Roger Waters on Jimmy Fallon tonight

In addition to interview, Roger is scheduled to perform with Foo Fighters as backup band. Should be fun!

Additionally: All this week is Pink Floyd Week apparantly to publicize the re-release of DSOM.

For the longest time I didn't want to like Fallon, but on the whole, he has (IMHO) eclipsed all the other Late Night Talk Shows by a considerable measure.

He has great Talent himself, he has great guests, a very HIP band, a good sideman, and the format is totally adequate.

Only downside is the time slot. (as I need my sleep)

My sentiments exactly but I get by the time slot issue w Tivo.

Rockers seem to love his show as well. Springsteen, Richards to name a few... guys you never see on other talk shows.

His spoof on Neil Young, where he plays the bubble gum pop song of the day with his guests (Springsteen, Crosby & Nash) with a very folky serious face is always really funny.

Ever seen him do the hip hop compilations with Justin Timberlake? .

100% agree. Saw him do the Neil Young/Springteen skit the other night and thoght the Springsteen character was also impersonating and it turned out to be the BOSS himself (with a wig).

In addition to the Foo Fighters, one of the other bands doing a Pink Floyd cover this week is like Nirvana or someone like that (check your local listings for the exact band/I was half asleep when I heard it)

You're probably thinking of Pearl Jam.

Pearl Jam did a very nice cover of "Mother" on Friday night's show. On Wednesday night, the Foo Fighters and Roger Waters played "In The Flesh". I thought it was ok, not great.

Yes, I missed the show but that is the band.
