I'm taking your good advice (along with my son's) to go to Roger's concert on Saturday (tickets still available) to experience a Big Venue event for the first time. I really have no excuse because I can get the tram to Victoria where the arena is and hop on back home. To be frank, I was never a fan of Pink Floyd (20 years too late for me) but I'm a huge admirer of Rog and just wish there were more, or even one, like him.
Sorry to hear about Val. Nobody "rocked" like him.
