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.

Roger Water: Roger Waters will tour The Wall

Roger Waters, the Bass player and main songwriter for Pink Floyd during the 70s and early 80s, is to revisit one of the bands masterpieces and take the Wall back out on the road for the first time since the he performed it with Pink Floyd.
Roger the Wall has been performed since then on a one off concert commemorating the fall of the Berlin wall back in 1990 with guest appearances from artists like Bryan Adams, Van Morrison and Sinead O’Connor and since then Waters has performed with his old band mates in Pink Floyd for a one off concert in the Live 8 concert.
But since the death of Pink Floyd’s keyboard player Richard Wright any further coaction with the band’s guitarist David Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason are now highly improbably.
But it looks like Roger has unfinished business with the album that most people equate with ‘Roger Waters’ the artist and so he plans to take The Wall out for another airing in 2011 making the show his most ambitious to date with everything including the kitchen sink thrown in.
The special effects will be bigger and better than anything previous, this is coming from a man whose stage shows both with and without Pink Floyd have been some of the most fantastic ever staged.
Roger has always been a pioneer conceptually and his song writing broke barriers and walls (excuse the awful pun) and none more so than in the conceptual design for The Wall on the album of the same name, the film of the same name and the tour.
Themes of alienation, loss and the way that we are affected by such experiences is fundamental to The Wall and a glimpse into Roger Water’s soul is captured within the story of The Wall which is regarded as one of the greatest concept albums of all time.
The Wall tour will be also made relevant to today’s world moving it from 1979/1980 to today’s world even though the themes addressed in The Wall are timeless.
Roger has said that he is unsure of whether or not he will take a huge show like this out on the road again and this may be his swansong with respect to large stage productions but this is Roger Waters and he is to be underestimated at great peril.
Knock em dead next year Roger.
And if you have any spare tickets for the O2 arena shows in May please let me know (the fan inside me can remain silent no longer).
