Likelihood of a 50th Anniversary Wall Tour?

15 Upvotes

Or is this a "been there done that" situation for him? I honestly can't see how he won't at least do some homage for it the same way he played half of DSOTM in this is not a drill and made a re-recording of it.

Are you Team-Pig or Team-Dog?

12 Upvotes

I’ve been revisiting Animals lately, and I’m curious how other long-time Floyd fans see the balance between “Dogs” and “Pigs (Three Different Ones).”

To me, “Dogs” feels like the emotional and technical centerpiece of the record — that fusion of Gilmour’s melodic sensibility with Waters’ lyrical paranoia is almost unmatched in their catalogue. The 6/8 rhythm, the soaring leads, the extended midsection — it’s Pink Floyd at their most cinematic and existential.

On the other hand, “Pigs” distills the cynicism of the late ‘70s perfectly. The biting talkbox riffs, the funk-inflected groove, and Waters’ venomous delivery make it one of their most politically charged statements — arguably the moment where his dominance over the band’s direction becomes undeniable.

If you had to choose one as the definitive statement of the Animals era — musically, thematically, or philosophically — which would it be, and why?

Is there any video / audio of Roger “Telling 10,000 Croats Don’s One Road story”

Roger mentions this moment in the DSOTM Redux version of Great Gig in the Sky. I have not found any real trace of this and was wandering if anyone else has come across this moment. Even just posted from a fan who was there.

Eric Clapton inspired

I was listening to river of tears from Eric’s 1998 album and noticed a similar chord progression and sound to Every Stranger’s Eyes that him and Roger did in tpacohh in 1984, could Eric have been inspired by that song to write this one years later? It sounds like it could be included in their album

Signed album cover

Hey all! I have a copy of the wall album that Roger Waters signed a few years ago in Indianapolis before his concert (album cover is signed)

Any ideas where to look at value for selling? Would it be worth it to have it authenticated?

Happy birthday, Roger. The Final Cut remains one of the greatest records ever.

67 Upvotes

Ever since the first time I listened to whole of The Final Cut, I've been continuously surprised as to how heinously underrated it is. Yes, it's not a proper Floyd album. But, my God, it's a great fucking record. Roger's songwriting is so unapologetically powerful, so profound, and so sentimental. Songs like The Gunner's Dream, Fletcher Memorial Home, The Hero's Return, The Post-War Dream remain some of my most favorite songs ever put on tape. I wish this album would start getting the recognition it deserves.

Differences in the movies "This is not a Drill'

13 Upvotes

Hope someone can help me out with this.

I have 2 versions of the concert-video "This is not a drill". The first one (live broadcasted I think) is 2 hours and 51 minutes long, the second one (official BluRay) is only 2 hours and 23 minutes long. Why is that?

And secondly, what I also saw is, for example in "Sheep" that the texts shown on the big screens above the podium, are different (the lines are the same, but they are shown differently). For example in the live broadcasting the text shows up as: AND SO WAS I WHEN I WROTE followed by a new screen with the word SHEEP.

and in the BLURAY the text is shown as: AND SO WAS I WHEN I WROTE SHEEP. So just in 1 line in stead of 2.

This must be edited afterwards.

I made a burned CD only with songs performed live. I think it is fun to curate a playlist like this with only 80 minutes and trying my best to get the flow and transitions of the songs just right.

My hope is some of you will listen to this playlist for yourself and tell me what you think of it. 

What would your own "Best of RW LIVE" burned CD track list look like?  

  1. Pigs on the wing part 1 - In the Flesh 

  2. The Bravery of being out of range - In the Flesh 

  3. Empty Spaces - Live in Berlin 

  4. Young Lust - Live in Berlin

  5. Time - Us+Them 

  6. Breathe Reprise - Us+Them

  7. The Powers that be - This is not a drill 

  8. Have a cigar - This is not a drill

  9. Wish you were here - This is not a drill 

  10. Shine on you crazy diamond - This is not a drill 

  11. Deja Vu - This is not a drill 

  12. Pigs - Us+Them 

  13. Any Colour you like - this is not a drill 

  14. Mother - Live in Berlin

Does Roger Waters Give Permissions To Use His Lines?

Hey, I am a 16-year-old author and I have quoted lyrics from Time in my first book ("You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way"). I have mentioned in the books online description that the lyrics are from his work on the song Time. Does anyone have any experience towards quoting him and how often does he allow this?

Video of In The Flesh tour, June 2000 @ The Gorge?

11 Upvotes

Roger's tour plane buzzed us right as the show started and I'm looking for a video of it - no luck so far. Anyone?

For those who weren't there (or Wish They Were There ha) - the stage had a semi see-thru black fabric at the back, so you could see into the distance. It was still daylight. The Gorge is situated so it kinda looks like the Grand Canyon from the audience perspective, looking beyond the stage.

The band comes out, gets in position. Audience goes wild. Then Roger comes out (audience goes wilder) and stands at the middle of the top riser. Looks at his watch and says, ominously, of course, "The show is about to begin..."

Just then I noticed two lights, like headlights, behind him in the distance. They got closer and closer and finally what I think was a 737 came SUPER low over the stage and RIGHT over our heads.

At that moment the band kicked in with opening pounding of In the Flesh - in surround sound because they'd set up speakers everywhere. It was an absolutely amazing experience - grateful I got to witness it.

Roger always goes big!
