yes the tickets are expensive, but think that in 1994 PF's tickets weren't higher then 60$. Roger's 200-400$, and PF's tour was grand, 2 million dollars a day too keep it running, Roger must perform the Wall like in 1990 or what?

I think it is good that he brought "Sheep" and "Have A Cigar" back, and some of the more obscure "Wall" tracks back. There are very few pre-"Dark Side" tracks that I can imagine him resurrecting, perhaps because they don't seem to fit with his current vision of what rock and roll should be all about.

I would love to hear him rip through "The Nile Song" or the main/dramatic themes from "More", but I would not put money on it. AS it is, I will be pleased if he keeps "Set The Controls" in the set 'til he reaches NZ.

Wouldn't it be great if he brought out a Syd song as a dedication, the way David did? My personal choice for that would be either "Dark Globe" (that might suit his voice) done with just an acoustic guitar, or full band renditions of "Vegetable Man" and "Astronomy Dominee".

I wish we could get an Amused to Death tour. I think it's a sin that his best album never really toured, and the stuff from In the Flesh Live is incredible. Would love to hear the whole thing live.

I agree that Pigs should be brought back, but I don't think that's in his register anymore, sadly. I think that some other tracks from the Wall should be brought in, maybe go from Mother to Goodbye Blue Sky, Empty Spaces/What Shall We Do Now? and then Another Brick in the Wall, pt. 3. He HAS to keep Set the Controls, as it is insane live.

What I demand though, is the Gunners Dream throughout the entire set, Paranoid Eyes, Fletcher Memorial Home, Southampton Dock, the Final Cut. Why doesn't he just do a proper Final Cut tour? WE WANT FINAL CUT! WE WANT FINAL CUT! WE WANT FINAL CUT! :)

Tour dates

Post by u2pasi »

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere but I haven't posted here before.. anyway, I don't get it. Usually these fan sites ( and this is a good one) are really up to date what's happening regarding touring etc.

Now I haven't seen any talk about the Euro dates for 2007 yet the tickets for the April concerts at least here in Scandinavia are available already tomorrow 1st of November ?.. Roger Waters, Globe Arena Stockholm 27.4.2007

Due to my current circumstances, I cannot afford to fly to the mainland and see Roger in concert.

What a dissapointed, sad, crying wreck I am. :cry:

I have just added the dates over at the encyclopedia, is it wrong that I said people should join the forum for more details and discussion?
