Roger Waters vs. David Gilmour

I just spent over $800 on 5 concert tickets.

But it's Roger Waters doing dark side of the moon and it's row 14 floor seats.

Have I made a sound financial decision?

I think yes.


So I saw Pink Floyd back in 94 with David Gilmour heading up the group, and now I will see the Roger Waters show... who do you think will be better?

    Is this Roger with or without Pink Floyd?

    I'm a firm supporter of Roger Waters. The Final Cut is the finest Pink Floyd album ever recorded.

    I have no idea who or what that is.

    But that 800 dollars could've gone into your savings and made you money in 20 years.

    I'd rather watch John Waters perform it.

    guys I'm super pumped for this.

    I had to hold a poop super hard to get those tickets, and afterwards I crapped a 5 pound baby girl.

    What should I name her?

    I really can't think of a concert that would justify $160 a ticket for me. Maybe if Zeppelin got back together and were getting good reviews. Maybe.

    There aren't many bands that could get $160 from me either.

    But like how many opportunities are there going to be like this?

    Plus my dad fucking loves Pink Floyd, so it will be a nice thing for us to share.

    Well I'm not much of a Floyd fan but I really don't really see $160 as justified for anyone. I mean you are really looking at more like $180+ after parking and a couple of beers at any of the venues near me.

    I spent like $70 bucks to see them and they canceled due to Maynard having a sore throat, but he played the night before and the night after. And I didn't even get a refund. I was a very angry 8th grader. That was like 7 lawn mowings worth of money dammit.

    As talented as he is, Maynard is known for being a real dick. My sister got to hang out with System of a Down backstage once for a couple hours. She asked the lead singer Serj about working with Maynard and he didn't have anything nice to say about him personally. Conversation went like this:

    Sis: "So you worked with Maynard? What's he like?!"

    Serj: "He's...um...a very talented musician. Very talented"

    Sis: "So he's an asshole, huh."

    Serj: "Yeah pretty much."

    Yeah, although I imagine the case really may have been that someone other than him decided to cancel due to lack of sales, because I bought my ticket maybe 4 days before the show, and I was still lower bowl and like 14 rows up. It was Redbird Arena in Normal, Illinois if that gives you any better idea of how good those seats were (probably not considering this is East Bumblefuck, Egypt lol)

    So the hell what. You book the gig you should fucking play it. He's still getting paid. Canceling due to poor attendance at Bumfuck-Nowhere, Ill would be like canceling due to rain at Blossom here in Cleveland. It's fucking Cleveland, weather turns to shit at the drop of a hat. If you can't deal with it then don't fucking come here.

    You are truly wise, sir. The thing that really pisses me off about it is that I've been to free outdoor shows by local and indie bands and if it rains, snows, or whatever, they just break out some tarps and continue the rock, even if it is only for like 20 kids. Where did musicians get this idea that everything has to go their way. ('What I want is large bread...")

    Ok I would pay quite a bit for the Who. Not $160 but I can justify probably $90 or $100 to see Roger Daltry rock out. I'd be pissed if they didn't play "Pictures of Lily" though.

    I saw the Stones in Chicago back in 02 or 01, I can't remember now. Anyway, the tickets were awesome and something like $200 a seat. Fortunately, my ex-wife's aunt paid for the whole thing with her rich hubbies money.

    I am also seeing Roger Waters on this tour. The guitarist/vocalist they have replacing Gilmour is a guy called Dave K, and he is the shit. You've got nothing to worry about if you're scared the musicianship won't be up to the standard of Floyd's gigs.

    Seriously, it will be awesome.

    (In terms of "being an awesome human being" Gilmour beats Waters hands down but hey, who gives a shit)

    If Courtney Love charged $800 for a ticket to see her hang herself I would be tempted to pony up for that.
