shame its a one night only thing I was at Steven Wilson gig last night at Royal Albert Hall so was forced to miss it

That bit where he told the story about the war veteran telling him his dad would be proud of him, then straight into vera and bring the boys back home with the footage of war vets returning to their children....there wasnt a dry eye in the house where I was.

 

As for roger, it seems he's working on a new project

 

Mr. Waters will next return to a new album he has been writing, under the working title “Lay Down Jerusalem.” It’s the story, he said, of a boy who has nightmares and asks his grandfather, “Why are they killing the children?”

“The grandfather promises that they will find out the answer to that question, and so they go looking,” Mr. Waters said. “And, of course, they don’t find that answer because it’s too difficult.”

Mr. Waters, who describes himself as a “radical atheist,” quoted a song:

If I had been God I would not have chosen anyone

I would have laid an even hand on all my children, every one 

I would have been content to forgo Ramadan and Lent

Time better spent in the company of friends

Breaking bread and mending nets.

The project took shape as a radio play. Mr. Waters now hopes to recast it as an album of songs and then an arena show: “Maybe using the new music and some of my old music, and throwing it together to make one last rock show that I might go out with,” he said. “A swan song.”

ooo can't wait

wow I'm really surprised at that. Can you remember what they were? Presumably one was in france, one spain? I thought one of the crowd looked middle eastern? or maybe istanbul? And I was sure one of the crowds were eastern european.

 

It really did feel like it was more than just 3 locations!

 

they did come up fast but I think one was in Canada { may have been Quebec }  - one was in Brazil and the other was somewhere else { may have been somewhere in Latin America but I cant be sure on that one }

 

I was expecting them to show clips from everywhere as I know they had film units at the concerts I was at.

 Filmed by as many as ten cameramen, the concert footage was filmed at three concerts across two continents.

 

parts were filmed in 4K

 

we will soon get access to all the credits -

in a rush so cant check - this appears to be the film we saw last night

 

Roger Waters, co-founder and principal songwriter of Pink Floyd, fuses the epic and the personal in Roger Waters The Wall, a concert film that goes well beyond the stage. Based on the groundbreaking concept album, Roger Waters The Wall could be called a concept film: it’ s a state-of-the-art show that dazzles the senses, combined with an intensely personal road trip that deals with the loss Roger has felt throughout his life due to war.

 

title will be released on November 16 2015  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roger-Waters-Special-Digipack-Blu-ray/dp/B015Y1BPE4/ref=sr_1_2?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1443624746&sr=1-2&keywords=Roger+Waters+The+Wall+-+Special+Edition

Thought the film was great last night.  Some really nice moments in it.

I thought I hadn't imagined it:

He’s in the process of writing an autobiography, played at the Newport Folk Festival last week, and plans to go on another world tour next year.

This remains my favourite performance of CN.  Astonishing line up.  Van's voice really lifts it plus members of The Band and great guitar from Snowy White.

I was there - two things stand out

{ 1 } they dug up No man's land - cant recall how many mines they found  - about eighty { or close } but that made it incredibly dusty - it covered my friends and I in dust.

{ 2 } I went ballistic at the concert bar when I found out it was only ' near beer ' - I don't drink much but with the dust I was forced to drink the stuff - they { who ever they are } had imposed a no alcohol restriction and they were not allowing any drink to be brought in as we were searched when we entered.

it was a very hot day and really we could have done with a drink.

things got better when they let in people who did not have a ticket just as the main concert started because they were allowed to bring in drink.

I had two mates with me from Holland who are able to speak German so we were able to buy some drink from the crowd.

it was a experience and a half and we ended up at a great party after it in some warehouse in east Berlin.

well worth the hassle to get there.

[grumpyhack]

I'd be very happy to see Floyd back, in whatever variation and even Aussie Floyd or Brit Floyd as they've got such a great body of work.

[GlastoSimon]

Gilmour doc on BBC Two tonight, iPlayer too presumably. He's coming across as a relatively dull man... spose he is an old man now...

Lyricists are always more interesting than instrumentalists. Should have interviewed his wife instead

[Justiceforcedave]

What are the chances of a Waters headline set next year?

That ancient Roman venue in Croatia (I think) looked fucking amazing though. What a setting.

[russycarps]

I didn't see the whole program, was it here? Verona if so. I almost saw Leonard cohen there, but in the end couldn't afford it. Looks like the greatest venue on earth

She's had a really interesting life too. Was even homeless for a while I believe

The Arena Pula in Croatia apparently. Just looked it up. Dunno how to post the link.

Although they look pretty similar.

Fuck. Imagine seeing Leonard Cohen THERE!!! God, I'd cream myself. He was fucking amazing at Glasto. And even in the sterile O2, but there...jesus. The added bonus being ancient Rome is partly my old field of study and still an obsession.

Just googled that Croatia one, looks awesome! Never heard of it before. 

Yeah we need to make sure we see a gig at a venue like these one day! Hearing pink Floyd songs there would be wondrous. Reminds me of the pink Floyd pompeii album.  Well worth checking out if you haven't already!

I can't NOT see a decent gig at a venue like that at least once in my lifetime.

I have the Pompeii gig on video! Need to upgrade to DVD!

 

I'm off to noninate Cohen on the headliners thread and get shot down. 2010 (?) was wonderous. And his stock is still high. That field was in awe.

[Nicklord]

I was at Gilmour's Pula show. You can't believe how acoustic and how amazing the whole experience was.
