Seeing as they are announcing a new tour of The Wall next Monday! Just wow!

All these things in one day that I never thought I'd get to see.

I refuse to believe this will happen at Glastonbury. Because even if the smallest, faintest, possible hope emerges of either Rog or Dave playing, I won't be able to do anything without dribbling for the next 2 and a bit months.

So go away, rumour. I can't handle you.

I think I've just died.

Ohhhh, heaven's nice.

[Langdale Wolf]

2002 was special but the wall would be immense

I would happily die surrounded by empty burrow hill containers and a number of un emptied catheter bags....

It's Roger Waters, not Pink Floyd.

He has a good band but does not sing himself as his own voice is shot.

Apart from a couple of tracks, The Wall is the most disappointing album Floyd recorded - IMO anyway

[When Jokers Attack]

I'm a big fan of The Wall.

[Craig_G]

Ok, so it's Roger Walters. Not that bothered. And I love The Wall. I'll be up early on Monday waiting for this announcement for the tour.

tbh I doubt he'd play Glastonbury this year either but maybe I'll be coming back here in a couple of weeks saying how wrong I was...

[strudders]

The Wall is second only to Sgt Pepper as my favourite ever album. I'm in a minority, but it's my favourite Floyd album. It's a work of pure genius.

Personally, I'm dismissing the rumours not just for my reasons above, but because I don't think this tour will start until the late autumn 2010. Maybe you'll get it for Glastonbury 2011, but I ain't going to be there. Which is a different sore point altogether.

[KaleidoscopeEyes]

a tear of joy just ran down my face, just at the possibility of them playing

[Block of Mud]

This would be f**king brilliant.

Meh. I hate Waters. Love Floyd.

Meh. I hate Waters. Love Floyd.

The Roger Water's Wall Concert in Berlin on 21 July 1990 was one of the best Concert I have ever seen .

Sadly the WBC did not have the Beer Contract so I went as a Punter. { bit of a shame that as for some daft reason the bars were not allowed to sell alcohol - it was only low alcohol beer and bloody expensive it was as well }

By good fortune I went with two Dutch friends who speak perfect German and we arrived in the morning so was able to get very close to the huge stage.

Held in Potsdamer Platz (a location which was part of the former "no-man's land" of the Berlin Wall this concert was even bigger than the Pink Floyd era ones { which I also saw live } as Waters built a 550-foot long and 82-foot high wall, which was broken down in the same show.

The show had a sell-out crowd of over 200,000 people, and right before the performance started the gates were opened to the concert and an additional 100,000 to 500,000 (estimates vary) people were able to enter for free From East Berlin so we are talking about a huge audience. We went to a local party in East Berlin and two hours later we could hear them repeating the part that had been broken up at the start of the show.

its nearly twenty years but I can still remember it as if it was yesterday.

Did anyone reading this also attend ?

I have worked at a Roger Waters event - one was at Hyde Park and the other was Glastonbury and on both occasions I managed to get the time off to see him.

perhaps next year but who knows.

[Wanderlei]

Pink Floyd at Glasto would be one of the best case scenarios ever!!! Only The Smiths would top that.

[chimpy]

I must have had about ten different walkman / portable cassette players. I'd knacker at least one a year. This is as result of a long walk to school, and spending lots of time as a child flying economy long haul.

I remember the first one I got that had auto-reverse. Awia it was. Awesome. Lasted three months.

Was the O2 even standing by the way? I remember thinking of going, and I'm pretty sure it was all seating.

[Tugger2k]

Away from wife with screaming newborn and toddler?! Sounds idyllic mate but as likely as a Premier League referee admitting a mistake.

[Langdale Wolf]

its one night

although i completely understand and respect your reasoning and shall post nothing sarcastic or demeaning about it

[judyblue110]

when he did DOSTM it was all seating -nobody took a blind bit of notice tho!!
