Final Cut Tour

Post by quicksilver »

Is it true that Pink Floyd had tentative plans to tour "The Final Cut" but were later scrapped ?

If so, I wonder what the set list and staging would have looked like. My guess is that it would probably be similar to AMLOR tour to some degree.

It is said Dave was interesting in touring with The Final Cut, but it was Roger who refused. It could have been a great tour indeed.

I think it might have been a bit like Rog's Pros and Cons tour but bigger! First set would be a bunch of Floyd classics, would be interesting to see what they would have chosen here perhaps a similar selection to Rogs PACOHH but closer to the original arrangements, the second would be The Final Cut naturally, and of course the encore which Ive a feeling Run Like might not have appeared in, perhaps Brain Damage / Eclipse might have made it to the encore intead alongside Comfortably Numb. This could be an intersting topic, come on folks whats your fantasy Final Cut Tour?

Ha Ha Charade you are, April fool. drafsac, good one!

Seriously though, a Final Cut set list would be fun. It might be something like presenting the Final Cut as a whole, with older tunes based more on Roger's PACOH and KAOS tours (i.e. In the flesh, have a cigar, etc.) - which were really good tours, and the arrangements are quite good...
