Roger Water is responding to accusations that “The Wall” stage show is anti-Semitic.

The Anti Defamation League last week claimed that there is imagery in the stage show that draws on stereotypes associated with Jews and money.

The claim in particular points out that when “Goodbye Blue Sky” is performed an animated projection displays airplanes dropping bombs that are shaped like the Jewish Stars of David that are then followed with dollar signs. Various other corporate and religious symbols are depicted as well.

An old man who looked like a hobo wearing tattered clothing and wheeling a cart containing all his worldly possessions over the floor at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre, and carrying a sign that on one side said “We Don’t Need” and the other side reading “No Thought Control,” greeted the public making their way into the auditorium. Fans were psyched up that they were getting to see Roger Waters in concert. People were whipping out their cameras and making videos to chronicle the hobo man who became an instant celebrity.

Once the lights were dimmed images showing fallen soldiers, along with other individuals caught up with war, were flashed on a gigantic circular screen located in back of the stage. The audience within minutes experienced a shower of rotating pyrotechnics and airplane crash. After that Roger Waters and his team of musicians strode onto the stage to amaze the fans with music that was mind blowing. The band quickly broke into “The Wall.” The crowd went wild and the ACC was soon pervaded with the smell of burning vegetation. At stage left there was a gigantic inflatable teacher with menacing cane that looked reproachfully down on the audience, seeming to pick a spectator out and give them a strong hiding. As the song was ending, a group of locally recruited school children come on the stage to join in “teacher leave those kids alone” chorus. It was truly magnificent.

Roger Waters, co-founder of Pink Floyd, said his new, upcoming production for “The Wall” is going to have a meaning that is broader than 30 years ago. He also recalled his own insecurities behind the original idea.

In an interview with the Rolling Stones the 67 year old Waters also said there was no chance of Pink Floyd getting together again to do another tour.

The main songwriter for Pink Floyd will be kicking off the 30th anniversary tour of “The Wall” on Wednesday in Toronto, with a new production and full band for the iconic rock opera which explores the theme of isolation.

Yes, a one-time big-time reunion is on the way between former feuding Pink Floyd front men Roger Waters and David Gilmour, but the date hasn’t been set yet, or maybe it has but they won’t spill it out just yet.

It all began after the two rock icons performed together at a HOPING foundation charity event in Oxfordshire, England last weekend where they performed “To Know Him is to Love Him” by Teddy Bears and three of their greatest hits – “Another Brick in the Wall (part 2)”, “Wish You were Here” and “Comfortably Numb”.

David Gilmour and Roger Waters, the two main forces that drove Pink Floyd, reunited onstage for the very first time in almost five years over the weekend at an English benefit event. The team-up was unannounced and occurred in front of 200 attendees in Oxfordshire at a benefit for Hoping Foundation that was raising money to benefit young Palestinian refugees.

The four song set from the duo included “To Know Him Is To Love Him” from Phil Spector, a sound check staple for Pink Floyd according to Gilmour’s blog, as well as band classics “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2,” “Comfortably Numb,” and “Wish You Were Here.”

Roger Waters has planned quite a lineup for his North American leg of his revival “The Wall Tour,” where the founder of Pink Floyd will perform the band’s classic 1979 album. The tour will kick off in Toronto ON on September 15 and wrap up in Anaheim, CA on December 14. However, the whirlwind tour of 2010 isn’t the only thing on tap for Waters. Spring 2011 will see the rocker make an extensive tour of Europe.

A dozen new concerts have been added by Roger Waters to his forthcoming fall tour. The former front man for Pink Floyd will be performing “The Wall,” the band’s 1979 album, in its entirety. For many of the markets the new dates are second or third nights, including Los Angeles, Montreal, New York City, Boston, Chicago and Toronto. On May 14 tickets will be going on sale for the date in Philadelphia. The additional shows in Anaheim, CA, Los Angeles and Chicago are going on sale on May 17, while the rest of the shows are already on sale.

Roger Waters later this year will be celebrating “The Wall’s” legacy with his 30th anniversary tour. It will update what already was one of history’s greatest stage shows into a rock spectacle for the 21st century. However, David Gilmour, who furnished the soaring solos, riffs and shared vocals on the songs “Another Brick in the Wall,” “Run Like Hell” and “Comfortably Numb” won’t be joining the tour. According to Waters that was Gilmour’s call.

All is set for “The Wall Live” tour where former Pink Floyd front man Roger Waters is set to relive the success and convey the message of global peace and political coexistence through Pink Floyd’s 1979 double-disc concept record “The Wall”.

The tour will be launched on September 15 in Toronto and will conclude in Anaheim on December 13. Presale tickets will be available tomorrow, May 5, however not everyone will have a chance at scoring those advance tickets as an electronic raffle or lottery will determine the select few for each city stop who will be entitled to partake in tomorrow’s presale event via Roger Waters’ official website.

The eligibility selection for the presale event will be held today. Fans who registered their names and email addresses through the tour’s official website were allowed to select a maximum of five city stops included in the tour and will receive a confirmation email whether they qualified for the presale or not.

Roger Waters, before embarking on his extensive world tour, already has his eyes set on his next venture. In a recent Associated Press interview, the former frontman of Pink Floyd said he still is working to turn the legendary “The Wall” album of the band’s into a production on Broadway.
