OMG, Roger Waters at Live Earth

[lala_rawraw]

The Wall, Money... and the flying pig I remember from the last Pink Floyd concert I went to which was also their last concert. Wowowowowowowo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

1. I see a pig!!!

:P

[lala_rawraw]

6. A Pig? Its THE pig...

are you under 35? wow, i feel old. :)

I was just blogging at my place that between Water, the Police all we need for me to be rushed to the ER would be for the Doors and Depeche Mode to show up. All of my neighbors are hosting house parties and doors/windows open, we are all watching this together, running back and forth. But when Waters came on, I actually dropped to the floor. :D

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

34. I'm not under 35, actually.

[lala_rawraw]

37. :D

[Cooley Hurd]

2. Is that Robert Fripp behind him (in tie & glasses)?

This is TOTALLY cool!!!:bounce:

[lala_rawraw]

9. i could not tell...

i was really on the floor, looking at the telly above me and all i could see was Piggy and Waters... wow

[Cooley Hurd]

14. It was really THAT gripping, wasn't it?

:hug:

I'm pretty speechless, too...:O

[lala_rawraw]

16. Yeah and now flipping between the Police and Duran Duran

Girls on film and SOS... wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[sellitman]

3. Did you see the Pig?

It said SOS

(Save our Sausage)

I laughed my butt off!

Great music.

[lala_rawraw]

10. Yeah

When they were live, they released several of them into the crowd.

[dogindia]

4. God, Hey teacher leave those kids alone.

[Tesla]

5. Hey preacher leave our kids alone!!

Come back for an encore!

[lala_rawraw]

22. "Dark Cynicism in the Classroom"

:D

[jimshoes]

7. Awesome

Brought back a lot of memories.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

8. He just finished on Bravo, and I'm in hog heaven!!!!! Sitting here with a huge grin on

my face. :D

[Cooley Hurd]

12. I'm winded from dancing around my living room...

*cough*
*reaches for cane*

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

30. I did some dancing and tried to sing along. Boy am I out of practice! Do you have another

cane???

[lala_rawraw]

36. yeah, i do

and for a 35 year old, that is no joke

[lala_rawraw]

13. I started crying

I was asked to interview him once and I could not do it. I could not compose myself and I knew that well enough to decline the kind offer. I simply would have made an arse of myself.

edit, forgot a verb

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

27. I can understand. I'm usually pretty good with celebs, but I think in this case

I would be a big mushy puddle.

11. The Pig...Soldier Field, Summer 1977

That was from the Animals album (still one of my faves)...what a great concert...Waters, Mason & Gilmour turning it loose. One day, I still hope Waters & Gilmour settle their feuding...it'd be great to see the two of them play again.

[NoodleyAppendage]

15. Animals album recreated in Children of Men. King Crimson song just prior.

There's a great recreation of the Animals album cover in the movie Children of Men. Also, one of the best King Crimson song lead-ins to the scenario. Not enough King Crimson in the movies, I say!

[Cooley Hurd]

17. I'm hoping for the ultimate KC reunion - EVERYONE who ever played with them...

...in one big-ass onstage JAM!:thumbsup:

[lala_rawraw]

19. I think

I would have to find the nearest ER if I saw Waters and Gilmour together again. My god, it is a world wide concert... you watching Duran Duran?

Some others I was hoping for: http://www.atlargely.com/2007/07/happy-live-eart.html

[Cooley Hurd]

21. I saw it earlier - They nailed "Planet Earth" like they recorded it yesterday!

[lala_rawraw]

24. I started watching early today when China was

still showcasing opera, amazing.

[johnaries]

40. I'm about 30 miles from Adrian Belew's house,

you want me to ask him?

[Cooley Hurd]

44. You're up near Lake Geneva?

Years ago, I flew my C-172 up there to a restaurant on Lake Geneva (total brainfart because I can't remember the name of the place now) and specifically (naively) looked up his name in the phone book to see if he wanted to have lunch w/ my wife and myself. Believe it or not, there was an "A. Belew" in the phone book!!!! Natch, I called the # and whomever answered the phone said, when I asked for Adrian, "he's not here.":wow:

I did get the chance to shake his hand after a solo concert (promoting Mr Music Head) in Atlanta in 1989, but I was utterly speechless.

