DirtyDeeds Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) I'm watching my "Roger Waters: In the Flesh-Live" DVD right now and even without a huge production it's pretty damn amazing. Definitely close enough to the real thing for me to feel comfortable crossing off Pink Floyd in the list of bands to see before they (or I) die.

Zint Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 I'm watching my "Roger Waters: In the Flesh-Live" DVD right now and even without a huge production it's pretty damn amazing. Definitely close enough to the real thing for me to feel comfortable crossing off Pink Floyd in the list of bands to see before they (or I) die.You know...I saw Rogerless Floyd a few times (including Knebworth '90)...and to me,Roger's solo gigs felt more like Floyd.

ITW 2012 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) I've decided that I can't miss this. We're going to fork out the cash and go for the best seats. I just hope we're able to get tickets. Must say that I am a little pissed off that they are selling tickets this far in advance. The Vancouver show isn't even till December. Oh well, it's the fucking Wall we're talking about.

Zint Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 I watched the Roger Waters interview on Jimmy Fallon.Fallon blew a rare opportunity...but Roger did admit to nicking concepts that were happening on the U.S. West Coast in the 60's and "getting lucky" with it.Now where's that thread where someone here refused to accept that notion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolio GNR Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 As far as the "Roger IS Pink Floyd" discussion. I believe that for PF to be PF Roger needed Dave, Rick, and Nick, and Dave, Rick, and Nick needed Roger. You can tell in Roger's solo albums that he really lacks in the music department and you can tell in the newest PF albums that the lyrics and concepts are lacking. I got tickets by the way. I will be in Section 15, Row F, Seats 14-15. Too bad is like 7 months away. I am truly looking forward to it, it should be one to remember.

highvoltage Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I really hope this makes it over to Australia. I have been listening to so much Floyd lately and it's resonating more with me than it ever has. I want to see it so badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 He's caused a bit of a controversy because he (inadvertently) pasted ads over a memorial shrine for Elliot Smith:http://pitchfork.com/news/38700-rogers-waters-pr-campaign-mars-elliott-smith-memorial-wall/I think it's pretty obvious that it wasn't intentional so I don't see what the big deal is.

John Bonham Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 There is a new video interview up on the AOL website with Roger Waters. It has him discussing the new Wall show and some of the technology behind the new stage show. In the original showing of The Wall, there were three projectors projecting the same image onto the Wall across the arena. This time there will be one solid image projected the whole way across.http://video.aol.com/video-detail/roger-waters-the-wall-tour-interview/4284072123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
