Wish you were here...
Roger Waters in SF
- Thread starter JeffKeryk
- Start date
Seen him in Philly here recently. Needs to retire -- has nothing left to prove and he had the shakes bad while playing the piano. Also seen him in Philly for the Wall Tours in 2010 and 2012 which were phenomenal with the lasers/lights and stage show/blow ups.
Did he just do the show or did he bring his beliefs into it too like he did a few years ago?
Who?
Yes, Roger Waters is political.
Saw Pink Floyd in Raleigh 30 plus years ago. Saw Brit Floyd in Greensboro 5 weeks ago at the Tanger center. Amazing light show complete with the laser lighted pig! BF did a 12 minute version of Comfortably Numb and brought the house down! If you had walked into the venue blind folded you would have thought PF was on stage…..only better! There,…I said it!

Angry fella - hates Israel and guys named Dave.
He's also curious how you can have dessert before consuming your main course?
Ive seen Brit Floyd on TV and they were great, wish I could see them live.
OK Team, respectfully, I would ask we talk about the music and musicians. We all agreed to forego the P stuff.
All good.
There were about 10 musicains; the 2 gal singers were amazing, his lead guitarist is so good and the saxophonist almost blew us out of the GS Warriors arena. While "Money" is not one of my favorites (too much air time maybe?), the sax solo and then guitar solo was about as good as it gets. Roger was mostly behind the scenes, playing his bass parts.
Us and Them was a musical journey. I will leve it to you to YT parts of the show, if oyu wish.

I do "wish I were here." Especially when I realized just now that the last time I saw P.F. was the actual tour supporting the release of
Pink Floyd - Animals album..... Yeah , its been a while. Animals release / support tour was only back in 1977.
I do wish actors / musicians etc... would leave their religion and politics at home. Those reasons do not stop me from going to shows
anymore though. I can no longer travel is the reason.

I love Pink Floyd! I was always a Barrett guy, but Waters is cool too!

Everyone has their own political beliefs. I always put the politics aside and just enjoy the music. I’m always glad to see these guys keep doing what they love doing, playing music.

Sure OK he has his views. Fine.
He's a nut bag.
Decent musician but not qualified to run the world - f people like him - who made the big stage and now tell us.............seems 180° from some of the lyrics.

It’s like they say, if you ever met your favorite musician, actor, or celebrity you would probably hate them. Almost 100% of performing artists are very liberal politically. I just enjoy the music ignore the politics.

There’s an awesome version of Louie Louie by Pink Floyd out there somewhere that’s impossible to find. Heard it once on the radio back in 84, and haven’t heard it since.

For someone who’s about to be 80, Roger looks great!
