Going to see Roger Waters in concert


I just picked up tickets to see Roger Waters, who's coming to Atlanta in May. He's doing the Dark Side Of The Moon tour. If it's as good as a German recording I've heard, I'll be in for a special evening. I can't wait for this show!

Now if we could only get Roger, Nick, David and Richard back on stage for a world tour as Pink Floyd... that would be FANTASTIC!

Two entities that love and want to perform the same music. DSOTM is essentially a cover tune for these two entities. Sad that they can't join forces and perform it as an original instead of a cover. The politics and personalities of rock bands; sometimes time doesn't heal. Funny how Roger didn't write that into the lyrics.
Saw this show in Seattle a few months ago and highly recommend it. While it's not the Pink Floyd concert I saw in the '70s it is still great. You are right about them missing David Gilmour, it takes 3 guitarists in the current lineup to replace him.
Thomasedison - I saw Dave Mathews at Philips and it was fine. I think Roger is a stickler for sound quality, so it really doesn't matter where he plays - it's going to sound good. Would I prefer he play at the Fox? Yes!

As for playing DSOTM without the other PF members... it's not an issue for me. I've heard a live recording of Roger's version and I think it sounds fantastic. To me PF's music invites improvisation, so if Roger's versions stray from the original it doesn't take away from the essence of those songs. PF was highly experimental and no two shows were exactly alike, so I welcome his interpretation of DSOTM.

Is it worth paying $100 to see him? It depends on how much you like PE and Roger's solo work. For me it was a no brainer. I seldom go to concerts any more, so splurging on a group or artist like Roger is worth it to me.
thanks for the heads up dawgbyt....i'm going to see the show when it comes to west palm beach florida...
I have seen roger waters three times; his 6 city tour with clapton, radio kaos tour, and his previous in the flesh tour.
I wish he would have toured on his amused to death release. as for dsotm tour --come on. to me this is just another excuse for an old rocker to go for the money grab. get your filthy hands off of my....
