Yes, that's right, Roger Waters is on tour (http://orders.tickettriangle.com/ResultsGeneral.aspx?stype=2&kwds=Roger%20Waters)! No doubt, tickets will be over $100, and the hype immense...and generally I avoid such things...but...but....this is ROGER WATERS! And we're talking about the DARK SIDE OF THE MOON!

Ok, come one, come all...bitch about the feud between Waters and Gilmore...because I know some people will refuse to go to the concert on that principle, and some who will go for exactly the same reason.

Will you go if there is a stop close to you? Why, why not?

Edit: the first link was to last year's tour...this one is updated. And tickets are over $200 for the Edmonton concert if you don't want to sit in the nosebleeds! I think I take it back about going, and choose the last poll option instead:(

So long as he brings the flying pig, and he covers "Angie" like i'd heard he was gonna.

I was so damn high, that I really don't remember much except that it was AWESOME, and I got to make out with a hot skater boy I'd been too chicken to admit to liking. Yeah, I said skater boy. Suck it.
*cue Avril Lavigne*
Whoa ... double booking, Waters & Lavigne ...
*shudders*

I got scalped tickets at a ridiculous price when Pink Floyd came through town oh so long ago...I was so damn high, that I really don't remember much except that it was AWESOME, and I got to make out with a hot skater boy I'd been too chicken to admit to liking. Yeah, I said skater boy. Suck it.

I doubt I'd get that blasted for this concert...but I'm considering it.

I already saw him at the Tweeter center in lovely Camden, NJ. Great first set and beginning of the second set. Didn't see most of the second set though. Some of my friends, high on shrooms and weed, were talking about leaving early and going to a titty bar. One of them took the idle chat seriously and left to go back to the truck. When we finally figured out what had happened to him we decided not to leave his stoned ass alone in the parking lot in Camden at night. Yeah, we ended up leaving early.

Yeah, the first set is supposed to be a variety of songs...and the flying pigs...OH GOD...when they came out at the Pink Floyd concert, all I saw at first were pig-shaped shadows on the crowd, and it freaked me the hell out...when I finally saw the pigs themselves? I think my brain exploded.

Well, it'd be worth it for The Gunner's Dream, Southhampton Dock, What God Wants, and The Final Cut.
And i expect they'll also use dogs for imagery.

I'd go see him if I was on the right continent. :(

Hmm, hold on - October?! Los Angeles?!
Anyone know how I can get from San Diego to LA cheaply? *plots*

*sticks tongue out at Fass who clearly is too frou frou for Roger Waters*

Yeah, we ended up leaving early.

Were you upset? And did you indeed go to a titty bar?

Umm am i missing something or did you just post about an upcomming event that already happened in Sept and Oct of 2006? In other news, man will be landing on the moon for the first time!

Oh, crap. :(

Oops! I'll find another link...he's at it again apparently...he's booked to be in Edmonton in June. Sorry!

Before my time.

Looks like the closest tour date to me is in Philly. I'm not taking a trip out to Philly.

Hold it. You like Pink Floyd, but you hate Rush? What the hell is up with that?

I need answers.

I never said it was based in logic.

And I DETEST, LOATHE and ABHOR Rush.

Hate just isn't descriptive enough.

ARGGGHHHHH! *plucks own eyes from head and tosses them underfoot*

I went and saw him earlier this month in Brisbane- it was freaking brilliant. He has actually been touring since last year.

He's back on tour. Again.

Is it because of that liner note proclaiming the genius of Ayn Rand? :D

He was touring here, but it was between him or Clapton. I chose the latter.

Clapton sold out in a day...and his damn concert isn't until March :(

Like I'd get close enough to have seen that. *shudders*

But if possible, I hate them even more now.

Clapton sold out in a day...and his damn concert isn't until March :(

Yeah, I hate that. And i'll bet half of those tickets went to scalpers and will be sold for double the normal price. I was lucky enough to get my ticket on presale. (my reward for spending too much of my money on concerts, heh...but it was worth it :P)

Clapton sold out in a day...and his damn concert isn't until March :(

If I could ever stand a chance of getting tickets to a Clapton concert, I'd drag my dad along. Besides the fact that he'd pay for the tickets and beer, he's a dedicated Clapton fan.

*sticks tongue out at Fass who clearly is too frou frou for Roger Waters*

Pfff. After admitting he liked the Scissor Sisters we can discount his opinion on music out of hand.

EDIT: Oh, and nose bleed doesn't bother me since Pink Floyd is more about spectacle rather than actually having to see Waters with my own eyes. So I'm totally going no matter how shitty my seats are.

Curse you lot and your backwards dates! I just spent a minute trying to work out what the hell the 13th month was. June in CA? No Roger Waters for me. :(

I think they were $500 for the goodish seats when he was here on the 27th and 29th of January.
Do i regrt not going to either concert?
Very much so.:(

Hold it. You like Pink Floyd, but you hate Rush? What the hell is up with that?

I think it's fairly common to like Pink Floyd and hate Rush. Rush are goons.

Warning: Roger has been known to play songs from his solo career on these tours...

He did play a few, including one pretty preaching new one that includes the line "Oh George! Oh George! That Texas education must have fucked you up when you were very small!" I have read some reviews by Americans who went that there was some booing and some didn't like it in general because it was anti-war and anti-bush, that song and his other preachy bits all got enthusiastic applause.

If it was close and the tickets were free and I didn't have anything better to do then I would probably go.

Meh. There are overrated '70s icons more worth seeing.

Any respect I once had for you, and it was considerable, has just evaporated. You are dead to me.

You left an option off of the poll.
"I'm a stagehand. I'll get paid to be there, and get a free teeshirt to boot."
:cool:

WTF? If you like Floyd but hate Rush, you like Floyd for the wrong reasons. You are dissowned as a fan!

That might salvage the situation, yes. :D

That might salvage the situation, yes. :DGood. <whew>

I have seen Roger Waters in the past and he is amazing in concert.
If they announce any dates near me I will go to see him again.

Now wouldn't this just be a great idea for an USANSG Meet?

I'll bring the weed, meet me in Philly!

Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure I'm doin' shrums this time around, so I might not care that other NSers are there...
