Roger's Solo Efforts

[darksorrow]

its great to see roger waters perform all the pink floyd classics for all those who are to young to have seen them live I believe he is better than pink floyd after he left

I Dissagre, pink floyd was more serious about their show.By this I mean that he put less money into his show.

He's much better. Roger's solo stuff is just as good as his stuff with Floyd(although, very different). Meanwhile, Floyd has been terrible since Roger left(especially the lyrics).

I hope there are others out there who share my pain. Let's talk Roger for a bit. I'll start with the recent stuff. Call me crazy, but I love Ca Ira. It feels so complete and I am satisfied when it is over that I have heard it all (as opposed to Radio KAOS where you are left wondering what great stuff was edited out).

I have heard that Roger is working on two albums. One is a political world-view type album (think the "Pros and Cons" type "Leaving Beirut" is part of it?) and the other is more of a concept album ("Flickering Flame", "Each Small Candle" included?). You never know what Roger is going to end up doing though. Two albums would be the best-case. The record company might get him to toss out the concepts and just get out an album. Any thoughts?

Ca Ira is one of the most amazing works I've heard. Awesome to find someone else who likes it.

Never heard Ca Ira before, sounds like it is good. Maby I should buy it?

It's outstanding. I don't even like opera much and I loved Ca Ira

All this talk and now I'm listening Ca Ira and probably the Final Cut next. I should be sleeping.

Is there any way you can post them?? I LOVE Pros and Cons, and I'm a huge Clapton fan, in fact just finished his biography. I am dying to see a video of the Pros and Cons shows they did.

I have a audience DVD. If you want, you can add it to my request thread and I will upload it.
