Roger Waters' The Wall Tour (historic tour)

[Dysrhythmia]

The stage will measure 90 feet long.

The wall itself: 240 feet wide by 35 feet high is so enormous it will cross from one side of an arena to the other.

It will take 20 18 wheel semi tractor trailers just to haul the mammoth amount of equipment which includes the largest PA ever taken on the road.

A state of the art quadraphonic sound system which will deliver the best surround sound ever heard in any concert hall in the world.

It will also take a compliment of 100 crew members to bring the show to live, 12 musicians to perform the music, and an additional 100 stagehands and riggers to construct the wall itself.

I just got my VIP tickets today, and i'll be posting a bunch of pics the days following the show of the show for both dates and of everything i got at the show (merchandise).

There was a two-hour interview with Waters on www.955klos.com which i recorded as i did when he was interviewed for his DSOTM tour years ago which can be heard here:

With the publicity machine now getting into full swing, Roger Waters' 2010 Wall tour is getting some healthy promotion across the US media.

Today, a bit of advance notice for you: this coming Wednesday, May 5th, Roger is to appear as an interview guest on the popular NBC (US) television show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. He appears alongside other guests Joel McHale, Nina Dobrev, and a musical performance from The New Pornographers. The show airs at 12:35am EST/11:35pm Central. Check your local listings for channel and schedule details.

In a new interview with AP, Roger Waters talks about the mass of new material he has been working on. "I have a ton of songs. Some of them are recorded, and some of them are half-recorded, and I keep promising myself that I'm gonna find a collaborator and work on them and put them together in some kind of coherent form. I suspect I will do that in some time in the near future. But it's strange how time keeps clicking away. And each page turns faster then the last, in my experience."

The interview also finds Roger talking about The Wall - first, the postponed Broadway production (still in the works) and also ponders his inspirations for The Wall, along with the possibility of another Pink Floyd reunion (which is, as expected, unlikely to ever happen).

I heard about this, November 21st for the Dallas show, if I can fit it in with all the other festival/concert purchases I'll add it to my schedule. There were rumors of him coming to Bonnaroo this year, but we'll just have to suffice for the Flaming Lips covering Dark Side of the Moon for now...

Those ticket prices......

[TheFugitive]

Chicago September 20-21 can't wait for this show.

[ZBlacktt]

All in all it's just another brick in the wall..... epic band!

[Dysrhythmia]

Those ticket prices......

The higher priced VIP package ticket is 762+ and the reason i didn't get it was 'cas of the food... I usually end up eating at some restaurant downtown anyway so it would be a waste of money.

Wicked, man...

Indeed.

Nice that you grabbed the VIP.

I will probably get nosebleeds and try to stealth film the show.

Learned my lesson at Metallica not to try to film from the Lower bowl.

Glad to see you'll also be attending, i think Forge3 said he was going as well.

Yeah well, have seen Floyd 10X. so would be crazy for me to miss this show.

Last time was 94, really thought they would be coming back.

My dream was to one day to be able to see them play together, but unfortunately with the passing of Richard Wright and Gilmour not giving a fuck anymore i don't think it'll happen. :/

woah.

Probably not, but this will be as close to seeing them live anyway.

Roger Waters IMO is Pink Floyd. They were still great without him, but DSOTM and The Wall were their most epic albums.

[Dysrhythmia]

woah.

Shi ts going to get real...

Probably not, but this will be as close to seeing them live anyway.

Roger Waters IMO is Pink Floyd. They were still great without him, but DSOTM and The Wall were their most epic albums.

I agree with everything above. I saw Gilmour with Wright once, and Waters twice for his DSOTM tour and i'll be seeing him again two more times but after this i think that's it...

The Final Cut.

Anybody know who's going to be playing guitar for him? It's probably some virtuosic studio dude but I'm wondering if it's anyone we've heard of.

He posted this himself on his ********:

OK. Here’s the band…….All good men and true. Five new faces. G.E.Smith (guitar) Robbie Wyckoff (lead singer, doing all David’s old bits), and Jon Joyce who worked with me in 1980 and 1990 is joined on BVs by the Lennon cousins, Michael, Mark, and Kipp. The rest of the band you already know, Graham Broad (Drums), Dave Kilminster and Snowy White (Guitars), Jon Carin and Harry Waters (Keyboards). Can’t wait to get into rehearsals. Sadly, no female BVs in THE WALL, Katie, Pat, Carol, Sylvia we shall miss you!
