I already had tickets to See Roger for July 8th. Taking my son to his first ever concert. Should be fun. It will be my 4th time seeing Roger. It is an "in the round" concert", the stage is center ice. Not sure Roger can top 2017"s Us and Them show, 2 200 foot video screens. One splitting the arena in half, turning into Battersea Power Station. I took my daughter (her first show) she was 19 at the time.

Today I bought a pair of tickets to see Nicks Mason's Saucer Full Of Secrets show at Massey Hall. Much smaller intimate venue. Taking my wife, and it will be her first concert. she is 46, but did not grow up the partier that I did lol. It will make a good date night.

Now if only David Gilmour would do one more tour.

It was mind blowing. As I said I took my daughter. He played a Monday and Tuesday. I looked up Roger's tour schedule to see where he was going next, I saw he went up to Quebec, Ottawa, and then he was returning to Toronto on the next Friday. I had to go again. I took my brother in law, who has been my friend since 1982. I wanted him to experience it. We saw a lot of shows together over the years, including Floyd in 1994.

I've tried to really like "Animals" but even after repeated listening it just doesn't do it for me.

Not only my favorite Pink Floyd album, my favorite album period.
Me and Panzer are polar opposites when it comes to music and TV shows.
I mean The Sopranos, Breaking Bad and Boardwalk Empire are amazing shows.

Yeh its certainly not floyds best "as in successful"by any means and what came later was indeed Awesome...

The wall and the film itself was just Mindblowing stuff,

But animals had a really distinct flavour about it and as a major animal lover the album just blew me away...

Pigs was an amazing and very sad track but i swear i just love a roast pork dinner.

Floyd were an amazing band and i think the meaning behind the tracks just cant be beaten,

It's not actually about animals, it's about different aspects of humanity.
