Roger Waters 'Us + Them' Tour 2017

Much obliged. I figured as much. Can't say I'm too fussed about Ashcroft or Seasick Steve (and seeing Squeeze wouldn't be worth sitting through them either), so might wait until it cools down before heading over.

Oh, found this elsewhere, looks like we can see Squeeze after all!

 

Damn! My missus wants to see Squeeze but they are on the other stage only 50 mins before Rog comes on the main stage!

Sorry babe....

 

The solution to your problem is simple, but I'm not sure you want to hear it:
Split up for the duration.

 

When the beach scene screen film turns red. Actual stage time, no idea.

 

Apologies if discussed already but, is there any talk of a DVD release of the current tour?

 

Yes, the recent four dates in Amsterdam were all filmed for an upcoming DVD release. No idea when that will happen though. There are strong suggestions that this tour will be back in the US next year for stadium dates so it could be a while.

 

Well that was jolly good. Had a nice time, and enjoyed the production.

Grumble: I don’t understand why Pink Floyd and their offshoots attract so many blokes with their t-shirts off who bellow their way through every song like it was ‘Three Lions’.

 

Well at least nobody in Liverpool had removed their top, so I should be grateful for small mercies...

 

I saw Roger 3x... Dark Side tour twice, and The Wall.
I'd HIGHLY recommend going! I would love to see David Gilmour, but the closest he came was Chicago.

 

The Perth audience all kept their cardigans and blouses on, which was probably a good thing as i don't think it would have been a pretty sight.

 

Great show last night. Really enjoyed it. No shirts off round me. Some bellowing but that's fine.

Saw Squeeze Xfilian. Conveniently finished just before Waters started. Didn't bother with other acts.

Arrived later than expected, so caught some of Squeeze - ‘Take Me I’m Yours’, ‘Tempted’, ‘Cool For Cats’ and ‘Black Coffee In Bed’ which is enough.

Interestingly, Deaf School are doing four sets today and four sets tomorrow at Hampton Court - not sure if Ian Richie will be with them (presumably not today as Rog is playing Birmingham tonight).

Just enjoyed reliving Dogs again; the performance and the visuals really are top drawer, lovely to see it all working so well in the open air/daylight.

 

I'm lucky to add to my fantastic Roger Waters experiences
Pics from Hyde Park below

 

Excellent pics thanks for posting. I didn't take many cos I knew someone would do it better.

 

Wow, great photos raphph. Went to Hyde Park on Friday and Birmingham yesterday. Both sublime shows helped by enthusiastic crowds at both. Not much more to add about this show to what I said before but I do love to hear the songs from ITTLWRW performed live. They fit into the show along the classic songs really well. Deja Vu in particular is a great song. Overall, a huge thumbs up.

 

Agree his performance and show at Birmingham was excellent, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Birmingham last night and one of the best concerts I’ve been to. The sound was the best I’ve experienced at any gig and the band played the Floyd classics with such passion and balls. A great night.

 

On the Friday, I felt a bit sorry for the poor girl in the group of kids who took off her hood waaaay too early, just as the camera beamed her confused face onto the jumbotron screens.

 

Haha yes ! As Roger says they couldn’t rehearse first ! Was a funny moment !

 

Went to Hyde Park. Stunning show. Best sound at any show I have ever been to.

 

For those of you who went to Hyde Park and were stunned by the sound - an interesting article on how that was achieved:

Curious to hear about the drunks in the UK - I went to the second Amsterdam night, (knowing it was almost all lip synched), and it during the songs, it was really, really quiet, even Roger pointed it out in his speech. Having said that, the only point where I was concerned about the safety of my ears was at the standing ovation at the end of the show, the applause was so loud. Amazing show, even with the lip synching.
