with Jim Ladd and he said that in order to get the best overall view, the cheap seats were the way to go.

He said that the "wankers with their American Express Cards and front-row seats" won't have as good a seat as someone that dug deep just to be able to buy a cheap ticket.

The scope of the total experience is just too large to take it all in up close, but he did say that those people in front will get a good look at his nose hair.



No dig at you.

He was hilarious.

If I could go, it wouldn't matter if they made me hang from the rafters by my toes, I'd still have a great time.

Roger also kicked off the new Pink Floyd channel on S/XM debuting this Friday, it will be just like the Grateful Dead channel, all Pink Floyd, all the time, concert, interviews, music, rare stuff....it will be freakin' sweet.
