So many good Floyd and Waters tracks to choose from mate, but Comfortably Numb Wish you were here and Another Brick In The Wall are my top 3 favourites. Although when I used to smoke da herb I think Grantchester meadows was right up there.Cheers.
It's a pity he and Dave won't work together.
SOYCD is probably my favourite Floyd track but saw Gilmour do it on his last tour and wasn't expecting Waters to do it. Bit disappointed the set list does not include Run Like Hell but that's another that Gilmour does and I suppose Waters was always going to keep stuff from The Wall to a minimum given his last tour.
Looking forward to it.

Enjoy the gig with all the familiar favourites, plus 4 tracks from his last album 'Is this the life we really want?'. Have you bought it yet?
Forget the other 199 albums for now OB1, go and get this for the cost of a pint n' half of ale. You know it makes sense ; )No I still haven't bought it but it's on my wish list with over 200 more albums!

Scroll up to one of my precious posts for setlist. 4 tracks from latest album.I am tempted by Waters new album I must admit. What is the set list of his current tour - many off the new one?
Broken Bones lyrics are brilliant IMO. Took me a quite a few plays to get into album, but Waters albums need plenty of plays I think to fully appreciate.Couldn't agree more,what an album "is this the life we really want " is
The last 3 song that are more or less 1 track are deeply moving for me,his swansong
Would be great if England win in normal time mate.
You'll no doubt enjoy Waters, he still has it. For me, the quality of the gig was so tight that it was like listening to the tracks as they were when recorded years ago. But of course, no lead guitarist can play and sing like Gilmour, although lead guitarist and vocals were as good as could be in Gilmour's absence.
The set list perhaps would have been better received had he chose 'Wish You Were Here' and 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond', instead of 'Dogs'and 'pigs'(3 different ones), but Roger bastardised the lyrics to mock Trump instead of Mary Whitehouse, with various message displayed on a recreation of the Animals album cover, with 'resist' this 'resist' that.
Comfortably Numb had thousands of tombola sized tickets with resist wrote on them hailing down from the ceiling.
The light set and prism of DSOFM album cover, plus the obligatory giant inflatable Pig were impressive, in what was a very enjoyable gig.
Waters gigs aren't cheap, but they say you get what you pay for and I didn't feel short changed for what(IMO) was a visual and audible masterpiece.
For an artist that isn't mainstream, not many can pack Wembley football stadium to capacity 3 nights running, but Waters has and can still do so.

The wall tour in 2013 which I attended. Wembley football stadium holds up to 90000 for gigs and it was packed. However, having googled that tour i apologise as i said he did 3 Wembley gigs and he only did 1 night there that tour. He still packs them in though. On this current world tour he does 4 nights each in Amsterdam and Bologna.Cheers for that. Personally I'm a huge fan of all the tracks on the Animals album so Dogs & Pigs wouldve been fine choices by me.
Just out of interest which tour was it when he sold out 3 nights at Wembley Stadium? If he has, it's something of a turnaround from the days of me watching him at the Arena on the Kaos tour whilst the Gilmour led band sold out the big Wembley
