Roger Waters on Tour

Post by 1Gary »

Roger Waters of Pink Floyd what wrote "The Wall" at 68 yrs old is going on tour with a high tech show unmatched by anyone.A high energy show that if not seen this time will be unlikely available again.I suggest if you get a chance this summer to see it,you should go. :guitar:

Gary you're showing your age... you don't have to sneak a camera anymore. You can even get away with recording video. I saw Pink Floyd in San Diego in High School sans Roger Waters. They put on a great show and who knew, he is in Portland tomorrow and of course I can't make it.

Are you sure? My ticket says "no recordings". I have a feeling they wouldn't let me in with my camera.

Anyway, my friend who was setting up the show for tomorrow sent me some pics. He says it takes 100 people to set up and take down. We just got a new roof on our stadium (BC Place), and tomorrow is supposed to be sunny, so maybe they'll open it. I can't wait! :bounce:

You sure are some lucky folks. I'd have loved to have seen them all in their prime not just Waters. I would go see him in a heartbeat though. Lately I have an infatuation with this song:
