I saw them on The Wall Tour. Didn't know any songs except Another Brick Part 2, and it was fantastic. I then saw them in 89/94 without Roger Waters, and they were very good, but Waters is the backbone of Floyd and it's like Hugh not being in the IV.

I also saw Roger Waters in 1985 on the Pros and Cons Tour at Hammersmith Odeon and again at Earls Court.

It was fantastic, but I would always prefer PF with RW.

Status Quo around 1980 time. Saw them in 82/84 but I liked the 1970's stuff

Darn you for that Hammersmith lol..
Must admit to being as daft on the Floyd In the 70s as I am about the boys ...genius is a word banded around and used far too often .....but in Rogers case its justified ...i had the chance to see them at earls court '94 but I couldn't get enough time off bloody work ...he's taking the wall on tour again isn't he doing Wembley stadium which defeats the point of "the wall" but its his to do what he wants with i suppose ..

Loads, just as a matter of being born at the wrong time. I would have loved to have seen Ultravox! (with John Foxx) around the time of 'Ha! Ha Ha!' or 'Systems Of Romance'.

He is a bit of a genius. I do especially love his own Final PF album, The Final Cut.

I wanted to see him do the Wall, but not at those prices!!! I know it will be fantastic, but it's just a tad too much. :(
