Pink Floyd?

One of the albums of the year for me. Loving it.

Hardly a glowing review though. Momentary Lapse is genuinely one of the worst albums ever made by a major act.

I love it. I think it's better than all the post-final cut Floyd albums.

Thank you both, you've convinced me!

True, Momentary Lapse is incredibly dull, at least Division Bell was much better. The first Floyd album I bought was Relics, still reckon that's an ace compilation.

Saw Roger in 2011 on that more recent wall tour and was blown away. The old man took me along last min so I might have to get him a ticket this time to repay the favor.

It's pretty similar in style to his other solo stuff, especially amused to death, so if you arent keen on that then you probably wont enjoy the new one much. 

I think it's definitely better than all his solo albums, but not quite up there with the final cut.

Roger’s playing Hyde Park for British Summer Time on Friday July 6th. Hoping for more UK shows but if not then at least that might be fairly reasonably priced.

29/06 - Hydro, Glasgow, 2/07 - Arena, Manchester, 3/07 - Echo Arena, Liverpool, 7/07 - Arena, Birmingham. £75ish-£110ish.

Think I’m gonna have to choose Palestine Rog over Kung Fu Kenny this week.

£90 a pop. Impressive show but I can't justify that.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Having spent on the Prodigy & Jim Jefferies last week, there is no chance I can afford this.

Tickets are set to go on general sale from Friday October 6, ranging from £89.90 for general admission to £249.90 for a Diamond View ticket

I was working at Hyde park in 2006 but was able to fix my shift so I was able to see it all.

I could work it again but I would rather pay the money as its likely he will not tour again.

think it was £80 at Wembley and the 02 a few years ago 

Hyde Park is not where I would like to see him but what the hell - if I am fit I will be there.

[dentalplan]

Wo. £90 and you’re still behind a barrier for Gold Circle, which in itself is behind the Diamond View barrier? Awful.

[MrZigster]

Where is this info coming from?

I usually get heads up emails and I can't see anything on his website about this yet.

Anyone know when tickets are likely to go on sale?

Hi mate. Nice to see you posting again. Hope you are well.

After a bit of digging I found the info (on the news pages here, durr).

Luckily I will be in but I'm at work until about 02:00 that morning so will have to set about three alarms.

I'll have a mate trying as well if I can get hold of him.

Hopefully us long time signed people will get a pre-sale.

For BST? Sign up here (email option bottom right corner) just in case.

For other venues there are various going on; worth checking Ticketmaster info to see which ones at which venue.

 

[russycarps]

ah fuck. Hyde park. FFS!

Time to check out the foreign dates I guess.

 

 

[FuzzyDunlop]

How fast do you think hyde park will sell out? I havent got a chance this month.

Thanks for that, but it requires f*****g f******k!

I don't do f******k.

Unfortunately (in this instance).

There's an email signup link just underneath the Facebook button, on the right hand side.

I shoulda just put the direct link to that but we're here now.

Nice one! I'd never have noticed that.

Done.

I dunno, I think it will sell out pretty fast, as I suspect roger waters fans will generally be old and wealthy who wont baulk at £90 tickets, and hyde park is the perfect location for them. There will be an ocean of picnic blankets.

I'm looking abroad, with lisbon the early favourite.

Just got a reply. Double nice one!

But, fuck me, they've let the accountants loose on this one haven't they?

I don't think I've ever seen so many different pricing tiers.

An extra £25 to get in an hour earlier (to bag a better spot presumably) plus another five even pricier options.

There will come a day when "general admission" will mean "seat behind a pillar".

Does anyone else think he may add another date? Or possibly a London arena show or two?

The last two concerts I did get sent a link for a pre sale but they were seats - not bad seats at all - Two of my Team mates will be flying in from Iceland just to go to the concert - I did not tell them the bar prices as they are High - still for me - I will be there - will be on my Computer - god knows how much the booking fee will be but I reckon it will sell out fast.

I am sure I saw some for EUR45, think you might have selected one of the VIP packages! 

I quite fancied the berlin one too, but it looks like that might be sold out.

I'd rather see more of his solo stuff and less floyd tbh, especially the darkside stuff. I appreciate I am probably in the minority here...

I know what you mean - he left PF in 1985 - if I had my way I would like to hear a lot from The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking + Radio K.A.O.S. + Amused to Death but its not going to happen as you cant please all the people all the time - Nothing to do with Roger but I do recall a excellent concert by Leonard Cohen when he did his normal set list and then was taking request - it was amazing - the request part lasted over two hours just on its own and that had to be the best value concert I have ever seen - Just a shame its not at Glasto - that would really blow the roof off { if it had a roof }
