Perhaps most famously known for co-founding and playing bass guitar in the legendary 1960’s progressive rock band Pink Floyd, Roger Waters has pursued a solo career since the mid 1980’s when the band decided to split ways. While Pink Floyd are one of the most critically acclaimed bands of all time, it is hard to meet someone who hasn’t heard at least one of the bands songs – and knows it word for word. That’s where the excitement of the Us + Them Tour comes in. Roger Waters is about to travel North America on tour, playing some much loved songs from at least four different Pink Floyd albums. These albums include Animals, The Wall, The Dark Side of the Moon, and Wish You Were Here. With songs being played live from these four classic albums, the Us + Them Tour is one you surely don’t want to miss! Beside covering some of Pink Floyd’s greatest songs of all time, Roger Waters will be performing some of his latest solo work as well as his greatest hits since the mid 1980’s.
Since the release of his first solo album in 1984 titled The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, Roger Waters has since released three other albums. His albums ranged in popularity, with many mixed reviews over the last album, Ca Ira, which was released in 2005. The album was a strange one, which was much needed from the ex- Pink Floyd guitarist and vocalist, however the opera sound of the album was criticized for being too conventional and not risky enough. This year, Roger Waters is set to release his latest album titled Is This the Life We Really Want? By the sounds of the album title, Roger Waters seems to be channeling his inner Pink Floyd, which harnesses deep thought, psychedelic charm, and unthinkable musical combinations. We can’t wait to hear what this musical genius has up his sleeve this time!
We don’t yet know the exact date of the new album release, but we do know that it will come shortly after the U.S. Tour is underway. That means we don’t have to wait too long to hear some new sound!
Roger Waters has been on quite a few successful world tour’s since the break-up of Pink Floyd back in the early 1980’s. However, no tour seems to be quite as popular and talked about than the upcoming Us + Them 2017 Tour. With a set-list that is enough to bring out even the faintest Pink Floyd fans, the ticket sales and pre-sales have been so popular that adjustments have already been made to the tour – even though it hasn’t even kicked off yet! Due to the overwhelming demand for tickets, Roger Waters and the crew have had to add an incredible 11 more shows throughout North America. With double shows being played at different venues across North America, there are plenty of chances to jam along with thousands of fans to Wish You Were Here!
