Just got another confirmation e-mail. Has anyone got any idea what time the box office opens? It states gates open at 6:15pm and show starts 7:45pm, I'm standing and I'll be happy to be about half way to the front to be honest. I'm tall enough to see over most people and want to be able to take it all in without being to near the front, getting a bit old for that...sarcastic.gif

Re Box Office collection: If it's anything like for the o2 gigs, it was only pre-sale tickets bought through r-w.com that had to be collected in person on the night. I was somewhat concerned about queues and problems but it was a completely painless experience. Just wandered virtually straight up up to the Box Office which opened a couple of hours or so before the arena doors opened. No significant queue, just a couple of peeps in front of each window, showed e-mail & ID and was handed shiny golden tickets tix in hand-written named envelope. All sorted and a very happy bunny in less than a couple of mins so plenty of time for beer 'n' munchies and a bit of wandering around etc. before the show. They were pretty hot on ID matching the name/address on the ticket order though so don't forget it ! No ID = no tix will not make for an enjoyable evening and all that wink.png

well it starts at 7:45PM and its claimed it has a running time of 2 1/2 hours { in his recent shows } http://www.hollywood...coliseum-327028 but you never know as he may slip in some extra tracks ' after the wall '

So on paper your looking at 10.15 ' if he sticks to his previous shows ' although I would be surprised if he did not do a few encores.

Watching him on this 12:12:12 gig here. Its weird. Hes gone a bit showbiz on Another Brick in the Wall these days. Kids dancing in stage, lots of gesturing to the crowd, fist pumping etc.

And he looks sort of happy to be there too. What the fuck is going on here? Spit at someone and say something snotty about "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" will you? Thats what the punters have paid to see.

Yeah had it set to record and everything and cancelled at the last minute! Emailed them there about telling them that you wouldn't catch BBC 4 doing that.

Also, whos the bellend singer he has on stage?

Check out this review of the evening by the New Yorker if you fancy a laugh. Very funny.

"Roger Waters was apparently told that the concert was about Roger Waters."

Gotta be honest, and it pains me to say it, part of his performance the other night was bordering on cringing. Lots of hands in the air 80s stadium band stuff, really poor singing (even for him) and the randomer singing Gilmours bits pissed me right off.

Us and Them for example, went from the spine-tinglingly fantastic when it was just the music, to the fingers in the ears horrifically shit when the vocals came in.

Get Gilmour and Mason on the phone Rodge. ASAP.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
