Can someone get me up to speed on this tour? I've heard that Roger will be performing nothing but Pink Floyd music including the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" LP (God, that sounds familiar.....like maybe someone else did that.........??). I've also heard that he will play much of his own solo material with a few PF tunes. I've also heard that his opera material will be included in his set..................Does anyone know what this is all about?
As much as I hate to say this, after hearing what his voice sounds like now at the Live 8 show, I don't think I'm interested....

I thought the show was excellent ,as did other friends who went - better than excellent really.
For informarion about the show, have a look at the 'Live Performances' thread and check out the ' brain damage' site via. the link in JOOLZ's post. Just about all you need to know is there.

David Killminster is the guitarist for the tour. i dont know any other names but i think its going to be a pretty massive line-up. I dont really like that sort of 'Pulse' style show but to see Waters play DSOTM from start to finnish i can certainly make comprimises.

I can do no more than tell you where to look, so please go to the LIVE PERFORMANCE REVIEW thread under 'Roger Waters plays Darkside of the Moon'.
The band is similar to the 'In the Flesh' DVD line-up. Graham Broad is on drums, Snowy White shares lead and rhythm duties with Dave Killminster, Andy Fairweather-Low plays rhythm and some bass when Rogers on acoustic or just singing, John Carin is excellent on keyboards and he may play some slide I think, there is a second kbds. player whose name I think is Andy Wallace and there are the three back up singers who are also excellent incl. Carole Kenyon and Katie Kissoon.
The set list ia available on the 'brain damage' link I have referred to provided by JOOLZ in his post. There are some excellent reviews there too.
As far as I know, it's all PF music.If there is anything else in there it would be something from his solo albums which I am not familiar with. There is no reference to 'Ca Ira' at all.
Hoping this helps guys. If you have the chance, get there!

Ok, on doing a bit more research, the second kbds. player is Harry Waters and the sax player, Ian Ritchie.

Have already my tickets this March 12 at Estadio de Monumental de Universitario (5 blocks from my house), Central VIP section, row 9, pretty good seats, wanted to go to Super VIP (a special section in the front - front) but it was US$ 240.00 and that's really too much for me but even worst, the scenario is going to be pretty high, so it's necasary to have your head in an uncomfortable position to see the whole show, plus no photos with flash are allowed there..
The songs he plays not from Pink Floyd are:
Perfect Sense 1 & 2 from "Amused to Death" Leaving Beirut, apparently a track based on hois personal experience when hosted by a Palestinian family when his car wrecked in the Middle East..
No Ca Ira at all MRGD, you are right.

Highlights of the set list are:
1. Set the controls for the Heart of the Sun.
Snapshots from the "Arnold Layne" original b&w beach video footage
2. Shine on you Crazy Diamond.
Once again and again, Syd's (bored to death) "goned pictures", but with a fantastic shooting that probably came from Carl Sagan's TV Series "Cosmos".
3. Comfortably Numb
That "Stoned-Doomed" guy...
Anyway...See you there
HIGH VIBRATIONS GO ON...

Too bad he's not coming here... Though, when you think about it... He
might be frightened. Who knows how our people would react to his "Each
Small Candle" lyrics. Some people are quite stubborn, and might take
offence at that...

He must be arriving Lima in this moment, somehow the plane number was filtered and a huge group of fans must be there right now.
He may go to Macchu Picchu tomorrow and back for the concert on Monday.

It was a shame, the Minister of tourism (Who did nothing except charge the concert with extra taxes because "it's not cultural" according to the law) went to the Press conference, and made Roger put on a t-shirt promoting Macchu Picchu as one of the modern 7 wonders, to what he agreed very gently.
Roger said he wanted to go to Macchu Picchu today but all commercial airlines were full, he asked her (The minister) if she could help, but she stayed quiet.
Really embarrasing, that's why nobody likes politicians.

