Roger Waters

Roger Waters at Philips Arena

Why see Roger Waters?

this is not a drill

Following his spectacular, world-conquering The Wall Tour and 2017's controversial Us + Them tour, the iconic Roger Waters returns to the road in 2020 with a brand new trek; Roger Waters: This Is Not A Drill (also dubbed his First Farewell Tour). Talking about the show with Rolling Stone in 2019, Waters promised "It'll be a new show. It will be no-holds-barred, it will be even more political than Us + Them was political and humane." You have been warned.

A key creative force behind Pink Floyd, alongside Syd Barrett and then David Gilmour, Waters stands as one of the 20th century's most influential songwriters. On albums like Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon and Animals, Pink Floyd redrew the boundaries of rock music, and their many iconic tracks include 'Comfortably Numb', 'Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)', and 'Money'.

New Left Thriving

Many attest Roger Waters' dramatic rock pageant in Atlanta, Saturday, August 21, 2022 took them back to the New Left of the 1960s and '70s. But for those who have retained their Hippie values and remain active in social justice causes, Roger Waters' art show was another sign that we're still making major progress. Lean-muscled and agile as an athlete, Roger is a living symbol of the healthier world we're creating. His thick longish hair frames a face more handsome with age. His stage presence is thoughtful and wise, then vigorously animated with dramatic gestures. It's clearly Rogers' show; his band in low profile provides virtuoso rock precision. The lead guitarist's solos were stunning demonstrations of nuance and power. The drummer inserted unexpected triplets and other percussive surprises ranging from delicate to monstrous. Multi-media visuals pushed the show over the top and brought "wow"s from the huge crowd. The staging...there was no stage in the expected sense...was theater-in-the-round. Band close-ups were projected on 8 screens in a circle above the perfomance area. Now picture a 20-foot pig floating around the arena gliding eye-to-eye with the balcony guests, doing cartwheels and barrel-rolls over the floor seats. This was rock theater at its raucous, artistic, New Left best. Thank you, Roger! ... Read more

Hey... He's 79!!

I have seen Roger Waters 3 times over 35 years and he has definitely gotten more political with his shows. I saw The Wall tour in 2012 and that was my absolute favorite! Last nights show started 30 minutes late and the opening with Comfortably Numb was awesome. I'm amazed that at 79 he is still passionate about performing and even though it was political overkill I respect his dedication to what he believes in. Bottom line he seems to genuinely care about the earth and people. He was obviously touched and emotional with the audience and to me it was very genuine. He said quite a few times that he enjoyed being in Pink Floyd and all the great times back in the day. Gave a shout out to his wife and commiserated with the crowd and I found myself laughing at a few things he said. Very relatable and the end was especially charming by having a drink at the bar with the band and introducing each member and also giving a shout out to his 120 member behind the scenes crew. Very thoughtful. ... Read more
