It's astounding that Waters can outpace Bruce by that much. I wouldn't even expect the full Pink Floyd (well minus the dead members) to draw THAT well. I'd like to see Waters, but I'd like to see Gilmour even more.

Waters is playing larger venues this leg of the tour. Nine sellouts at River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires netted $38 million by themselves.

So would I, so would I.
I've seen both by themselves (well, that's not entirely correct, Gilmour was with Mason and Wright) but to see the trio that is left perform together at least once would be awesome.

I seen Roger Waters on The Wall tour not to long ago. One of the top 3 concerts I'd ever seen IMO. I to seen that Gilmour, Mason, Wright tour back in the 90's. Both Waters and Gilmour are intergal parts of the whole. On 60 minutes Waters stated that a promoter told him if he and Gilmour and now sadly only Mason team back up, they would rake in 600 million.

I am pleasantly surprised to see TSO even made the list. Even more shocked they are above a big country name like Swift and a world touring classical musician such as Rieu. Shocked in a good way. :)