[johnaries]

48. He lives in Mt. Juliet, right outside Nashville.

Sometimes he plays solo at the Exit/In. I mean really solo, just him with his guitars and dobro.

[Cooley Hurd]

49. Back in 1991, he was living on Lake Geneva, WI...

His solo show MUST be excellent - everything he does is!;)

[johnaries]

51. Ah, He moved to the Nashville area in 1994.

Yes, everything he does is simply amazing. Exit/In is more of the old intimate "coffee shop" type venue, so he could actually talk with the audience and answer questions. Most of the show he would just play requests. My ex was a guitar player but had never heard of Adrian until I took her to the Exit/In. During the CD signing session afterwards she told him "I was properly amazed!" She was a Belew fan from then on.

I haven't heard his new band, but from the elephantblog comments it sounds even better than The Bears! I missed him playing with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones (my other favorite live artists!) in Atlanta. That must have been an intense, amazing concert. Bela also lives here in Nashville. Nashville isn't just Country, despite it's rep.

You know Adrian was discovered by Frank Zappa here in Nashville, right? He was playing with a local bandcalled Sweetheart. I got to see them perform many times, but unfortunately that was post-Belew.

[lala_rawraw]

18. Dark Side of the Moon for me is it!!!

Singing Us and Them pretty much did it for my crying fit. Wow... Roger Waters, I had no idea and I had the full line up. It was one hell of a brilliant surprise.

As for movies, we need the entire Dark Side of the Moon in art and film.

[NoodleyAppendage]

20. "we need the entire Dark Side of the Moon in art and film." We have that already.

Simultaneous start of Wizard of Oz and the album works quite nicely...or at least it seemed that way after someone was kind to me.

J

[lala_rawraw]

23. Well, Dark City is a good start

[ClassWarfare2008]

28. 2 years ago, they said the feuding was pretty much over

....but now the problem is that Gilmour doesn't want to do a big huge tour at his age, which is why he's not even doing psuedo-Floyd anymore.

My response to that, naturally was... "You ain't any older than Keith Richards, goddamn it. Get out there!"

[KharmaTrain]

31. Thanks For The Update

Gilmour tried to recreate Floyd with Division Bell...a good album, but without Waters it lacked the bite.

I guess asking for a reunited Floyd would be quite a concert...they never did anything half-assed. A good friend saw the original Wall concerts at Nassau and said at the time "there's no way they can ever top this". He was right.

Cheers...

[lala_rawraw]

38. The Division Bell was not all that bad...

but Waters and frankly Syd B were always what was the core of Pink Floyd, before they knew who they were ... they grew up with Gilmour-Wright-Waters trio... but ever since the dust up... I side on the Waters end... he wrote the majority of my favorite songs.

25. ... And when your hand is on your heart

You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying 'Keep on digging'
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry ...........................

[lala_rawraw]

[Swamp Rat]

32. Thanks!!

:hi: My DNA seeks out Pink Floyd threads. :D

41. LMFAO!!!

I have a playlist rolling now with Time, the Wall, and for some reason I decided to throw in Sneaker Pimps. I am just laying here smiling at how a full day off from terra has seemed like an eternity spent in heaven:)

[Swamp Rat]

43. I read your articles often.

Excellent work! :applause:

If anyone around here needs a break is YOU! :hug:

[lala_rawraw]

45. thanks:)

[IChing]

29. Kicked my ass tonight, they always had the best electonic recordings.

They payed attentions to channels early...


We don't need no thought control

[Swamp Rat]

33. Back when Dark Side came out,

my uncle transferred the recording from vinyl to reel to reel and looped it. :smoke:

t'was to coolest thing since oyester po-boys and alligator andouille sausages. :9

[IChing]

35. My friend, my brother had a MacIntosh amp and played it on

a 32 track tape. I later worked on Christopher Cross studio in Austin as a carpenter.

Dude......sounds and smells are what my dog lives with.

[lala_rawraw]

39. this has got to be a duzy for next Friday

[Lucinda]

42. I wish he would have done something from Amused to Death

LOVE Roger.

[lala_rawraw]

46. Live Trent Reznor and Roger Waters... my dream

Catching the whole thing on Sundance now.
