And he has just scheduled a sixth concert at River Plate Stadium.... so he stands a chance at selling over 300,000 tickets during his stop in Buenos Aires... the previous record was held by the Rolling Stones, that managed to schedule 5 (five) River Stadiums...

They have to get some decent performers into the stadium rather than relying on the footballers.

Will you be going?

Ive been invited by one of the wineries I represent.

I have to confess to not being a huge Pink Floyd fan, but given the guy is a legend of sorts and will probably not be touring for much longer after this, I would be stupid to say no. I need to check with the higher authorities to see which dates are best suited for our schedule...

I was still quite young when they were at their peak....my older brother was right into them though.

I was more an ABBA fan.

If that was then.... (some 10+ years ago), imagine what she would look like in those now.... after various additional tons of lasagna....

Yeah she's a bit beefy now.

That was back in the 70's so well over 10 years ago. I was a young naive teenager at the time.

I wonder if music from "The Final Cut" will figure prominiently in the concert. It was released after the Malvinas/[insert other name here] conflict with strong anti-war undertones and some mocking of the English response.
