Roger Waters

[radish]

From an e-mail alert thing -

With Roger already hinting that this could be his final big tour, and the legendary David Gilmour confirmed to be appearing alongside him at one of the shows, this is already promising to be the hottest tour of the decade.

It looks suspiciously like there's a reason for that gap in the dates. The obvious ideas are either Glastonbury or Hard Rock Calling.

[Bobs]

I know it sounds mad, because Roger is an absolute living legend, like one of the best for a long long, if not ever, easily capable of a headline slot, but is he appreciated, I think a legend slot could happen? Just extend it a little longer, i'd love that, The Man is a legend.

[gazza_20]

i reckon a Hard Rock/Glasto type slot like Stevie Wonder did

[When Jokers Attack]

He's been added as a rumour

[MrZigster]

So you thought you might like to go to the show ...

[Bort]

Will that insanely epic production fit in the pyramid stage?

..and having watched that, you're right. I am cussing like mad here for not trying to get tickets when there were still decent seats going.

So hoping he'll do Glastonbury now but don't honestly think it's realistic to expect all that paraphanalia and pyrotechnics to make its way there. If he does HRC instead it's another option if I don't get a ticket for G I suppose.

Hmmmm, not looking quite so good now for those hoping for a Glasto and/or Hyde Park appearance to fill the apparent 'hole' in the schedule Said 'hole' has reduced in size somewhat recently it would seem and the only potential date is now Sunday 26th June cos it looks as though an extra night in Zurich has been sneaked in:

Wed 22nd June - Budapest

Fri 24th June - Zurich

Sat 25th June - Zurich

Sun 26th June - ?????

Mon 27th June - who cares !

Tue 28th June - Manchester

[strummer77]

Chances of 3 nights on the trot feels kinda slim TBH but add to that travelling from Zurich as well and it feels very much slimmer I think.

Sorry to be the bringer of potentially bad 'news' and all that

Well, if you want to get *really* p!SSed off ... then you could always check out some of the other great vids posted by the same guy: linky Bl**dy exxxxxcellent stuff and I've absolutely no idea how he managed to get away with it ! but I really must stop looking for sneaky previews of the show or there will be no surprises whatsoever for me come May next year Alternatively, cross hammers everything and keep one eye open for more dates - they're still sneaking occasional extra tour dates in even now, although doubtful for London I think but there still has to be a distinct possibility of more dates for Manchester I guess

*IF* he does play Glasto then not only will I be mighty p!SSed off for not being there but it will surely have to be a very cut down show anyway. Even 2002 was a significantly cut down version of the standard show. It's a good 2.5 hours long apart from anything else not to mention all of the 'stuff' and techo gizmos various being used. Similar story for Hyde Park although a bit more of a chance for getting at least some of the bells and whistles I would imagine. The curious extra dates back in the UK around the relevant time for Glasto and/or Hyde Park simply has to be highly indicative of something going to happen somewhere ... but my money's still on Hyde Park with only the merest hint of a possibility of Glasto either as well as or even less likely, instead of Hyde Park.

Damn.

That pretty much rules both out.

[Wanderlei]

I'm glad i didn't hold my breath.

Bollocks.

[MrZigster]

Ditto that.

Indeed, I left it too late to get any decent seats for the UK dates too.. mainly due to being away each time they were on sale.

Been looking at the 02 Dublin date, still standing available.. what's the venue like Nal?

[Paul ™]

Cool cheers for that, it was the photo I was looking at too.

Still waiting for Ryanair to release flights that far in advance