Just arrived from the show AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I promissed some photos, but was very hard, when Roger received a group for autographs cameras weren't officially allowed (Ropger made an exception and was very nice) but before the concert the security took the bateries from the cameras, I managed to get one extra battery set in the shoes (peruvians are very resourcefull).
The photos are from row 9 but not good enough, at least to have an idea.
Trying to focus the camera before the show, I'm at the right side and my friend Martín at the left..
The show starts
The show goes on!!!
Of course DSOTM!!!
Kiliminster, Snowy, Roger and Andy Fairweather-Low
The whole band
Sorry for the quality, but the seccurity was really a pain in the arse, did my best but I'm not a photographer.
Don't miss the show, it's worth.

Short Review of the Concert
After months of expectation and doubts because Perú is not the center of Rock music, Roger Waters played this Monday 12 before about 15,000 devoted fans who never sat down, this was the biggest Prog concert ever, it would be futile to describe the concert and spoil the experience but I will mention some specially emotional moments.
Mother was simply amazing, the wonderful voice of Katie Kissoon with a 15,000 souls chorus impressed everybody, thanks to the big screen we could see her face visibly touched, Roger was amazing.
Shine on You Crazy Diamond: Another chance for the audience to sing all the track with Roger, everybody was moved.
Great Gig in the Sky: All the audience was moved with the amazing interpretation by Carol Kenyon, the best one I ever heard since Claire Torry, but this wasn’t all, the whole Dark Side of the Moon was enjoyed by the audience, people was thrilled.
Another Brick in the Wall: Performed with a chorus of 20 students from Cambridge School in Lima, this time the audience went crazy.
Comfortably Numb: Probably because it was the last song and we all knew it and also being a favorite was simply impressive, people didn’t sung it, we all shouted until we lost our voices, my favorite moment in the concert.
Of course tracks like Perfect Sense and Leaving Beirut from Roger’s personal albums were also enjoyed by the audience, the effects were incredible, Roger gave everything from him, Andy Fairweather-Low, Jon Carin, Snowy White, PP Arnold and of course Graham Broad making our bodies tremble with the deep sound of his drums and all the staff were absolutely impeccable.
A Couple of opinions of two friends that were there:
An amazing, unbelievable and very touching night ! the long awaited moment tear us down with the state-of-the-art sound system and the HUGE screen bombing out doses of musical pleasure. WHAT A NIGHT !! WHAT MUSIC ! WHAT SHOW !! For a while, thousands of pleased Peruvians were through a steady tidal of feelings. Roger Waters and his band rocked the crowd away during the almost 3 hours of the gig...a note to remark...NOBODY WAS SEATED...!! many thanks Roger, many thanks Pink Floyd. Marco Silva Navarrete

And the second one:
Mi ingles es extremandamente malo y basico, siento mucho no poder colaborar. Pero si tuviera q decirlo en castellano te diria q aunque no tengo mucho con q comparar, me parecio el mejor q vi (superior al de U2 q vi en argentina) un concierto emocionante, magistralmente ejecutado y con Waters enchufado con el publico. Varios momentos vibrantes, Sheep, anotyher brick, pero me quedo con el momento en el q canto The Fletcher memorial home......todavia el duele no?
Martin
Translation:
My English is extremely basic but if I had to say it in Spanish, I will tell you that even though I don't have much to compare with, it is the best one I ever saw (Better than U2 in Argentina).
Emotional concert, perfect interpretations with a Waters completely plugged with the audience. Several touching moments, Sheep, Another Brick in the Wall but I stay with the moment he sung The Fletcher Memorial Home.....Still hurts No?
|
Everybody enjoyed it.
Those who have the chance.......GO, it’s an experience you will never forget Iván

Ivan, glad you enjoyed it so much - knew you would. It would be nice to put all our reviews on one thread [there's also a 'live performance review ' thread], only so people don't have to access different threads. For something so good, we don't want anyone interested to miss out.

It was magnificent. The only bad thing was my location: I had lawn so the stage was literally half a mile away but the screens helped... when "In the Flesh" started sounding, MY flesh almost collapses....Great concert, I advice anybody to go to this concert. Just the rendition of all DSOTM is enough, but if you add "Mother", "SOYCD", "WYWH", a couple songs I don't know that much about, BRICK pt II and Comfortably Numb, there's just no excuse if this tour passes near your town and you don't go... shame on you!!!
