subject: Roger Waters Tickets - The Wall Tour [print this page] The Wall has been previously performed live in its entirety by Roger Waters just 31 times including Pink Floyd's 1980-81 tour in support of the album. A spectacular Roger Waters solo staging and performance of the rock opera in July 1990, celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall, drew nearly a half million fans to the Potsdamer Platz.
Roger Waters' The Wall North American Tour, produced by Live Nation, will open September 15 in Toronto and runs through December 14 at the Anaheim Honda Center (please see full itinerary following).
Originally released in November 1979, The Wall was America's top-selling album of 1980, is one of the top-selling double albums of all time, and is still in the U.S. Top 5 best-selling albums of all time.
The Wall was made into a metaphorical musical film, directed by Alan Parker with screenplay by Roger Waters, in 1982.One of the most profoundly influential albums in the history of recorded music, The Wall continues to affect pop culture while resonating with generations of music fans.
Roger Waters has kept up a steady performing schedule, and he's just announced that he will launch a big spectacle with a 30th anniversary tour for Pink Floyd's "The Wall" this fall (it will reach San Jose's HP Pavilion on Dec. 6).
He'll be performing "The Wall" in its entirety, but fans won't be hearing any new music from Waters - he hasn't put out an album in almost two decades.
That's not because of a lack of creativity, Waters insists.
"I have a ton of songs," he said in a recent interview. "Some of them are recorded, and some of them are half recorded, and I keep promising myself that I'm going to find a collaborator and work on them and put them together in some kind of coherent form. I suspect I will do that some time in the near future. But it's strange how time keeps clicking away. And each page turns faster than the last, in my experience."
Whether Waters, 66, puts out an album remains to be seen, but he has plenty of other things to occupy his time. He recently spoke about "The Wall," politics and more.
