An Evening With My Daughter at a Roger Waters Concert

Zapster · Oct 6, 2006

I took my daughter to see Roger Waters at the Hollywood Bowl last night.....and it inspired the following train of thought:

2 Tickets to Roger Waters @ the Hollywood Bowl --------- $550
Parking-------------------------------------------------- $18
T-Shirts--------------------------------------------------$70
Chicken Dinner Served at Seats----------------------------$42
Watching A-Rod Strike Out THREE TIMES earlier that day ------PRICELESS!!!!

did he play any classic floyd? what a great moment for you and your daughter.....

what a fucking rip off though, 10 years ago, I used to see all the big concerts for 25$ to 50$

One of These Days - Classic Floyd. :suomi:

I would love to see a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Have a friend who lives in nearby Toluca Lake.

No doubt, you could go see "The Who" for that kind of money, not just one guy from Floyd.

I remeber in 1978 getting in line to buy Greatful Dead tickets to the New Years Eve show at Winterland(turns out was the last show ever @ Winterland)and it was announced that the cost was $30.

WTF I was there to buy 2 tickets and didn't have $60,why are they doing this to me.

My GF at the time ran home and got money from her parents but hell how did it come to all this.

Of course supply and demand.

I saw Waters in the Oakland Colesium years ago and the end of "Welcome To The Machine" vibrated the whole building was cool.

To be honest......as great as the show was (he did Dark Side of the Moon in its note for note entirety for the second set), it wasn't QUITE the experience of Pink Floyd (even without Roger).

But.....it's what we have......and one of the FEW concerts that I could take my daughter to and have us both get off on it (Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr also work....but I can't get her to want to see Ratdog or Phil Lesh.....oh well.....)

They did the thing with the inflated pig.......and when the gigantic pig's ass floated by I thought hmmmm.....pig.....swine.....SWINEbrenner.........A-Rod struck out three times today......Muaaaaahahahahahah!!!!!! And the words to the original post came to me.

Hey Yankee fans........this butt's for you !!!

what is the face value? last concert i payed 25 for the rolling stones 15 yrs ago

Zapster · Oct 6, 2006

Face value on these were 260 each. He's playing 3 nights so demand is low and the broker sold me the tix pretty much for face.

He must be a fellow Yakeee hater !!

The DVD of the Roger Waters concert is as real as the concert. Saw Roger Waters at the MGM grand in Vegas and it was just as good as Pink Floyd themselves.

And I saw Floyd at Veterans Stadium in Philly on June 4 1994 (still have the ticket stub in my wallet) and also saw the Floyd do "The Wall" in NY back in 1980 on the Island.

That's what music is all about.

Zap, you and Tate still doing "agreed plays?" haven't looked for them in a while; if not you need to fire that up again.

winbet · Oct 6, 2006

I've Two daughters 21 & 19 and both like the Old Stuff, just shows how much craps around nowadays, but to be fair, there are some good Bands, just not as many. I had the priviledge of seeing Floyd in their Hayday when their technical prowess was light years in front of everyone but nothing compared to close-up Jimi Hendrix Live.:drink:

Chris@OlympicSports · Oct 6, 2006

VH-1 Classic just showed Dark Side of the Moon

The making of it

The Classic LP show is great,They had Hendrix Electic Ladyland

F'N guy was so far ahead of any guitar player it is scary

winbet · Oct 6, 2006

Not only that Chris but I think his Virtuoso Guitaring hid what a great song writer he was. :drink:

Chris@OlympicSports · Oct 6, 2006

Yup he was unreal song writer, sad part Record Company screwed with Jimmy all the time, wouldn't let him grow as a musician

i saw that show it had to be less than $10 per ticket for festival seating. Some unknown band named zztop never showed up to open up the show. I was about 25 feet away from the stage.
