Roger Waters Performs Opus The Wall
The phrase "visually stunning" is overused in show business, but a more appropriate description for the performance put on by former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters is not to be had.
Once again, San Diego will be bypassed by a major tour in favor of multiple dates in the Los Angeles market. Three shows were performed on November 29, 30, and December 5, and if you want to see this show there are two left in Anaheim on December 13 and 14.
Playing his opus The Wall in its entirety for the first time since Pink Floyd's 1980 tour (Waters performed it in a one-off in Berlin on July 21, 1990 to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall eight months earlier), Waters was freed of the constraints of sharing the spotlight with his former band mates and took center stage.
Waters's solo version of The Wall has evolved into an anti-war, anti-corporate message, even slamming Apple's "iEverything" products by displaying the words like "iLead" next to an image of pigs, "iFollow" next to sheep, "iTerror" next to an image of Osama Bin Laden, and "iPay" next to gravestones. In each case the images are shown wearing iPod-like headphones.
All in all, a perfectly executed, very moving performance. Everything you would expect from the former Pink Floydian.
- Concert: Roger Waters
- Date: November 29
- Venue: Staples Center
- Seats: photo pit
