No it is not. He plays 4 off the new album, which is great, and the other 18 tunes are all Pink Floyd greatest hits.

Obviously nothing from Momentary Lapse of Reason, The Division Bell or The Endless River though.

Those weren't his songs.

Division Bell is alright I spose but with no Roger in the band they just sounded like Phil Collins BSides.

Lets not get carried away High Hopes was a stunning end to their career, until they released Endless River which was nice but not something i would count as an album. The Division Bell has some great moments.


Anyone know what time Roger has been onstage at? Was hoping to catch the Argentina/Nigeria game before the gig

Id say he will be on 8.30-8.45, he does around 2hrs 10 minutes.

Rothko

Is there a support act for this?

No. Roger Waters does not use (or need) a support act.

On most dates of the tour he has been on at 8 prompt.

The tickets say 8pm show time, he's playing a good 2 hours. I'd say you will be out by 10.30, should be enough time for the last bus/train.

poundhound

Based on experience, he'll start approx 8.15pm. There is an intermission as well so I think you're looking at 10.45pm finish.

@ The Nal.
My reply to Rothko was correct. Re-read his question.

Thanks.

shamtastic

GLaDOS

Great thanks. It’ll be tight getting in.

Loved every single minute of that. No pr1cks beside me (for once), incredible sound, visuals, and a wonderful setlist.

Danny Boy was definitely a surprise

Unfortunately I wasn't so lucky. A couple behind would not shut up. 3 pissed up lads to my right..again would not stop. Thankfully they moved. Otherwise a superb gig.

I seem to be sitting in the same row as the thirstiest punters with the weakest bladders.

....And loads of latecomers - they should be made wait until the intermission before taking their seats if they can't be there on time. It was worse than Croke Park.

That aside, it was very enjoyable. I don't go to many gigs. The last two were also RW, so I can't really compare it with other acts.

Catmologen

Last night it was 8.20 on stage. Finished just after 11 with a 20 minute break in the middle.

barney shamrock

We didn't get the big Battersea power station projection. Venue too small?

Ash.J.Williams

Amazing gig

Doodah7

Amazing gig last night. The sound quality was probably the best I've ever heard at a gig. The band and the musicianship on show was second to none and the light show was simply marvellous!! He is well worth every cent of the entrance fee!!!

finbarrk

Yes, it was an enjoyable gig.

Was just gonna ask that......shame, was fantastic!

War ensemble

Fantastic gig. The sound was incredible. He puts his heart & soul into the performance. The standing ovation he received went on for a long time ! Well deserved.

iHungry

I'm going tonight. I can't wait to immerse myself in the audio/visual extravaganza. The sound in the Aviva concert was unreal.

Can someone tell us why my ears weren't ringing afterwards like every other concert I've been too?

poundhound

Waters uses quadrophonic (surround) sound at his concerts. Ive never seen anyone else using it.

Last night was my 6th Waters gig. I dont think it reached the heights of The Wall tour, but was still fantastic. Going again tonight.

Yep, shítty venue. How we don't have a 20k ish arena in the country is beyond me. Very Irish.

Great gig last night. Sound was incredible. No excuse for crap sound these days. Roger throws money behind it.

sanjose1

I have one ticket for tonight, Block H, going for 80 Euro, (cost 96), <Snip>

WindmillWarrior

Amazing show. The noise from the crowd at the end was incredible and Roger was quite humble - how he has mellowed in his old age!
I could have done without Danny Boy but everything else was perfect.
Anyone know what the "surprise ending" is, mentioned at the end of this review?

Excellent gig.
I also had three drinking lads in the seats behind me who talked loud during songs... had to tell them to shut up, which the did but then probably drunkedly forgot about me 10 mins later and then started talking loud again.
But on the positive side... a brilliant gig. I was three or four rows from the very top and the sound was still great up there. Thanks Roger for paying and insisting on great sound at your gigs. Highlights for me...many, but especially Pigs, Eclipse and One of these Days.

Journalists will write anything. Found that to be a very average. Going through the motions with pre-recorded video. Really don't get the hype. Autechre are playing the NCH in a couple of weeks. Maybe they will do an interpretation of Astronomy Domine.

The big screen started at exactly 8.
He came on at 8.20, took a 20 min break in the middle, and was off stage at around 11.
One of the greatest shows I have ever been to.

ArrBee

Perfect, thanks!

WindmillWarrior

I think you're in a very small minority there dasdog!
