Just wondering whether anyone else on here is going along to see Roger Waters latest incarnation of The Wall at Wembley next weekend. I'm planning to go along with both sons.

To be honest I would have preferred to see it performed by the original Pink Floyd lineup but that opportunity has now gone. I guess this is one of the few remaing opportunities to see any member of PF play live again.

Anyhow - looking forward to it.

I'm going along with my brother and mother.

I went twice to see it a couple of years ago at the MEN in Manchester. It's a brilliant spectacle.

If I'd known he was going to announce a show at the Manchester Arena a couple of nights after the Wembley show, I would have just gone for Manchester but I had already got these tickets before it was announced. Still tickets available for Manchester I think, so I'll probably end up doing something daft like getting back from Wembley and then booking for Manchester.

Thanks, hadn't realised till now that he was also playing Manchester this time around. There are also tickets still available for Wembley - I'm sure another appearance from David Gilmour (no matter how unlikely/impossible) would sell out any still remaining laugh

Looking forward to going to the show with my Dad tomorrow. Fingers crossed that Mr Gilmour might turn up too?

Went to the O2 last year twice (including the Gilmour one smile ). Great show, with a clever modern twist in places (e.g. Mother).

Beginning to wish I hadn't bothered with Wembley - it's an absolute fking nightmare from the Midlands. irked

Whereabouts in the Midlands are you? You could get the Chiltern Railway train from Birmingham straight to Wembley Stadium station?

Getting there is fine... it's getting home. Last train to a sensible station is about 10 minutes after the gig finishes.

As a reuslt we're using National Express. Guarantees us a return journey, but sadly means being at Wembley for 16:25 - for a gig that starts at 19:00!

I not going to Webley but have seen the original line up way back in my youth.

The Australian Pink Floyd are pretty good. I saw them at the O2, worth a punt.

Well I thought I might like to go to the show, so will be driving down from Leeds tomorrow.

Can't wait, should be epic (the concert, not the drive).

Sadly can't see that happening but it's not beyond the realms of possibility that Nick Mason might put in an appearance.

Mason? On the same day as the Goodwood Revival? Nah.
