I just bought tickets $94.75ea plus all the fees, off the floor but down low on the aisle. Been back in a Floyd mood this year so kinda fits - I didn't even remember he was doing the tour in 2020. I saw Roger once I think it was the 1999 his In the Flesh tour which was an outdoor shed type tour, it was good. Not sure anything can surpass Gilmour in 2016, but their shows are different anyway.
I am seeing him in July - bought the tickets 2 years ago. Always puts on a spectacular show ...
I can’t wait for this show. I got tix for the whole fam for the KC show over Labor Day weekend. It will be my kid’s first Big Show. They will have just turned 6 and 8. I’ve never seen him but have the Blu Ray of the Us and Them tour and what he did with the power plant over the entire floor section was incredible. This will be his first tour in the round and I can’t wait to see what he comes up with this time. I gotta get that shirt that says “Welcome my son. Welcome to the Machine”. I hope later on in life they will thank me for taking them to see a legend. They love the line “Hey Teacher, Leave those kids alone!”
then a few weeks later I got 11th row aisle to Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets in Tulsa. No kids that time though. Seeing half of original Floyd in a span of 6 weeks is going to be awesome!
I saw the Us and Them tour, and it was amazing. I also have the bluray. The power station was definitely cool.
@sang, are you going to see Nick Mason at Chicago Theater?
I've only seen him once in probably late 90s. He did The Wall. I think I paid like $25 or something. Awesome show. I might go this year. The tix are reasonably priced. The Wall is my favorite Floyd album.
Everything in Moderation. Including Moderation.
I don't believe this tour is a Wall tour like he has done before. Pretty sure it will be solo material plus stuff he wants to play from Floyd years - similar to the 2017-2018 tour. I think he might've got all it's worth out of the Wall at this point.
@nebish Don't think so - was that another rescheduled show, or is this new?
The Nick Mason shows are new I believe (announced last fall), but they already moved the US dates from Jan/Feb originally to the fall
I get in a Pink Floyd mood from time to time too. Years ago I got to see one show on this tour. No Roger Waters but Pratt was excellent on bass and another guitarist surprisingly played a lot of lead guitar.
But the band was excellent. Had to sit in the way back area but I had field glasses.
The band was very tight, extremely clean and polished and the sound system was incredible. Every instrument perfectly mixed and clear and strong in the mix. Too bad all bands don't have this kind of sound system and this slick and polished when they play ( jamming bands of course are creating on the fly so I cut them some slack and actually enjoy the jam thing even if it gets close to going off the rails)
