. From all the shows I have seen nothing comes close to The Wall.

No its the first time I've seen Waters live so I can't compare

Everyone I see over here who went on Friday is raving about it. One of the points I've seen mentioned was he was constrained over what he played with the Wall. He had no limitations on Friday though (and there was certainly a sprinkling of new stuff but mainly in the first half)

He owns all the rights to The Wall but after touring that for several hundred shows I guess he wants to make sure the show is fresh. The new album is great and mixed with songs from Animals and the other Floyd/Solo albums sounds good.

I saw him for the Wall tour here in Dublin. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Then I saw David Gilmour in the Royal Albert Hall last September and that just blew me away ❤

That sounds great, can't wait to check him out when the tour comes to this side of the world.

I also saw The Wall the last 2 times it was performed here a) Indoors at The Point & b) Outdoors in Landsdowne Road. Then I was lucky to see David perform in Wroclaw last June.

ALL I can say is that I was so lucky to see 2 Masters Perform and it felt like 3 trips of a Lifetime.

Now, if ONLY the 2 of them would get back together......................sigh!

I also seen The Wall at The Point but not at Lansdowne. Heard so many rave reviews about Lansdowne so just wondered how it compared generally to The Point gig?

I thought the show in the Aviva was much better than the Point. We were seated in the front row and the sound was excellent. The changes made to take it into stadiums worked perfectly.

I am in London and just attended the exhibition in the Victoria & Albert museum. It is a must for anyone who can get to it. I will put up a couple of photos when I get home.

That makes sense, I thought the Point gig was pretty good sonically but wasn't keen on the whole "building the wall up" concept, as by the time it was nearly done all you could see was the wall and not a lot else. I know that's the point but just suspect it would work a lot better in a bigger space.

Personally, I wouldn't compare. Both were excellent Gigs.

Just a taster of the exhibition in the V&A museum. It took a good 90 minutes to see everything but it was well worth the time.

You will enjoy it as any Floyd fan would. Just be prepared for a busy day. From the very start other people will be taking their time reading every little poster or snippet on each segment, but it truly is worthwhile.

I found it extremely difficult to see / read anything, to the point where I just gave up. There were so many people in the room, mostly older. And many of them must have never been to an exhibition before, or just didn't care, as for the most part they'd just stand on front of you when you were reading or watching something. One old guy even asked my wife to move out of *his* way, even though she was standing there minding her own business before he came along.

The further you get into the exhibition though, the more spread out the people got, so you could see more stuff. Lots of old equipment (though Syd's guitar is a replica) and other mock ups, and a good 360 degree video experience at the end (which could have been longer - was only three videos - Arnold Layne, High Hopes, and Comfortably Numb from Live 8).

The gift shop was good too - I got loads of stuff. T shirts, pencils, fridge magnets, cuff links...

A few bits of Roger Waters North American tour on YouTube. Phone camera footage alas but still looks amazing.
Here's hoping something in Europe in 2018.

Yeah - those phone cameras were starting to really p!ss me off:pac:

Can't really complain as back in the 80s I used to smuggle my camera into loads of gigs (but I was one of very few - now it's almost the majority trying to grab a piece of the action)

I saw the V&A thing a few weeks back. It really is stunning, although I didn't have much time. They do charge £24 for entry but I took the option of annual membership and can visit exhibitions they charge for whenever I like with no further charge over the next year

A taster of David Live at Pompeii has been released.

Neglected to post this sooner, but thanks to those who reported that DG's show from Pompeii would be shown in selected cinemas for one night.

Having read that, I quickly got a couple of tix for here in Perth in September. maybe I'll be seeing it 8 hours sooner than you!

Having seen some of the audience youtube clips from the gigs, we're in for a treat.

Can't wait

I just ordered the "live at Pompeii" deluxe version from Amazon for £50 with free delivery.
