Thanks for the perspective - but I respectfully stand by my feeling that if I'm there to hear a band, I surely don't want them to sell me crap that I haven't purchased.
That being said, the Floyd show I saw at the Cap Center in DC in '87 was probably one of the best I've seen. The Aussie Floyd show isn't that much far behind.
See ya,

And although I don't always agree with their politics, I do support their right to voice it. - At the very least, they do it in moderation.
One of the song intro's that Roger Waters does before he sings some of his non, Pink Flyod, solo work, is a short story he tells about an Arab family in Lebanon that takes him in one night as he was traveling the Middle East. And how they fed and took care of him. Point being, I think he has good intentions. He's not just hamming it up like some other rockers trying to use it as a platform to get more publicity. He's actually trying to get people to break down their walls. Which is the same message he has been singing about for the past 30 years.
Thanks again for the B-day wishes everyone!
