Roger Waters Tour

In 2002, Roger Waters, co-founder of the band Pink Floyd, will be bringing “In the Flesh” shows from his 1999-2000 tour of North America to other parts of the world.

The concerts will include his first appearances in the U.K. since his performances of “Radio K.A.O.S.” at Wembley Arena in London in 1987. According to information posted on the official website for Waters, they will also be his first solo shows in Europe since 1984.

The 1999 tour for Waters was the first full fledged trek for him in twelve years. The only major performance for Waters during the 1990s was in 1990 when he performed “The Wall” for over 350,000 people at the Berlin Wall’s former site after it had been recently destroyed.

The set lists for the “In the Flesh” North American tours include solo album and Pink Floyd material, as well as “Each Small Candle,” a recent song.

The touring band for Waters includes guitarists Doyle Bramhall II (also on vocals), Snowy White and Andy Fairweather-Low, drummer Graham Broad, keyboardists Andy Wallace and Jon Carin, saxophonist Norbert Stachel and vocalists PP Arnold, Susannah Melvoin and Katie Kissoon.

Waters has been hard at work on an opera entitled “Ca Ira” in addition to a new album that has a 2002 release date.

“Echoes-The Best of Pink Floyd,” a retrospective album, will be released by Capitol Records on November 6.
