what year do you think was Rog's hottest/sexiest era?

Definitely either Pompeii or The Wall. Wall era Rog in that leather jacket does things to me.

Wip!

Roger's Lockdown Sessions are really great. I really love their arrangement of Vera and its more cohesive blending with Bring the Boys Back Home, because (A) I've long yearned for Vera to be longer, and (B) something about hearing BTBBH in old Rog's voice...really hammers in how long he's been making that plea. Got me in my feelings on this dreary day.

Saw Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets: Echoes tour in DC last night. Among lots of funny little things Nick said, he introduced Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun thusly:

"We're going to play a song now that is very near and dear to my heart, because I spent many a year watching Roger Waters bang holy hell out of this gong, and I was never allowed to play it. But, I've got my own gong now and I've given myself permission to play it." 😌

If you're a Floyd fan and you get the chance, go see the show. It was absolutely wonderful. All the pre-Dark Side classics were played and some of the more obscure stuff - like Vegetable Man, one that NO OTHER member of Pink Floyd or Floyd tribute band has ever played live - and they use the "old ways" for producing unique visual effects each night (e.g., using 2 concave clock faces, baby oil, ink, and water to create live lava lamp-like projections). All the old hippies in the audience were bouncing in their seats or jumping out of them to dance. Nick is SO sweet and funny, you can tell by watching him that he's having the best time. The band is also phenomenal and work really well together (Guy Pratt's in the band!). 10/10, if he had another show booked closer I'd see it again. The merch is nice too!
