Roger Waters will play The Wall live

Fri, 16 Apr 2010

Roger Waters announced on his website earlier this week that following on from performing the album 'Dark Side Of The Moon' around the world he will next perform The Wall live.

In the statement he posted a quote from 22 years ago that he'd recently come across:

"What it comes down to for me is this: Will the technologies of communication in our culture, serve to enlighten us and help us to understand one another better, or will they deceive us and keep us apart?"
He then went on to say, "30 Years ago when I wrote The Wall I was a frightened young man. Well not that young, I was 36 years old."

"It took me a long time to get over my fears. Anyway, in the intervening years it has occurred to me that maybe the story of my fear and loss with it’s 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."

"This new production of The Wall is an attempt to draw some comparisons, to illuminate our current predicament, and is dedicated to all the innocent lost in the intervening years".

The tour dates so far start in Canada in September and run throughout USA & Canada.
