I may be in a minority here, but post-Syd Floyd bores me. I live those early 45’s and the Piper at the Gates of Dawn album.

Going on Saturday at the Wiltern - both shows Sat. and especially Sunday sold poorly.
All unsold VIP's - and there were many leftovers for Sunday - were converted to standard pricing.
Not surprising as the original VIP prices for the first few rows were an insane $450......
Looking forward to it - paid $62+ fees for a decent balcony seat when initial sales started.

Sold poorly? It was all resale and VIP until they dropped pricing on VIP. Good seats at face all sold in the first 48 hours.
I am going Fri in SF and Sat in LA. Got great seats for LA and needed to pull a favor for good SF seats.

I'm pretty sure there was always a smattering of standard priced tix for the first show - some are still available even now (maybe they were converted from platinum).
And then when extremely overpriced VIP's sold poorly, they were converted to standard pricing - but even those aren't selling very well at the reduced standard prices.
As for the second show, the resale option was never avaialable, and as of this minute all seats in the mezzanine have dropped from $62+ down to $29+ for a 50% discount.
Most of the pit is still available - what was once $450 VIP's have been reduced to $178 standard, and even those aren't selling.
If it continues to sell poorly, might be able to get in for peanuts for that one, or at the least get a free upgrade.
Some friends and I are meeting at Beer Belly a couple blocks away before the show daspy - would be cool to see you again.

I saw the show last night in SF and it was stunning- literally like stepping back in time. Walking in that room and it was 1967, London in a dark smoky club. To say it was psychedelic would be an understatement. The music was oozing Syd Barrett. Mason can still play the drums with reckless abandon and tunes like Arnold Layne, the Colour is Green, Fearless, Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, See Emily Play and Bike were all living, fire breathing vital songs while the light show pulsated and time became fungible. It was an astonishing experience! Go see this show at the Beacon Marc, you will not regret it!

Seeing this in Denver, can't wait. I know I am in the minority but I have big Floyd fan but not a fan of the Wall. Early Floyd is my favorite so this is very exciting for me.

THE WALL IS AN ABSOLUTELY GREAT PINK FLOYD ALBUM!!!!!
What are really NOT Pink Floyd albums are the one's released after Roger Waters left the band.

i know we've talked about this hairball but for others. i saw the original wall in LA when i was in college & then roger's version toward the end of his wall tour in a smallish arena. lot of years in between but i thought roger's version was better. some of that has to do with the technology advances but roger was truly into it. he even made a little speech at the end talking about playing in seattle in the early days where he was clearly emotional. it may have been the best "show" i've ever seen. roger doesn't get enough recognition for being the visionary he is. truly one of a kind & his influence will last for a long time after he's gone.

I just scored front row center for Detroit! Paid $110. Until yesterday, they had been asking $447 for that same seat.
