...with a number of newly written tracks for an upcoming album.

Did not see another tour coming. Certainly did not see another album coming.

Lots of celebrities have their political views. Not many seem to stand as strongly behind them as Roger. Keep rockin' man.

And I've said before, NO ARTIST - not U2, not my beloved Kiss, knows how to stage a full-on spectacle like Roger Waters.   I don't agree with his politics, almost at all, but that staging makes all that basically moot.

He is playing a weeknight at a venue that I can walk to from my office.  Hmm...

Go for it, Bosk!

I'd love an European leg of this. But what I'd love even more would be a new album.

Is that the new King's place? Hopefully it will be better for live events then the Echo Arena

i had never seen Roger Waters until his set at Desert Trip last weekend, one of the most incredible concert experiences of my life, easily the highlight of the weekend.  Saw Gilmour earlier this year at MSG, and while he'll always be my favorite floyd member, Waters was the better show, hope I can see him again in 2017  :metal

Pre-sale going on for the St. Louis show now.  $196 for the best seats...before TM rapes us with service charges.  Yeesh. 

Pass.

I think I spent $150ish on The Wall show and was very happy with my average seat. I would consider going up to $100 for this show for the same.

Hopefully(?) Trump will be long gone from the picture by then so Rog won't get off on any political tangents. Maybe even that whole Israel/Palestine issue will be resolved too!
