Roger Waters - June29th- Cork

Afrosticks · 14-02-2006 6:36pm #1

Alright heads..
Just found out from another site the godfather of "slit your wrists music" is playing the Marquee Festival Cor June 29th.
http://www.rogerwaters.org/2006-current.html#FEB06

I saw him on the In The Flesh tour in dublin almost 4 years ago and it was indeed a spectacle.

Go!!

MunkyHed · 20-02-2006 11:11am

Yes indeed, it's been a few years since he played an amazing gig at the point. for all you floydians who've bee itching to hear some floyd tracks live.. be there!! 29th of June.

Did he play much Floyd when he was here last time?

And what are the chances he'll play Dublin? I know some of the acts that played the Marquee last year played a small venue in Dublin (Al Green and Brian Wilson). Well he's touring that new opera that he's written so I cant imagine that being played in Vicar St!

Caught the last show (glastonbury) of his tour, I'd say a good 75% of it was floyd stuff, with Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking and one or two from Amused To Death thrown in as well... there was nothing I didn't recognize anyway and those two are his only solo albums that are worth owning.

They all seem to be festival shows or big open air events by the looks of it... so I can't imagine a Point gig would be in the pipeline, although there is a big gap between the tel aviv gig on the 20th and the cork show on the 29th which hopefully will be filled

Quite a lot. However, if you like Pink Floyd I recomend his solo albums. They're brilliant.

MunkyHed · 22-02-2006 8:50am

Ya he plays a load of Floyd tracks. And the gig i went to in the point a few years ago was mainly Floyd tracks. It was brilliant in fairness, his guitarists re-enacted the comfortably numb solo on top of 'The wall'. Loads of video on a big screen and graphics n stuff. Brilliant!:D

colincarnate · 22-02-2006 8:58am

sweet! i'm there!

LundiMardi · 22-02-2006 12:49pm

when does this go on sale? there's no info about it on ticketmaster? Any other acts confirmed at all?

dream brother · 22-02-2006 1:51pm

Apparently there was something in the star recently that Neil young was going to be playing too...please say its not a rumour again....

He plays a relatively long show so there won't necessarily be support. There wasn't in the point. The show was about two and a half hours long.

LundiMardi · 22-02-2006 2:22pm

sure bands like bon jovi regularly play 3 hour sets and they usually have 2 supports bands

Probably not for another month or two, news broke cause it was posted on the roger waters site. This is part of a number of gigs at the marquee, so doubt they'll go on sale until some of the other acts have been confirmed.

dimerocks · 22-02-2006 6:04pm

i know yeah....i cant wait.

wow, thatd be amazing! wont get my hopes up yet though.

MunkyHed · 28-02-2006 12:47pm

Lads i've also heard rumours that bob dylan will be playing the marquee as well. Not confirmed yet though. Still googling! Also someone said Led Zeppelin (As in page and plant) Anyone Else hear this... is it bull?

Evil Sausage · 28-02-2006 1:31pm

Not totally bull - Robert Plant is playing, along with Roxy Music, Art Garfunkel and Roger Waters:

Aiken

comet · 28-02-2006 2:01pm

Dylan is playing too just not on that site yet.

LundiMardi · 28-02-2006 2:22pm

Ok, when the hell is this on sale!!?? I'm there! Sounds like an awesome gig!! Is it over a few days?

comet · 28-02-2006 2:24pm

These are all seperate gigs in a marquee over about a 2 week timeframe. Roughly last week of June into first week of July, different acts every night. See Evil Sausage link above.

Mr Rivers · 28-02-2006 2:27pm

He'll be playin Electric Picnic this year I hear

Can't believe roger waters is 75 euro. What a rip. Why can't he be 55 like Robert Plant? Anyone been to a gig in this marquee thing?? I was at moby years ago and muse but i remember the tent thingy being fairly crap. Is it the same thing??

dimerocks · 28-02-2006 4:54pm

75 euros for the waters!!!!!holy **** i still will go though. how much was brian wilsonlast year?

