Rodger Waters is coming to town but holy shit the tickets are so amazingly expensive. Just don't want to pay 300 to see it to get off the upper seats. Gilmore has retired and Wright is deceased.
Had a chance to see Floyd almost 20 years ago in Denver but my now late father talked me out of it for whatever reason and I regret not going. Strange enough he bought airfare for myself and my brother to go see Woodstock '99 and if society ever crumbles, that is what it will look like.
Might go anyway as this will I am sure will be the last tour from anyone from the original band. God Syd, why so much lsd? Read a biography on Floyd and he was taking it basically every day and friends were slipping into his drinking water and so on. I can see how overdoing it constantly can destroy your mind. Great book. RIP and Wright as well. Know everyone of their albums by heart. It is ingrained in me. Syd's solo work was garbage.
Anyway September. Going to go see it.

You def better go even though that is a farcry from the original configuration.
I'd say Animals is my favorite of theirs. Basically, that and Dark Side, and the Wall, and the other I can't think of are all great.

He plays wall songs with the military gear but with covid masks! Lol. Yeah. The original original would of been so amazing during that time talking Syd time. I can just imagine going into a club/pub and hearing this really strange music playin in the late 60's. But Gilmore was great as well. All of them are unique unto themselves.
Made me laugh watching a vid of the beginning of the Waters show and the words on screens and the narrator saying, "The show is about to begin. Please turn off your cell phones for the courtesy of your fellow concert goers. If anyone has a problem with Rodgers politics you can fuck off and go to the bar."
Yeah it will never be the same but still. There is still a great vibe to it as the older generations die out. Will be a lot quicker and sooner for the Z's. Just a joke but the world is not looking to optimistic right now in the long term.

Recently went camping, tripped and listen to The Wall for the first time. It was an interesting and fun experience. Love Pink Floyd!

It is worth it. Those that are life long Floyd and Waters fans. Some classics and some new stuff. And the stage and the videos they play, looking forward to it. I know all of them.
And as Rodger gets in his old age, an old master sharing his wisdom. Old songs and new and never stop creating. It is special to me and I am sure many others. Don't have to be old to get the music. One can tell it means a lot to him. Is not like he needs the money.
On to September when his band stops by. It shows the whole career through video and music and what he is creating now. It never ends.
My respect.

Animals. The first time I watched The Wall was 100x better than the second time.
For whatever reason, I always associated Pink Floyd with the opiate inclined. Great music, although it bums me out if I listen to it too much.

Waters on the 8th, one week. Been waiting a long time. Seen a lot of vids about the concert. Still different than seeing it in person from the highest level to the lowest. And yes I will pay 268 to be next to the stage. Good thing it is Mormonville and The Floyd isn't big here. This is not a drill I think will be the last one by any Floyd member as Gilmore said he is done touring. And yes he plays all the classics and some new ones and he still cares about the late Syd. I like Waters and Gilmore both but David said he just can't physically do it anymore and with Wright dead and just the drummer, as Rodger has refused to play with him for a very long time is kind of bidding farewell to a band and music that is in my top 3 favorites of all time.
I think everyone thinks it, should I have paid more to get a good seat or floor? Two of the most boring shows I have seen was in the upper balcony and on a lawn far away from the band and even a comedian far away. Best are right next to it of course.
This is going to be fun and then the Gorillaz and Albarn, more a fan of Blur but it will do just fine two weeks after. Looking forward to that level of production and set pieces and vids on the stage.
Is so great to have the world back to a somewhat sense of normalcy again.
Enjoy your concerts people and like food, never let anyone tell you what is good or not to you. In time you know. Same with drugs but really, I think most people that are reading this post get that. On with it.
The future is coming on, is coming on, is coming on.
