Just finished listening to it for the first time and really enjoyed it. There is quite a variety on this album, and a few stand out tracks for me, but nothing that I don't like.

I'm there Thursday. Can't wait. Hope he does at least one Floyd song.. although I think he stated recently he isn't interested in going there now and wants to rely purely on his own stuff. We shall see!

i'm going thursday too. more than half the set is floyd stuff, mostly the obvious stuff, some slightly lesser well known stuff so he covers from early days to later days. i would have liked 2 or 3 tracks from his first solo album but it looks like just one or two from the previous solo album. he's done a few shows in europe and the warm up in brighton so you can easily look up the tracklistings if interested. i don't want to spoil the set for you. it looks a bit more of a floyd best of set than his last solo tour whilst was most about half new album and half floyd

Thoughts behind spoiler tag incase anyone is yet to see him on the tour. Don't read if you're going to see him.

Wow. What a night. It was the perfect set list for me. All of the classic Floyd tracks he did the vocals for... all of the solos... and he nailed it every single time. I was blown away. He's a genius. It doesn't get much better than that. It's the first time I've seen him perform so I knew it was going to be good for me but it was great. And when they kicked in the lasers towards the end.. holy s**t. Not sure I'll experience that again. He's right up there with Kate Bush last year for me. Really glad I went. Feel very fortunate.
