face = $125

total cost for 4 w/service fee = $564.75

I would love a ticket but I don't know if I can justify, or swing, $125 for this. I'll think about it and hopefully it's still around if/when I make my mind up...

[Jay Funk Dawg]

i wanna go!

[Kanada Kev]

pm me and we can work out arrangements if you want a pair (or 4) of the tix i mentioned

[edger]

We're in for opening night as well. Stoked!

[Jay Funk Dawg]

will get back to you - gotta check on the funds!

[deranger]

I am so fucking stoked for this show. I cannot fuckin wait to see this. For my money, Roger Waters is a musical and artist genius. I have never seen, nor will I ever see again, anything like the concert I'm going to see on Weds.

Did I mention I was fucking stoked?

And thanks Kev for the links, very cool.

Here's another interesting WALL recording. Much of it is the same as the final mix, but a lot is different. Start listening and you'll notice right away where there are differences. Cool shit.

More Roger ... time to prime

Amused to Death further explores Waters’ disillusionment with modern Western society, focusing specifically on the influence of television and the mass media. The album was inspired by the book Amusing Ourselves to Death, a critique of television and its related culture by Neil Postman. Continuing Waters’ trend of having well known guest guitarists featured on his solo albums, Amused to Death features Jeff Beck on lead guitar.

Like every studio album Roger Waters has recorded since The Dark Side of the Moon, Amused to Death is a concept album. This one is organised loosely around the idea of a monkey randomly switching channels on a television, but explores numerous political and social themes, including critiques of the First Gulf War in “The Bravery of Being Out of Range†and “Perfect Senseâ€, in which famed sportscaster Marv Albert narrates a war as if it were a basketball game, and a massive choir sings their “global anthemâ€:

Can’t you see

It all makes perfect sense

Expressed in dollars and cents

Pounds, shillings, and pence

how 'bout a little more Roger?

Roger Waters “IN THE FLESH†was released by Sony/Columbia on December 5th. The double CD recording of the entire live show, drawn from performances in Phoenix, Arizona, Las Vegas, Nevada, Irvine, California, and Portland, Oregon, is Roger’s first full-length release since 1992′s “Amused To Death.†A deluxe DVD version of “In The Flesh†– featuring a Hi Definition live concert video with 5.1 Dolby Digital and LPCM Stereo music mixes, a 30-minute behind-the-scenes documentary, band biographies, still photographs, projected images, lyrics, and more – was released almost 2 years later.

Appearing with Roger Waters (guitar, vocals, and bass) on “In The Flesh†is his band of top-flight musicians including Andy Fairweather-Low (guitar), Snowy White (guitar), Doyle Bramhall II (guitar and vocals), Graham Broad (drums), Jon Carin (keyboards), Andy Wallace (keyboards), Katie Kissoon (vocals), Susannah Melvoin (vocals), and PP Arnold (vocals).

Throughout the U.S. tour, critics praised the power of Waters’ performances, the timelessness of his music, the show’s intimate production values and seamless structure. The San Jose Mercury News reported that the show “was rock as art, with the kind of concern for sound rarely seen today.†And the Fort Worth Star Telegram raved that “his long, luscious two-set show made up mainly of Floyd classics was on a more human scale? this show felt like a celebration.†The Los Angeles Times was equally enthusiastic and wrote, “the show illustrated the extent to which Waters operatic rock has influenced generations.†– rogerwaters.org

Damn. I'm excited for this. Last time I saw Roger the sound nearly knocked me right on my ass. (mind you my seats were miles better than they will be tomorrow night...but still)

Looking forward to the imagery he's got up his sleeves this time round too.

[Kanada Kev]

Heard on the radio this morning that they just confirmed a group of 25 kids from a music program at a local school for the 3 shows in Toronto!!!

http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/860620--regent-park-kids-to-sing-backup-for-pink-floyd-anthem

Whoa! I'm trying to imagine what it would be like to see one of my kids up on stage in a show like this! Sweet

[phishtaper]

[Dr_Evil_Mouse]

Thanks for the links, KK. Our eldest daughter just discovered Floyd, though watching the Wall with us a couple of weeks ago. It'll be nice having something relatively new to share together.

[Kanada Kev]

Right on! Lots to discuss when it comes to the Floyd.

My daughter, who is 6, has always been fond of Floyd. The main reason is the PINK PIG. She has a thing for pigs She also loves the Beatles, but recently announced that Rush is her favourite band She makes me laugh ... especially when she starts to rock out.

[Dr_Evil_Mouse]

All I can say is that it's a welcome change from all the screamo .

[deranger]

ONE MORE DAY!!!

AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!

So pumped......I hate the fact my seats are 300 level but I just couldn't afford anything better.....I really hope considering the size of the show, where I sit won't really matter.

ONE MORE DAY!

[edger]

I'm thinking it shouldn't matter too much as long as you've got a good angle.

[Jay Funk Dawg]

I can't believe I'm missing this! Arrg! Reviews please!

[TheAlphaNerd]

Review: It was good!
