Excellent concert tonight. Really. What more can be said of Roger Waters’ tour that hasn’t already been said in review after review. If you can get tickets, I wholeheartedly recommend you go see the show. In a word: Perfect. Perhaps my only gripes, if any really, would have to be the woeful lack of his solo music in the sets (3 sets of powerful stuff, though, so who's bitchin'), & what really has just become my own personal exhaustion with certain aspects of audience interaction ~~ drunk fcks who think I spent 400 dollars to watch them piss themselves and demand attention with one sort of absurdity or another…& the whole sit down stand up sit down thing. When Roger Waters sat down to play a couple, it should have been a sign to take a chair and watch the show, yada-yada. Not that I couldn’t have stood on my feet for several more hours of his repertoire gladly
…but the whole sheeple routine has grown tiresome for me. I may have had my fill of big concerts for a while. Passed the torch to my [very soon to be] 16 year old [percussionist] son tonight. So be it, bless his deep-welled rock & roll soul. For a review of a recent Roger Waters concert…so you can get a gist of what the band’s layin’ down, here’s a link:

Again, this is a concert, a living legend and a gift to humanity that you probably wouldn’t kick yourself in the ace for going to see.
