Roger Waters and The Wall Tour

Roger Waters, bass player, co-vocalist and lyricist for the English band Pink Floyd, is offering a new way to experience his performance of the 1979 album “The Wall”.

ith the construction of a fake, brick wall halfway through his set - completely blocking himself (and his eleven-piece band) off from the crowd to show the disassociative state society is heading in.

“The new production of The Wall is an attempt to draw some comparisons, to illuminate our current predicament, and is dedicated to the innocent lost in the intervening years,” states Waters in his tour blog.

Waters also questions if, “the technologies of communication in our culture serve to enlighten us and help us to understand one another better, or will the deceive us and tear us apart?”

The rock veteran obviously sides his opinion on the matter with the latter statement since the only visual sequences during the show are flashes of Shell oil signs and various religious artifacts. Waters even allows fans to upload pictures of civilians and soldiers lost at war that are shown throughout the show as a protest of unnecessary violence. As he feels, “many of these tragic losses of life are avoidable.”

Tickets are not cheap, but Waters still has a few weeks of U.S. touring left. To get the first-hand experience of the visonary music, it would be wise to order tickets now before the prices rise any higher.

Roger Waters’ The Wall Comes to Wells Fargo Center

On Monday, Nov. 8, Tuesday, Nov. 9 and Thursday, Nov. 11. Roger Waters will celebrate there 30th anniversary of the original release of The Wall with a visit to the Wells Fargo Center

His monumental tour features a full band and a newly-mounted state-of-the-art production of his masterpiece on alienation, paranoia and stardom-induced estrangement performed in its brick-by-brick entirety.

The Wall was America’s top-selling album of 1980 released originally in November 1979. It is one of the top-selling double albums in music history, and is still in the US Top 5 best-selling albums of all time. Early reviews of the tour have been glowing.

While the chances of Waters and Gilmour reconciling egos and bringing Pink Floyd back together for a full tour are about as good as pigs (literally) flying, if Roger’s “Dark Side of the Moon Tour” a few years back was any indication, all are in for quite a treat.

Waters does well with 'The Wall'

It is a king of concert tours because it was performed by Pink Floyd only a handful of times in its original form(and because it was so over-the-top even then), it has attained legendary status.

This time Roger Waters gave a new look instead of rehashing the same old thing on Tuesday at Qwest Center Omaha.Oh, and there was that giant white wall, built up between the audience and the band, brick by cardboard brick

This time there is no deviation from the original album except a few longer guitar solos and there were only a few pauses — one for an intermission and two or three for Waters to take a minute to speak to the gathered crowd.

Water looks much more comfortable with his fan, it looks like he was much better convinced of “The Wall,” which happened after he spit on a fan at a Montreal concert and thought a wall between him and the annoying gits in the crowd wouldn’t be a bad idea.

In Omaha, he waved at fans, encouraged claps and swayed to the music.

The original album and tour was about isolation. This time around, it was more anti-war, anti-capitalism and anti-poverty than about any kind of psychological issue.
