LOL...Well, I was late to the party as far as seeing them in person, but when I reach for shows to listen to, it'll usually be anytime before '78.

He's a huge cuck but I appreciate the music he provided us with during his prime

I guess my collection isn't as elaborate as yours, but my go-to shows are Red Rocks '78, Halloween '71, 12/29/77 Winterland, London 9/74, Englishtown '77 (mostly for the version of "Miss Half-Step") and Buffalo & Cornell for consistency's sake...there are "better" individual songs per se, but those shows deliver from front-to-back IMO...

I don't have a singular favorite. You might as well ask me who my favorite child is, lol...

The top three for me are
1. Van Halen Diver Down Tour 1982 Hirsch Coliseum in Shreveport
2. AC/DC 1986 Who Made Who Tour Hirsch Coliseum in Shreveport
3. Pink Floyd 1987 or 1988 in Dallas

I was all set to see VH on the Diver Down tour, but my parents grounded me on some trumped-up charges, lol...I ended up not seeing them until '15, and I wished they played "The Full Bug", but I can't complain about the setlist overall...

The brown floating weed haze was thick and strong at the top of the coliseum that night.

I bet, lol...I took my then-9 year old daughter to see VH in '15, so I had to be on good behavior that night

Roger's mind is long gone my man.


I listened to an hour long interview with him on the WTF podcast a few months ago. He was sharp and articulate; hasn't lost a beat.

I'd heard that podcast episode when it first came out, and I agree. Maron even managed to get Roger to loosen up on occasion, which is probably no easy feat, heh...

Ive dropped shite tons of acid in my younger days and I've never had a flashback or any negative side effects from previous use. I haven't done it in about twenty years nor do I want to because I don't think I can handle it anymore.

I'm pleasantly surprised about how good this album is. The production is great and it sounds like all the era's of Floyd that he is showcasing on his current tour. I can hear The Wall, Animals, DSOTM, and WYWH in the songs.

He can still write good music and doesn't sound too bad either. Gilmour still sounds great but his solo stuff is boring or cheesy IMO.

He lives in his own little dream world where Donald Trump chases him around the tea table trying to capture his pea sandwiches ( with the crusts cut off of course) As much as I adore his songs, Roger is nuttier than squirrel turds.

Saw his show a few days ago and wow. I was blown away. All the hype I've heard about his shows was legit. It was easily one of the most well produced shows I've ever seen, and the sound was perfect. Roger sounds great for his age. I wasn't expecting Great Gig in the Sky, but it was amazing. This was easily one of the top 5 shows I've ever been to.

Spoilers for those that haven't seen it yet...






I was impressed with what they did with the Animals themed visuals in the 2nd setlist. Those pop up smokestacks and additional screens were very cool.
