Post by: cotis on November 01, 2011, 08:47:40 PM July 1st = Fenway Park (heard from a friend)
July 6th = Yankee Stadium (heard from a friend) Take it with a grain of salt they are just trying to finalize the the details for making it work with Fenway and Yankee Stadium. Was tipped off about this about 2 months ago with those exact dates for NYC/Boston so guess it's just a matter of time! Title: Re: The Wall Returns To North America In 2012! Post by: Chief on November 02, 2011, 01:17:57 AM Amazing!! this was the most epic live production / concert i have ever seen!!!! if you missed it before do not miss it again!!!
Title: Re: The Wall Returns To North America In 2012! Post by: WAR41 on November 07, 2011, 10:11:42 PM agreed, show was incredible. I saw one of the MSG shows last year and it was absolutely amazing. I am going to be out of town 4th of July weekend next year so unfortunately I will be missing this.
I strongly recommend this, although I am curious to see how it would look outside. I don't think I would like it as much, but who knows! Title: Re: The Wall Returns To North America In 2012!

For those who have seen it, what exactly is it all about? Is it based on the movie, is it him playing the soundtrack, ...both? Title: Re: The Wall Returns To North America In 2012!

All I can stay is just go and you wont regret it! I had a few too many of the "Run Like Hell" jack & coke deal. :hihi: Missed a few songs cause of that. :( Not going to make the same mistake next year. : ok: Title: Re: The Wall Returns To North America In 2012!

Post by: Trist805 on November 16, 2011, 08:58:01 PM I saw it last December at Honda Center in Anaheim. It was spectacular. Been listening to The Wall since I was about 3. As an adult, the songs have taken on a much deeper meaning. I would almost go again, but I feel like I already experienced it. Me and my friends would always watch the movie The Wall, and analyze it. Seeing it live also made me appreciate certain songs more... like the last few songs on Disk 1.

My favs on the album have always been those obscure ones, and you're right..getting older does intensify the meanings Nobody's Home in particular Title: Re: The Wall Returns To North America In 2012! Post by: overmatik on November 24, 2011, 07:53:59 AM I wonder what the 1980 Roger Waters, who refused 1 million dollars to play the JFK Stadium, would think of the 2011 Roger Waters... ???
"Chris Salewicz: But I heard that the rest of the Floyd wanted to do The Wall tour in stadiums. And that was one of the reasons you ultimately knocked the Pink Floyd on the head... Roger Waters: Yes, in 1980 when we finished in New York, Larry Maggid, a Philadelphia promoter - I remember him promoting us there at The Electric Factory when we were supporting Savoy Brown - offered us a guaranteed million dollars a show plus expenses to go and do two dates at JFK Stadium with The Wall. To truck straight from New York, where we'd been playing Nassau Colosseum, to Philadelphia. And (laughs) I wouldn't do it. I had to go through the whole story with the other members. I said, "You've all read my explanations of what The Wall is about. It's three years since we did that last stadium and I saw then that I would never do one again. And The Wall is entirely sparked off by how awful that was and how I didn't feel that the public or the band or anyone got anything out of it that was worthwhile. And that's why we've produced this show strictly for arenas where everyone does get something out of it that is worthwhile. Blah-blah-blah. And, I ain't fuckin' going!" So there was alot of talk about wether Andy Bown could sing my part. Oh, you may laugh - this is what's happening now, isn't it? And in the end they bottled out. They didn't have the balls to go through with it at that point."

To each their own >:( But I like to think of it more as a vision that was realized, rather than a spectacle Title: Re: The Wall Returns To North America In 2012! Post by: daveh on April 20, 2012, 05:31:00 AM I saw this show in Manchester last year and would definitey go again, an amazing show, never seen anything like it. Trust me, even if you are not a massive Floyd fan you will still love this show. It was quite expensive and we didn't have great seats but that didn't matter. I think it's one of those shows that no matter where you are sat, you will still have a great time.

Saw it at Fenway Park last night. Wasn't sure what to expect as far as the show or sound quality at a ballpark, but I was pretty damn impressed on both fronts. Definitely recommend checking it out if you can score tickets. They aren't exactly giving them away, though.. |
