Roger Waters Tickets : Again In The Wall Live Tour 2010

The Wall (1979) is an album highlight more of a title. With its 40 million dexemplaires sold, it is part of the top 5 best sellers ever recorded. Partly autobiographical, it tells tale of a musician at the peak of success in full existential crisis. The single "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 was the leading Hitparade in over 20 countries.

The Wall requires an impressive production that has been redesigned to give him all her splendor and extravagance especially after the 80 Minds. Awesome video projections, a theatrical stage and impressive arsenal will be special effects processor with ambition and respect the service of music. A quadraphonic sound system at 360 degrees studied specifically for larger rooms offer maximum comfort hearing.

"The music and lyrics of the new tour will be loyal to the former, but cest the interpretation to be different."

In a recent news item on Foxnews/online, subsequently abridged in The London Evening Standard, Abraham Foxman, head of the ADL,(Anti Defamation League) in the USA, accuses my new production of "The Wall" and by implication me, of anti-Semitism. A serious charge that demands a response. Had Mr Foxman come to my show before passing judgement and commenting publicly he might, I hope, have held his peace, as there is no anti Semitism in "The Wall" show.

The song to which he refers, "Goodbye Blue Sky", describes how ordinary people, military and civilians alike, suffer trauma in the aftermath of war. The visuals that accompany the song show waves of B52 bombers dropping various symbols from bomb bays on a war ravaged landscape. The symbols are: in no particular order, a Crucifix, a Hammer and Sickle, a Star of David, A Crescent and Star, a Mercedes sign, a Dollar sign, and a Shell Oil sign. Mr Foxman's concern was that potentially the juxtoposition of a Star of David and a Dollar sign might incite hatred of Jews. Contrary to Mr Foxman's assertion, there are no hidden meanings in the order or juxtaposition of these symbols.

The point I am trying to make in the song is that the bombardment we are all subject to by conflicting religious, political, and economic ideologies only encourages us to turn against one another, and I mourn the concommitant loss of life.

In so far as The Wall has a political message it is to seek to illuminate our condition, and find new ways to encourage peace and understanding, particularly in the Middle East.

Incidentally, being from England, I had never heard of the ADL until today, but I have googled them and I see from their mission statement of 1913 that their brief is not only to defend the Jewish people from defamation, but also, and I quote, " to secure justice and fair treatment to all citizens alike and to put an end forever to unjust and unfair discrimination against and ridicule of any sect or body of citizens". Perhaps we should all focus on that lofty ideal and stop cowering in our corners throwing stones at one another.
