Color me EXCITED!!!!
Waters Bringing 'Dark Side' To North America
April 21, 2006, 3:45 PM ET
Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
As expected, Pink Floyd principal Roger Waters will tour North America this fall and will be performing the band's classic 1973 album "Dark Side of the Moon" in its entirety. Beforehand, Waters will spend the summer touring Europe, beginning June 2 at the Rock in Rio festival in Lisbon.
The North American tour, Waters' first since 2002, will get underway Sept. 6 in Holmdel, N.J., and hit arenas and outdoor amphitheatres. The band will include longtime sidemen Andy Fairweather Low and Snowy White on guitar, drummer Graham Broad and Waters' son Harry on Hammond organ.
Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason will make a guest appearance at Waters' July 14 show in Nevers, France, but at deadline is not confirmed to join the band at any additional shows.
Sans Waters, Pink Floyd performed "Dark Side of the Moon" in full for the first time during its 1994 tour in support of "The Division Bell." With Waters back in the fold, the band performed the "Dark Side" tracks "Breathe" and "Money" as part of its four-song set at Live 8 last summer.
Here are Roger Waters' North American tour dates:
Sept. 6: Holmdel, N.J. (PNC Bank Arts Center)
Sept. 8: Mansfield, Mass. (Tweeter Center)
Sept. 12-13: New York (Madison Square Garden)
Sept. 15: Wantagh, N.Y. (Jones Beach)
Sept. 16: Camden, N.J. (Tweeter Center)
Sept. 18: Auburn Hills, Mich. (Palace of Auburn Hills)
Sept. 20: Toronto (Air Canada Centre)
Sept. 21: Montreal (Bell Centre)
Sept. 24: Burgettstown, Pa. (Post Gazette Pavilion)
Sept. 27: Cleveland (Gund Arena)
Sept. 29: Chicago (First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre)
Sept. 30: Noblesville, Ind. (Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre)

Oct. 8: Las Vegas (Theatre Under the Stars)

As much as I love Gilmour, I do have to say, he wouldn't have gotten to where he was without the concepts of Roger . . . and then the torture of mega egotistical Roger, lol. But, the axe from Eugene has been put down, and the band is at peace (but never to reuinite in full again). Even though Roger's voice is somewhat going, imo, I would still love to see one of these shows.
I've always wondred why Tim never covered a floyd song. I think a great D&T one would be Wish You Were Here. But, I am sure he could also do a fucking great Comfortably Numb or Run Like Hell by himself.
Maybe Tim's not a fan. |
