I will of course see this! How I love that my hero is standing up for humanity!
But is there no information about when each artist will go on stage? I have absolutely no interest in hearing the rapper Lowkey talk through his tracks! -
Annoucer: Please welcome Roger Waters!
Some other guy: No, not yet!
Wait a second... doesn't that remind of something we have heard before?
I assume that tonight we are going to have a great show?Comment

Roger waters just coming on nowComment

Just tuned in to hear Roger talk through Wish You Were Here. And link it to choosing heaven or hell in an election.Originally posted by ILuvHoney View PostLast edited by DaveTheRave; 06-21-2024, 08:15 PM.Comment

And btw, Wish You Were Here was never about Syd only. The song has a much wider meaning, as Roger and Gilmour talked about in the WYWH documentary that came out about 10 years ago or so, and which Roger has also talked about on previous occasions. The thing about "did you exchange a walk-on part in a war for a lead role in a cage" was about the dilemma of staying true to one's ideals when they are confronted, among other things. Of course the longing for Syd was a part of the inspiration for the song, but it is clearly more general and takes up lots of different topics.

Now he’s going to play WYWH for real and the Bar. Right now with Dave K.Comment

Looking forward to Gilmours new albumComment
-
All his previous albums have been dead boring, and I assume that his new album will be no exception.
Considering his age, the fact that he has not done anything musically - neither performing nor recording or releasing or anything - for 8 years, and hardly been in the public eye at all since then, and his totally servile support for all of his wife's absurd obsessive attacks against Roger (raising serious questions about his mental state, as well as his control over own life, considering that Gilmour has rarely used social media in the past years before he allegedly re-tweeted all of his wife's extreme and defamatory tweets) I highly doubt that this will be an exception.
I actually fear that his new record will be even worse than his previous ultra-boring records.
I am boycotting GIlmour anyway for his support for the genocide in Palestine (which btw is a u-turn from his stance a few years ago when he signed that letter with Roger and Nick in support of Ship to Gaza, and played for the Hoping Foundation, again raising serious questions about his mental state and the extent of control from his wife), so I will never hear it, but I doubt I am missing out on anything at all.

The version of The Bar he performed tonight has more verses than the one he has performed on tour btw. The Bar was emotional tonight as always.Comment

I thought I was commenting on a pink Floyd forum not an anti or pro Palestine forum . Nobody can support what is going on in Gaza but blaming Gilmour for it doesn't make any sense. To my knowledge he hasn't commented in anyway on the situation there so blaming him and Keir Starmer is totally unbalanced. Water's hasn't been part of Floyd for 42 years so in my mind is an irrelevanceComment

Roger has continued to release great music since leaving Pink Floyd, while Gilmour hasn't released anything worthwhile in his solo career at all (even if we include AMLOR, TDB and TER as part of his solo career - because those weren't real Pink Floyd albums - the picture will remain the same, and in the latter case even make it worse). Amused to Death is my favourite album of all time, yet I can't listen through any of Gilmour's solo albums without falling asleep, the same is true of The Division Bell. AMLOR is pure crap, except from On the Turning Away. The Endless River is a cash grab with not even a moment worth hearing. I'll take The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, When the Wind Blows, Radio K.A.O.S., Amused to Death or Is This the Life We Really Want over that anytime. And I'll take In the Flesh over Delicate Sound of Thunder or Pulse anytime as well. Roger Waters is alone a lot closer to what Pink Floyd were about than any of Gilmour's projects even came close to being, or even Gilmour's "new Pink Floyd" which was entirely under his and Polly's control.
Keir Starmer openly supports what's going in in Gaza, and he doesn't even try to hide it. Even while over 80% of the British public supports a ceasefire, Starmer opposes it, because he thinks it's so funny and cool to watch children getting slaughtered by the weapons the UK sells to Israel. As does Gilmour, as indicated by his support for his wife joining in with the hasbara smear campaign to smear Roger as an antisemite for opposing genocide.

Any further reference to the DG-RW feud will close this thread…Comment

Did not get to see it yet. Is there a setlist?Comment
-
He played Wish You Were Here and The Bar, in addition to a lengthy and very engaging speech about the subject matter. The arrangement was stripped-down, as could be expected from such a performance, with Roger playing acoustic guitar on WYWH and piano on The Bar, as well as singing both songs obviously, with Dave Kilminster playing acoustic guitar on both songs. The Bar was an extended full version that at least contained more verses than he played when I saw him on the European tour.

I believe he played Wish you were here and The bar in between telling people how to vote in the forthcoming UK elections. A shame really as I thought he considered himself to be American these daysComment
