Roger would of not liked that idea especially what his ego was like back then and how bad tension was between them all while making TFC the trailers facing away from each other. That was breaking point for David that album he did not enjoy it all
The circle of Winnebagos with the doors facing outward was on the original
Wall tour. Roger was also arriving at the shows separately via helicopter, because that money wasn't going to burn itself. And yet, they stuck it out and worked together regularly for two more years! A limited tour with other musicians doing most of the work doesn't seem like anything they couldn't handle.

The Final Cut could've saved it from relative obscurity, or at least split the difference with
Pros and Cons so they'd both sell a couple million copies. Even now (or maybe twenty years ago), it could make for an interesting show. I'd really like to hear Gilmour sing the high parts on "Fletcher Memorial Home" and "The Final Cut", because he'd nail it.
