You won't pay £50 to see nearly 3 hours of brilliant live music from a really on form legend? (who we may never see live again). Personally I would pay a lot more.
Put this into perspective - we pay 10 times this amount for a Hi Line!

I looked at the title of the thread and thought great, Pete Namlook and Klaus Schulze are doing some more Dark Side of the Moog stuff. Oh well I'll have to make do with the 10 cd series instead

quote:The band features Andy Fairweather Low (guitar and vocals), Snowy White (guitar), Dave Kilminster (guitar and vocals), Jon Carin (keyboards and vocals), Graham Broad (drums), Harry Waters (Hammond organ) and Ian Ritchie (saxophone) with Katie Kissoon, PP Arnold and Carol Kenyon on vocals.
Most of Pink Floyd?

thats my point its not floyd at all, just a fading ex floyd member with his own band !
ive seen floyd 3 times in the early days with ALL members then twice without waters even gilmour as solo. the least impressive gig was waters doing in the flesh which quite frankly was embarassing at times as the voice was well and truly going, god knows what he sounds like a few years on!!
but enjoy the gig anyway as the show itself will be ok.
i personally wont be going as gilmour - mason - wright arent on the show list.

Hmm,
Thats changed a bit as in the original mail it intimated that the second half - Dark Side would contain the other members. I imagined that it would be like this year with guest appearances from Nick Mason & Rick Wright.
Sorry if that has given the wrong impression to anyone.

steve,
no problem mate, just trying to put the record straight. nobody loves floyd more than me but my opinion and its just mine, waters lost the plot many years ago.i blame him more than any other member for the split. but not entirelly as gilmour has made it difficult too.
enjoy the show it should still be good.

I've seen Big Rog twice this year, both times he was excellent, blowing Gilmour (who I saw three times) out of the water IMO. His band was tighter than a gnat's chuff, and even guitarist Dave Kilminster's gurning and flashy excess didn't spoil things too much.
I have my tickets for Earls Court already.
He has just as much right to play this stuff as Gilmour, Mason and Wright. Let's be honest, AMOLR and Division Bell are the two worst PF albums and that bloated circus which traipsed round the globe in 87, 88, 89, 90 and 94 wasn't really Pink Floyd, was it? It was Gilmour with two Floyds and a big backing band, playing some classic PF material and some distinctly moribund new stuff.
Waters faces a challenge. Whenever Fat Dave plucks his guitar or sings, it sounds like the Floyd. Waters has to stand or fall on his own merits, on the strength of his songs and their performance. Personally I prefer his 06 verson of DSOTM to the "Floyd" version of 94 - it's harder-edged and more funky.
And I'm very fond of him, he's such a magnificent old ham, and that always makes him worth watching.
Roll on next May!
