Would You Rather See a Roger Waters or David Gilmour Led Pink Floyd Concert?

I don't know. Man this is hard.

Post 1985, Pink Floyd was led by David Gilmour and Mason. Waters had left the band and successfully sued for rights to The Wall concept album and the famous inflatable pig.

Waters continued to tour with a new band performing The Wall in its entirety as well as solo material. In 1990, Waters staged one of the largest most elaborate concerts in history at the Berlin Wall.

The rest of Pink Floyd, led by David Gilmour, Mason, and Wright, retained the band name and continued to make new albums (A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell). The latter album, the Division Bell (1994), would be their last studio album and critically one of their best.

The question is, if both groups were still touring and you could only see one group...which concert would you see? Would you see Roger Waters perform The Wall onstage, or would you rather see a David Gilmour led Pink Floyd perform everything else (Have a Cigar, Welcome to the Machine, Dark Side of the Moon, etc., etc., etc.?

I don't know. Both would be incredible. I'm at a loss....

Saw Roger Waters and he was a preachy self righteous douche hating on Bush more than he was playing.

frick the music board. Too slow. Plus, this isn't about the music...it's about the experience.

I agree. He's a douchebag...but an amazingly talented douchebag!

However, have you seen the P.U.L.S.E live concert by David Gilmour's Pink Floyd?

Tuff choice.

Saw Pink Floyd in B'ham at Legion Field back in 94 on their Division Bell tour. Once of the best concerts I've ever seen.

I had an opportunity to see them in 1994 and I passed believing that I'd get another opportunity.

Big mistake.

Saw Floyd in '94
Saw Waters in early 2000's and again in 2008.

The Floyd show was probably the best, but the second Waters show was fricking great also.

Gun to my head, and it's Floyd, but I frequently kick myself in the arse for not seeing Waters when he came here a year or two ago performing The Wall

Man, the more I think about it, the more I'd like to see The Wall onstage performed by its mastermind.

I'd rather see Gilmour, but I did see Waters perform The Wall last year here in Houston and it was AMAZING!!

Gilmour. His guitar skills haven't deteriorated as much as Waters' voice.
