Roger Waters “The Wall” Kicks Off Tonight

The highly anticipated Roger Waters – The Wall kicks off tonight in Toronto after years of preparation and months of build up. Released in 1979, Pink Floyd’s The Wall contains some of the band’s best known material including Comfortably Numb, Mother, Another Brick In The Wall (Pts 1&2) and Young Lust. Waters and the rest of Pink Floyd took The Wall on the road for 31 shows between 1980 and 1981 for a tour that lost lots of money due in part to its innovative production values.

Waters is on the cover of the latest issue of Rolling Stone and some of Brian Hiatt’s cover story as well as photos from the tour rehearsals are available now at the magazine’s website.  Ticket prices for the tour are extremely high but you’ll get plenty of arena theatrics for your money. Plus, maybe you’ll go to the show where David Gilmour joins his old band mate.

Rog has done a great job of keeping many of the details of the tour under wraps, yet a few details have emerged in both the RS article and elsewhere. For instance, we know that tonight Waters will bring the 25-student-strong Regent Park School of Music choir up to sing backup on Another Brick In The Wall. Hopefully the Toronto crowd will take some good videos of the show that we can share tomorrow.
