TimmyB Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) I will be in Europe for the Toronto date, actually on that day I hope to be in Rome seeing Genesis, which means I will likely be making a trip up to Ottawa to see what was easily one of the best gigs I have witnessed in 2006.TimFrom www.billboard.com Waters Bringing 'Dark Side' Back To North AmericaFebruary 14, 2007, 1:10 PM ETJonathan Cohen, N.Y.Roger Waters will follow up his fall North American tour performing "Dark Side of the Moon" in its entirety with a spring run, kicking off May 18 in West Palm Beach, Fla. The Pink Floyd principal will be backed by a six-piece band, which includes his son Harry on Hammond organ, and three vocalists.Waters first tested the "Dark Side" concept with a European tour last summer, then visited North America in the fall. Sans Waters, Pink Floyd performed "Dark Side of the Moon" in full for the first time during its 1994 tour in support of "The Division Bell." With Waters back in the fold, the band performed the "Dark Side" tracks "Breathe" and "Money" as part of its four-song set at Live 8 in 2005.Before the North American dates, Waters and company are on the road across the world through May 14 in Dublin. The band next plays Hong Kong tomorrow (Feb. 15). Here are Roger Waters' North American tour dates: May 18: West Palm Beach, Fla. (Sound Advice Amphitheatre)May 19: Tampa, Fla.

Kanada Kev Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Back this time at the Skydome, eh? Logically, that should mean that tix should be cheaper ... but i know that they won't I'm gald I went to the show at the ACC recently and it was worth every penny. This time around, i'll probably try to score an underpriced extra the day of . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faoy Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 He didn’t sell out the ACC last time and I highly doubt they’ll open up the entire Rogers Centre for the show. If ticket prices are at par with the 2006 gig I think that’s fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Here's hoping this is affordable. I'm still kicking myself for missing him the last time around (lip-synchs notwithstanding). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wooly Mammoth Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I plan to go to the Ottawa show. tix on sale march 5 according to roger waters' web site. For those that went to the earlier shows - was there a pre-sale thingy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Al, I don't know about the presales. I got my ticket (2nd row off the floor at centre ice) the day before the show (ticket dump). Lucky I guess The visuals are stunning in this show, as is the sound. You really don't want to be TOO close. Ideally, being dead-centre in the floor would be the best for visuals and the quad-sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
