Dave and Roger may be able to be civil to one another in person, however, they still do not like one another at all. There is a reason why the other 3 members continued on without Roger....he is a insufferable jack ass. Talented songwriter and lyricist, but a jack ass none the less.

Plus, beyond playing some of the songs at his solo gigs, from what I read, Dave feels he does not need to go there again. That era is over and he has moved on.

ETA:while not up to the PF standards of the 70s, the two studio albums post Waters are not all that bad. Not as goid, but still enjoyable.

OP save a ton of money and go see Australian pink fold if they are anywhere near you. I've seen them twice and both times the show has been awesome. Going again in july this year. Great stage show, sound is just like pink Floyd, and the tickets will be about 1/8 the price. Just so you know, 8 tickets inside at SPAC including Ticketmaster's fees was less than $250

Post waters Floyd is vapid bullshit. Without Ezrin there probably wouldn't be any post waters Floyd as Gilmore didn't actually do much writing, hell his wife wrote more than he did. Their record label rejected A momentary lapse and made them rewrite it because it was so bad.

Yep, Im prepared for the anti-Trump on-stage assault.  And ya he's a dick.   Don't care.  Im a Floyd fan from the early stuff all the way to both Gilmour and Waters' solo stuff.  I can't just turn off 40 years of music preferences.  And this may be his last major tour.

OK.....first of all I've seen him two times in the past. Once in 87 for the Radio KAOS tour and it was awesome with no politics injected. Saw him again when GW was prez and the politics were almost too much but the music was good. Now............no fucking way. Instead of Waters singing the line, "We don't need no education" it should be "You'll receive indoctrination". The anti-Trump shit will be too much unless your a flaming liberal.

PS
You should have took that money and got front row at some venue to see TOOL.

I saw him a few years ago. Great seats, tenth row center. Would have walked out but I was someone's guest.

The new 'Wall' animation was full of shit about US troops murdering innocent Iraqis.  During the intermission it's a slideshow of pictures of soldiers; US, English, Nazi Waffen SS, Iranian Revolutionary Guard, all mixed in because we're all the same to him.

Musically it was fine. He assembled a crew of first-rate musicians, like that guitar player from SNL.

I wouldn't spend that kind of money, but a friend of mine bought a pair of $700 a piece VIP tickets for the 2010 The Wall show in Atlanta. The day before the show his wife got sick and couldn't go so he gave her ticket to me.



Another Brick in the Wall part 2 was our unofficial 1980 high school class song. I enjoyed the probably once in a lifetime for me VIP access including good food and an open bar. The show was great, and I'm glad I went.

When I was 14 I worked at a movie theatre that played 'THE WALL' every weekend at midnight. One night I was up in the projection booth watching through the little window.

The movie was spooling from one reel to another about a foot off the ground, and you had to step over it to get to the projection window. Terrible design.

I went to leave and tripped over the motherfucker. It started spilling all over the floor and I bolted.

Next day I show up and a coworker tell me, "The Wall came off the reel last night and came all the way down the stairs!"

Everyone thought it was just a fluke, so I stayed out of trouble, but I did get fired a month later for some other retarded shit.

Pink Floyd, IMHO, is the greatest band ever....if you listen to their music from the early days with Syd Barret, and follow the progression to The Division Bell, its astonishing the breadth of music they put out, always pushing boundaries.

Led Zeppelin are a close second, but the sheer variety of music the Floyd put out eclipses (no pun intended) Zeppelin, in my book.

Pink Floyd isn't Pink Floyd without Roger Waters. While David is a great guitar player has has just about zero ability to compose.

WTF are you talking about, Nick Mason is the Floyd drummer, and as far as I know never got kicked out....

Wright was keyboards, and he never got kicked out....

Now you may have a slight point about the band not being the same without Waters, but they were still better than Waters solo. Momentary Lapse of Reason and Division Bell were both great albums....

What are you talking about? Wright most certainly did get kicked out for his coke habit, never contributing anything, and finally not showing up to record.

Momentary lapse and tdb were terrible. Momentary was so bad the record label told them to rewrite it and had to bring people in to help, a first floyd Floyd so you really can't even call it Floyd. Hell, David Gilmores wife did a better job writing for Floyd than David did.

Eric Clapton did a better job playing Floyd on the guitar than Gilmore himself.

Uh, are you talking about Syd Barret? And Syd had a hallucinegenics issue, not coke...

About Wright...."Wright died of an undisclosed form of cancer on 15 September 2008, aged 65.[236] His former bandmates paid tributes to his life and work; Gilmour said "In the welter of arguments about who or what was Pink Floyd, Rick's enormous input was frequently forgotten. He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognised Pink Floyd sound."[237] A week after Wright's death, Gilmour performed "Remember a Day" from A Saucerful of Secrets, written and originally sung by Wright, in tribute to him.[238] Keyboardist Keith Emerson released a statement praising Wright as the "backbone" of Pink Floyd.[239]"

He technically left the badn for a while after The Wall, mainly because him and Waters were not getting along, but he wasn't kicked out...and he didn't appear on The Final Cut, but he was back for Momentary, after Waters left...

As for the rest of your nonsense, its not even worth answering.,

A top rate musical performance is worth spending some money on, especially if it's your one opportunity.

I'd pay that much right now to see Tom Waits. In a few months the wife an I are taking vacation to see Nick Cave.
