The sad thing is Pink Floyd filmed the concerts to be used in the movie. I wish they release it, I mean the limited number of shows and the amount of fans who never saw that tour would warrant a nice concert film.

Agreed. Seeing a living legend perform one of the most influential albums in its entirety with the capabilities of 2010 technology strikes me as a complete waste of time also...

Re: Roger Waters to perform The Wall on tour
I understand your point about how Waters took over for the Wall and Final Cut. However, Momentary Lapse and Division Bell are like Gilmour solo albums to me. They are both interesting and I appreciate them, but there is no way I would consider them "Pink Floyd" albums by any means. What made Pink Floyd great, IMHO, is Waters, Gilmour, Wright and Mason as a unit. Thematically, the Wall and Final Cut are perfect successors to Wish You Were Here and Animals. Strong symbolism, in depth lyrics, and the ability to create a "mood." They are literally works of art. I definitely admit seeing the Wall with just Waters isn't going to have half the magic of the Live 8 reunion, but if it means a chance to see the production as the creator envisioned it, how can you go wrong?

I thought there was a wall dvd set out there? Also isn't there some unreleased material out there put out by Harvested probably?

Re: Roger Waters to perform The Wall on tour
OK, maybe a stupid question but, is he just going to do the album as a concert or is he going to do the stage show and "Build the Wall" as it was done back in the day?

Re: Roger Waters to perform The Wall on tour
I'll be buying tickets through the AmEx presale in about an hour for the 11/21 Dallas show.

Re: Roger Waters to perform The Wall on tour
Judging only by the Water's In the Flesh live video vs. Gilmore's Pink Floyd live videos, Waters puts on the better show, so I am really excited about this ...

Re: Roger Waters to perform The Wall on tour
It seems there is an AMEX presale and no Citi presale. Dang it. I had to reactivate an old Amex card that won't arrive until tomorrow.
Great discussions here, I must say. This is the first time I have ever been able to afford to see one of the Floyd legends in the flesh, and Waters has always been my preference. |
Re: Roger Waters to perform The Wall on tour
FWIW, I'm not impressed with the seats I got from the AmEx presale. I may check out the general public sale in a few days and then decide if I want to buy a 2nd set and then StubHub the first.

Re: Roger Waters to perform The Wall on tour
Got nice seats for the NYC MSG show. Can't wait!!

Re: Roger Waters to perform The Wall on tour
Got my tickets for the Dec 11th show in Tacoma! Can't wait! I saw Roger Waters in Dublin 5 or 6 years ago and even in a very small venue it's a great time!

The most memorable bits were Gilmour's Comfortably Numb solo and vocal parts from atop the wall and the hotel room that opened up from the Wall during Nobody Home. I still remember that nearly the entire second album was played by the band from behind the stage with various parts played by a "surrogate band" in various configurations. . As much as this concert stands out as a great experience, this was a period when I was seeing the best concerts of my life. That summer I also saw the Who at the Sports Arena from the 3rd row and I was directly in front of Pete Townshend. That's probably my greatest concert experience ever. PS I think I paid either $12.50 or $13.00 for both these shows |

Re: Roger Waters to perform The Wall on tour
Being close to the stage doesn't matter so much on this show, I would think, since it plans to be such a spectacle. In fact, you might even miss out!
Still, all these presale seats winding up in the back of sections reeks weird to me. I'm waiting for the general public sale. |

Re: Roger Waters to perform The Wall on tour
I was able to get amazing FRONT ROW of the club level in Columbus Ohio seats during the Amex presale last night... I'm just thrilled! they are distant - about the "7 o'clock" area... but with a spectacle of this size, I think being a bit far off is a good thing... and front row of the club level where no one can get in front of you and stand is priceless!

Ugh, was not one of the qualified preorder tickets for the Las Vegas show. I have to wait when it goes on sale to the public...
