Their music has remained relevant and powerful. It's one of those things in which the total equals more than the sum of its individual parts (players).
It always mesmerizes me how 4 young lads in their 20s were able to capture, master and represent such a deep understanding of life, death, politics, society. We need this in music and arts in general today more than ever.

I went to one of Roger 's The Wall shows years ago, and it was so good I drove 6 hours the next day to see it again on its next stop. 12 hour round trip was absolutely worth it. Just these 6 minutes this morning has made my day, and it's only 8am.
God I really wish I could have seen one of those shows. Then again, at the time, I was 8 (at the end of the tour) and I had no idea what a Floyd was or which one was Pink.

Front row center stage at his Tampa show in 2017. He came down and shook everyone's hand. It was so cool. It was an incredible show. My husband had just come from the show in New Orleans. He calls from the road and asks me if I'd like to see Rog in Tampa and if I could be packed and ready by the time he got home. He'd booked a room at the Hard Rock and gotten us front row seats. It was really sweet because I had never been to a concert before so it was special.
5 rows from the stage Little Caesars arena, Detroit Michigan. I believe it's the 5th show on this is not a drill. 4th time seeing him for me. Absolutely love it
The whole arrangement was impressive. In the beginning I wondered if it really was live. They must have worked hard to get that sound of the originals so close. The actual performance made it clear though. Hat off!
I am 18 and discovered Pink Floyd’s music a few years ago. Even though I am young, I am so glad that I was able to connect with the music while Roger Waters is still alive and performing!
I also discovered Floyd in my teens - a long time ago, but still well after they had stopped performing together - and it has always been with me. I'm happy to hear that it still resonates.
I just turned 19, my father introduced me to Pink Floyd when i was 13, by putting on the division Bell cd, putting on Poles apart and skipping to the solo, since that day i have listened to Pink Floyd almost every day. They are the greatest, Ever. I went to a roger waters concert in 2018 and damn, when the factory shown in the album cover came down during the ‘’Animals’’ sequence of the show. Idk man you just had to be there. Greatest experience of my life.

Rogers Waters has aged as gracefully as his majestic Pink Floyd songs have. I have listened to these songs countless times over and they hold up to a timeless standard.
Dave Kilminster is one of the best known secrets in the business. I played a set with him in Chelmsford in 2009, and he'd already been in Roger's band for a decade by then.. It was actually a jazz band, no singer, just jamming. Dave has got some amazing jazz chops, too. He was playing rhythm brilliantly.
@@LoyalOpposition well of course, i mean the man jams with some of the most renowned guitarists and artists in the prog music scene, Guthrie Govan, Steven Wilson
I saw Roger twice in my hometown Brisbane Australia. First with Doyle Bramhall iii and then with Dave Kilminster. DB was more theatrical (and sang Dave's vocals) but DK was also an awesome guitarist.
Note also the amazing Dave Kilminster. Among Britain's finest guitarist musicians. I am fortunate to have seen him twice on Steven Wilson tours and once with Roger Waters.
I saw Roger Waters & his amazing band, perform “Roger Waters - The Wall LIVE!” at Manchester Arena, Vector Arena (In New Zealand, my home), both were Indoor Venues & I also saw him perform the same concert at Wembley Stadium, to 70,000 people. All concerts were extraordinary & the stage production was mind boggling & the sound quality, perfect. I would expect nothing less from Roger Waters! 😎👍🇳🇿👻
I had the honor of being asked to prepare my BCNY students for a number of Roger’s live performances when he’d come to NY for the Wall segments around 15 years ago. Seeing those kids faces as they hit the stage of Madison Sq Garden was a moment I’ll never forget. Thanks Roger! Keep rockin’! ✊🏾
The Wall is a double album with only two good songs on it, you could whittle it down to a single, maybe an EP if you're really pushing it. It's almost entirely filler.
@@scottdelong1 lol, loads of people dislike the Wall, get over it. The other members of Pink Floyd besides Roger Waters don't even like it. It's got a sinister energy to it, just as Roger Waters himself is a dark type of person, he's been compared to Stalin by his band mate. I think the Wall is overrated, sure The Final Cut is even worse.
It's so great to see the legendary Jon Carin up there on keys and vocals. He's an epic member of Pink Floyd, David Gilmour and Roger Waters solo bands.

Dave Kilminster's first tour I think.. He's been with Roger for over 23 yrs. Excellent guitarist. I saw him in a small club in Chelmsford when I was traveling, and there were no more than 15 people in the club, jazz improv, no singer.. I got to sit in on drums. Maybe I'll upload it onto my channel.
Damn it’s so hard to not crave more after just one song. Can’t wait to see the new tour. The most magical rock concert out there this year. Don’t miss out folks, this man isn’t going to do this forever❤️🙏🏼

