Roger Waters touring “The Wall” in 2012
Written by admin on November 2, 2011 – 10:57 am -| Roger Waters is returning to North America next May to tour his 30th anniversary production of “The Wall.”
Waters originally toured “The Wall” in 1980 with Pink Floyd and then famously a decade later in Berlin to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall. His new state-of-the-art production hit the road last year and has already been performed 120 times to around 1.6 million fans. |

Commenting on the show, Waters said:
| “Thirty years ago when I wrote ‘The Wall,’ I was a frightened young man. In the intervening years it occurred to me that maybe the story of my fear and loss with its concomitant inevitable residue of ridicule, shame and punishment, provides an allegory for broader concerns: Nationalism, racism, sexism, religion, whatever! All these issues and ‘isms are driven by the same fears that drove my young life.” |
Roger Waters’ (lead vocals, bass) touring band for “The Wall” includes Snowy White (guitar), Dave Kilminster (guitar), GE Smith (guitar and bass), Jon Carin (keyboards), Harry Waters (Hammond organ), Graham Broad (drums), Robbie Wyckoff (vocals), and Jon Joyce, Pat Lennon, Mark Lennon and Kipp Lennon (backing vocals).
