Re: Newport Folk Festival
So here's my review. We had an Awesome time. Son & I. Little stinker tells me how he Never listens to Floyd & there he is singing along to Brain damage/eclipse! Anywoo yes Roger sounded really good. I know someone on here mentioned how his voice seems to have magically made a comeback! Don't know what he did but everyone standing around me agreed! I started freakin when he did Mother & was dancing around like a maniac. Didn't really expect Roger to do much PF since Amazed to Death was same day as festival. The rumor I had been fed was that former member(s) of PF were going to show up as a tremendous surprise. Not! I still didn't let that disappoint me. The Mary Jane smell was so thick where I was I stayed put hoping for a contact buzz! Lol. The crowd was wonderful. No rude drunks & no pushing & shoving like I'm used to at GA shows. I'm a big youtuber but didn't even break out my camera/recorder. Just wanted to enjoy. And that I did! Truth be told the only Roger song I like is AtD. I was more than happy to hear it live and sang right along. I was very sad when it was over I was disappointed how short of a time he was on stage & that there was no encore. I expressed my disappointment to another festival goer at our hotel & he said that's the way the festival works. When I expressed my disappointment about the surprise guest not being Gilmour (Duh what was I thinking anyway) he said he was happy it Was My Morning Jacket & not DG. Guess he's not into David or Nick. So that was my time at Newport Folk Festival. Going back next year for sure!

Ah, but which God? Judging from his statements, I'd say Allah.Flathead wrote:Waters is a God.

''Crystal Clear'' sounds like a boring Wall filler.
The second song is more original (at least for Waters) but vocals are lacking greatly.

Re: Newport Folk Festival
I thought he was excellent. Was great to see him do Forever Young too, though odd initially because I'm sure Dylan freely encourages folk to perform in Israel, unlike Roger!
He sounded great anyway.

Re: Newport Folk Festival
Just watched the clip. I was as pleasantly surprised as to his voice returning to previous form as others have been. It's true that it's a bit of a return to the style of The Final Cut, but I feel not the least disappointed by that. Good piano playing by Rog. Not complex, but well played. Clearly he's been putting in some practice on the piano, and I wonder if he's had some sort of therapy/training for his voice.
Both, if true, would be good indicators that he's planning to do something in the near future. Otherwise, we're likely to end up in a situation where Dave is the (relatively) prolific one, and Rog sits around for decades not releasing anything

Re: Newport Folk Festival
Well it does looks as though he's getting ready to do something.
There's a new song (A great song at that)
His vocals have improved dramatically.
Surprisingly good piano skills.
Multiple mentions of a world tour commencing next year in some pieces of media.
Maybe, just maybe, a new album is getting nearer.

What will come first? A new Waters album, or his telegram from the Queen/King.UsNotThem wrote:Well it does looks as though he's getting ready to do something.
