I have never been able to see one of my favorite bands in concert; Pink Floyd.
I know they are actually broken up but good or bad, Roger Waters is keeping it alive with his solo career.
Anyway, I just read this article in which it announces he is doing a tour commemorating the 30 year anniversary of "The Wall".
He is coming to Dallas at AAC on November 21, 2010. Anyone interested in going to this concert too? The wife has no interest so I figure maybe some Miata buddies would want to go.
As long as the tickets are reasonable
Yep but it is an epic concert so I'd pay more than to see a run of the mill band that's currently playing. Don't know cost yet. Can't find them for sale yet. Nothing on Ticket Master's website.Quote:

Pass. I thought by the poll you said Pink Floyd, not Roger Waters. I'm more of a Gilmore fan and Dark Side of the Moon (engineered by Alan Parsons) than a Waters fan and The Wall.
By the way, which one's Pink?
I'd be up for it. I saw Floyd when they came through here on the Division Bell tour, so I got a nice taste of the Gilmour-flavored catalog. I'm curious to see how a Waters show stacks up against a Floyd show. Besides, I've always been a fan of The Wall.
I'd love to go, but im sure tickets are going to be crack smoking expensive. I just can't justify spending that much on a concert as much as I would love to be there.
Last year my wife and I saw U2 at Jerryworld, I paid $65 each for the cheapest seats I could find at the time, and we had muscle our way down to the party deck to even get decent sound. It was good to finally say i've been to a U2 show though, and it was worth the $130.
When the Police were in town a few years back I was all about it, until they announced the ticket price. I passed on the $300 apiece Paul McCartney tickets I was offered last year as well. I'd rather buy another gun for that much.
I know Jack, (RudeDog) is a huge Pink Floyd fan.
I went to the Division Bell tour too. Was best show I ever went to but I can count on one hand how many big concerts I've attended.
Well, I've seen the Floyd four times and wish more than that.
I also saw Roger Waters on his "Radio Kaos" tour and the show was wonderful.
I still blame Waters for the bulk of Floyd's problems but if the tickets are resonable I will go as I always do when any of them are touring solo or as a reformed group.
David Gilmore's solo albums are excellent.
BTW, if you area a registered fan on the PinkFloydOnLine.com you will be notified of advance ticket sales. I am to be notofied of pre sales in Dallas, Houston, St Louis, and Kansasa City.
Shine on.
There's a "David Gilmour live in Gdansk" concert on cable (can't recall the channel) that's pretty damn good. Have watched it a few times...
ROFL... another Division Bell attendee here. It was a decent show, but it didn't change my world. I guess I prefer smaller shows in smaller venues - seeing the Black Crowes at Bronco Bowl and Nine Inch Nails at Arcadia (RIP) were two of the best shows I ever saw.
I'm a fan of The Wall, and I might be interested in this, but like everyone else it's going to depend on how outrageous the ticket prices are.
Although a concert would be cool, I'd rather see Nick Mason racing one of his vintage track cars.
Hopefully Ticketmaster doesn't sell the tickets, I do my best not to give them any business (it's easier in Austin).

In all the years I've known you, I can only think of one concert we've gone to, Cheryl Crow, for my birthday. There have been quite a few festivals...but no concerts I can recall.
Looks like tickets go on sale May 10th. I will post pre-sale info if i get any.

Pre sale for fans signe up starts May 05, 06, 08, and 09 for Dallas, Houston, St, Louis, and KC.
Looks like Amex card members get to buy on May 3rd. I'm not. Anyone want to buy tickets on May 3rd? I can pay for my ticket now.
Well, I was not selected for pre sale in Dallas, KC, or St. Louis but was for the Houston show.
Bummer.
I saw Roger Waters back ~2000 when I lived in Florida. The music was phenomenal. The visuals, though... Pretty disappointed after hearing stories about the Pink Floyd concerts "back in the day". All Roger Waters had was a horrible slide show behind the stage. Maybe my expectations were too high (no pun intended) in that regard?
I still remember seeing what appeared to be my high school history teacher from back in Texas wearing a white oxford shirt and tie with a tie-dyed t-shirt over top.
I got the option to buy 2 tickets for Dallas early from Gilmore's website. $440.00 for the pair. ::Shocked: ::BS::
