Dates have been confirmed by Roger Waters for his full album Pink Floyd “The Wall” performances. A North American tour of 33 cities will be launching this fall.
The outing will kick off in Toronto on September 15, covering most of the US as well as several cities in Canada over the three month trek. There will be stops of multiple nights in Chicago on September 20-21, in Philadelphia on November 8-9 and in Los Angeles on November 29 and December 1.
Waters’ website will be providing further details regarding an upcoming pre-sale and on-sale dates.
According to a recent press release “The Wall,” a concept album from 1979, has only been performed previously in its entirely thirty one times. Most of these performances were by Pink Floyd on their 1980-81 tour. In 1990 Waters performed the album along with a star studded cast in commemoration of the Berlin Wall coming down.
In his press statement Waters said, the new “The Wall” production was attempting to draw comparisons for illuminating our current predicaments. It’s dedicated to losing innocence over the years. During Waters’ 2007-08 tour Waters played “The Dark Side of the Moon,” the 1973 classic from his former band, in full.
According to an interview Waters did with Rocky Mountain News in 2008, he is continuing to work on a new solo project with the tentative tile of “Heartland.” However there doesn’t appear to be an imminent release date. Waters said, I’ve written lots of songs. I keep wanting to get into the studio to make an album.
The most recent solo rock album from Waters is “Amused to Death,” released in 1992. He did release “Ca Ira” in 2005, a three act opera that has its basis in the French Revolution, on the classic music label for Sony.
