So we're gonna have Roger Waters playing 'The Wall'. Oh joy. Last time he played by God it was one of the dullest two hours of my life.

omgggggggg this would be my dreammmmmmmmmmmm

[LusciousLucy]

Who says so?

When he played back in 02 I made the mistake of leaving after only 2 tracks. That quadraphonic sound system was one of the best things we have ever had at Glastonbury!

Why do you think he'll be playing?

He has shows in Switzerland on the Friday and Saturday, and while that doesn't exclude Glastonbury entirely it does make it VERY unlikely IMO.

+1

I thought he'd been pretty well ruled out by his touring commitments?

[Paul ™]

Yeah doubtful due to tour dates scheduled, so I got standing tickets for the o2 Dublin gig instead

Well the last time he played it was one of the best moments of my life!!!!  Hey instead of whinging you could watch something else.  Just a thought.  

[eoinca]

Have tickets to see him in Dublin in may, so don't care if he does or not!

Yes yes. I'm planning on The Glade regardless.

Ans someone informed me he's on Sunday eve. It may well be true, it couldbe a lie, but my mate informs me he's in the country...

I love these early rumours we get they could be anyone and I really, really hope this is true!!!!

Agreed in light of this I would be amazed if he could pull that off!

+1 - the way the sound was "circling" around the audience was great! Although I'm not at all sure about him playing cards on stage during that one track (off "Animals" if memory serves).

Logistics look unlikely, but we can only hope!

I was at the front for his 2002 appearance and thought it was ace.....

ha ha i stayed. yes, that system was fantastic. waters was pretty good, too. and everybody was off the heads on booze and/or whatever on a dark drizzly afternoon. v atmospheric.

[eoinca]

Wasn't at glasto, but I saw him performing DSOTM a few years ago and it was the greatest gig I've ever been at.

The Wall is not as good as DSOTM though!

Shit.  Because it's the o2 and because it's the wall.

[Martin Ashford]

I thought Waters at Glastonbury one of the best shows the festival has ever hosted. I also thought his last DSOTM tour was far more imaginative than the last Floyd shows which I also caught at Earls Court. Waters seems very happy to give Syd the full respect he is due as a major icon whereas the Floyd generally underplay Syd's contribution. I'm watching The Wall on the opening night and have massive expectations.

Just hearsay bollocks.

Respectfully disagree with this - to me they make a huge deal. Whether that's writing an album about him whilst at the peak of their powers, or other songs here and there ("and when the band you're in starts playing different tunes" / "why did we tell you that you were always the golden boy, and that you'd never lose the light in your eyes"), or his face on the screen at their shows, or producing his solo albums, etc?
