Roger Waters takes "The Wall" back on the road.

Who's going? I'll travel as far as necessary.

It's been 30 years since Pink Floyd released 'The Wall' and founding member Roger Waters has performed it 31 times since then. He's looking to more than double that number this year as he celebrates the album's big anniversary by launching a massive North American tour, during which he'll perform 'The Wall' in its entirety, backed by a full band and state-of-the-art production that's suitable for, well, Pink Floyd.

I'm torn. On one hand - it's The Wall, and I feel I can't miss it.. On the other hand, I saw it live in Berlin, and watching it in a small venue like the Pepsi Center here in Denver just wont compare.

Hellishly expensive too, I'm sure. But then again, no Cyndi Lauper, which is always a plus.

I signed up on the website to be informed when ticket pre-sale starts. I'll need 4 tickets.

I can't wait for this, but I hope tickets aren't $1k each for nosebleeds. He could easily get that too, which is the worst part. I will have graduated by then, so hello graduation present!

I'd certainly love to see that. Looking for the tour schedule...

Well I hope they don't sell for that much. Last year I saw Roger Waters do stuff from Animals and DSOTM, among a few other songs. It was great and I know the tickets didn't cost anywhere near that much.

What a shame that it will be a North American tour only!
With Roger Waters being British that is...

I'll pass this time. Saw 'The Wall' at Nassau Coliseum in February 1980. Ticket was $15 (which was the highest concert ticket price I had ever paid). Pretty good show from what I remember....

I was -12 y.o. unfortunately... I hope to see this in St. Paul, but I'm going to be on as tight (if not tighter) budget as anyone, new student and all.

At first I thought this would be something worth attending....then I saw the ticket prices.  Absolutely ridiculous.   I refuse to pay over $50 for ANY concert.

Your loss.

 

Whatever the asking price is it'll be worth it.

Yeah, I'd have paid $199 for the original tour.  Just Waters, nah, and I'm generally interested in checking out the new old tours.  Pink Floyd without Gilmour is like the Police without Sting or the Grateful Dead without Jerry.