Marquee is pretty decent, very big, a lot bigger than that tent that used to tour for the Heineken gigs. I heard some people say the sound was a bit echoing up the back but i was towards the front last year and thought the sound was pretty good.

Roar · 28-02-2006 5:39pm

Apparently, according to what i heard on the radio, he'll be playing dark side of the moon from start to finish at the start of the show

:eek:

honru · 28-02-2006 6:17pm

€70? Fuck that.

Would be a great surprise if Dylan or Young played, but not at €70. Robert Plant for €50 is a tad much aswell.

comet · 28-02-2006 6:29pm

Its expensive alright but it was the same story last year, they know people down this end of the country will pay it since the equivalent trip to Dublin to see the acts would be much more expensive. I think Aiken make a killing on it, they wouldn't be doing it again this year otherwise.

Arucard · 01-03-2006 1:16am

dunno if i'll go now. would love to see him, but €75?

LundiMardi · 02-03-2006 3:03pm

Live at the Marquee Festival in Cork, 29th June...

HE WILL BE PLAYING DARK SIDE OF THE MOON FROM START TO FINISH AT THIS GIG!!!:D

phantom_lord · 02-03-2006 3:26pm

Isn't there another thread about this...

LundiMardi · 02-03-2006 3:35pm

well, there's a thread about the festival, but not specifically Roger Waters, or i haven't seen it at least.

dimerocks · 02-03-2006 11:43pm

the whole of dark side..........where did you hear this??

LundiMardi · 03-03-2006 12:08pm

it was on the radio.. i have my tickets:)

Sorry, i forget about this other thread, even though i had already posted:rolleyes:

honru · 03-03-2006 1:03pm

Hotpress have confirmed that Bob Dylan is to play the Marquee.

Anyone have more information?

comet · 03-03-2006 1:28pm

yeah he's confirmed but the promoter doesn't have the exact date yet, will be announced as soon as they do. The Marquee runs in the last week of June and the first week of July, by crossing off the days already booked you could probably narrow it down a bit more.

Package · 03-03-2006 2:13pm

wow

comet · 03-03-2006 3:15pm

date i've heard for Dylan is June 25th

dimerocks · 03-03-2006 5:15pm

according to of my friends who works in a ticketmaster supplier it will probably be next week they announce it.
I got my Roger Waters ticket today though, can't wait.

GBX · 03-03-2006 10:39pm

Hey guys .. Roger Waters is on in Cork during the summer. where is the Showgrounds venue where its on? is it central to cork city?

parsi · 03-03-2006 10:44pm

Its beside Pairc Ui Chaoimh and about 15 minutes walk from town,..

kc66 · 04-03-2006 9:21am

Was pondering on how expensive tickets are to this when I was offered a free one, free accom and a lift to Cork. Yippeee!

jimmidy_cricket · 04-03-2006 9:39am

You jammy git kc66! I just spent 150.00 (that I don't have) for two tickets for my fellas birthday thats not even till April and then what the hell are we gonna do/stay in Cork?! I sorta got hyper when I heard about it and rang ticket master straight away with my creditcard...i didn't really think it through very well..ooops!

kc66 · 04-03-2006 9:54am

It will be worth it though. Price of any tickets in this country is gone mad in the last few months especially. It will probably soon be €100 for any concert.

jimmidy_cricket · 04-03-2006 10:10am

Feckin sure it'll be worth it. Mind you, wouldn't it be great if Gilmore joined him, god that'd make it so worth it. Could you imagine it? Roger giving it socks on a solo and out strolls Gilmore from the wings, it'd be mass hysteria, I'd probably pee myself with excitement or puke I sometimes vomit if im too excited! Can't wait I heard he's doin a new version or his version of Dark side of the moon. I only did the wizard of Oz thing with that album a few months ago...so mad! You seen it?