The absolute best concert I've seen in my 55 years was Roger Waters "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" just after they split up in 1987. And that was just a few weeks before I saw Pink Floyd. They were my second favorite. It was amazing. But I was in college and eating lots of mushrooms while listening to Rogers album over and over. A buddy would turn on huge black lights, put on a blond wig, pick up his white guitar play a little, dance with a mannequin while we sat around the room tripping for months before the concert. So maybe that influenced why it was so great. We all saw it together. Which we saw every concert back then. At the old Omni in Atlanta. Long gone now. But wonderful memories. Saw Tom Petty then too and he could control the crowd better than anyone! Great time at that place. Rogers the best. They both said they split because they each wanted to go in the direction those two albums went. They were very different so it's understandable. But you always think what could've been. ✌️
@@traverhart2169 Ain't it though! I hate it only had the one mainstream song and it didn't take off. I listen to it all the time and still love every second. After hearing they each had a different direction for the band and seeing both albums live I totally understood why they split. Never felt that with any other band breaking up. Waters is a real musical genius. And I've studied music since I started trumpet in the 4th grade. Which would've been 1976. Went right through college and love music. But I couldn't touch anything near the man.
If you saw him on the Pros and Cons tour it must have been in 1984 or 1985. But then you couldn't possibly have seen Pink Floyd only weeks later. The Radio K.A.O.S. tour, on the other hand, was in 1987, same year as Pink Floyd's comeback with Momentary Lapse of Reason and subsequent tour, so are you sure that it wasn't the Radio K.A.O.S. tour?
@@sindrebruset4906 no. I graduated Highschool in 85. 85-86 was 1st year in a dorm. This was second year when I was in a 4 bedroom Apt with 3 Senior roommates. I think it was that fall. And it was the momentary lapse of reason tour with the beds and bulbs on the cover. In concert it was the first time they had the round screen behind them rimmed with light's. Did the usual pig over the people and all. It was a very good album. If you measure success by air play. And it was a great show. But I learned then Roger Waters was the musical genius of the group. Anything before that Roger was still part of the band. I think Pink mentioned something like, "part of us aren't here tonight, but we're still going to rock the house" stuff. The crowd liked it. Waters never said a word. I just had become so enamoured with a group of friends, listening to it every night in a buddy's Apt when we were friends. It was an amazing couple of week's. I still have T-shirts somewhere like all the shows I went to then. Think they all said 87 tour. So your off a couple of years.
I work at a college that was lucky enough to host his rehearsals for the tour starting in a few days. Tn he gave a live rehearsal for about 600 ppl and I will attest that the new tour will be amazing!! Such a great blend of classic Floyd and new Waters music!!
@@beeragainsthumanity1420 I got 2 decent tickets in Phoenix for around 380 total. Seats were halfway up the lower level and right in the middle. Not sure if I'm going or not.
Saw Roger perform The Wall Live in Yankee Stadium a few years back. That was very special. Have tickets to see him at MSG later this summer. A creative genius.
After 45 years of concerts and Pink Floyd 3 times, it is ABOUT TIME latenight put on some classic music!! Even if Roger did break up the band, he wrote everything!!!
i'm super jealous haha, i was born in 2006, so unfortunately i couldn't see any pink floyd concerts since rick wright died in 2008. so i'm going to do my best to go to the roger waters tour !!
Roger Waters puts on the best show I have ever seen. My friends and I even traveled a handful of hours to see him in far away places a few times. Words won't do it justice. It's not just a concert - it's an experience. I also felt a strong emotional connection with Roger Waters every time I saw him.
He wasn't the singer for Pink Floyd, nor did he have a big impact on their musical sound. Even the cover art of DSOTM had nothing to do with him. He was literally just a crummy bass player who Pink Floyd replaced 40 years ago. He sounds awful, stop hallucinating on lsd when you go and you will quickly realize. 😢
Hello there, I find it really odd writing to you because I don't usually chat with fans but After reading your comment on my fan page, I realized how much you like and follow my page. Thanks for your support and positive vibes .
Dear Roger, I love Pink Floyd. Your music is so good for tripping. Don't stop til you drop. Keep on keeping on. By the way, I'm 74 yo. Time does not alter, etc.
: I went to say thanks for all the warm comments and likes...oh well since I go too many massages over at my blue print account so I decided to isolate myself here and reach at to few of my fans without you I wouldn't have been here today kisses 💋 to your lovely heart
Watching this for like the 5th time.. Ready to see this tour in the round ..With what Roger has said himself..The visuals will be spectacular.. And Dave Kilmister is one slick guitarist...
I picked up a copy of Radio K.A.O.S. On vinyl this weekend, it’s from 1987. I really hadn’t heard it before, it led to Pros and Cons of Hitchiking, The Final Cut, The Wall…and eventually Dark Side of the Moon. My friend and I spent the entire Sunday reviewing his career. Amazing to have this show up today.
@@fatimasalakovic9985 I'll take his last "Is This the Life We Really Want". His only album where he gave production to someone else....and I'd say it is better for it. Although "Perfect Sense" live is EPIC!

@@PreacherAtArrakeen Wasn't born with a silver spoon and speaks out at the foreign occupation of Palestine ..and put a lot of money into the Julian Assange Campaign ?
@@popjaw1andOnly I did an interview with him once, and he started by saying, "Please use my actual name, David. Everyone loves to call me Dave, but no one calls Bowie or Crosby "Daaaaaaaaave" (he said it in a funny Cheech and Chong way)... But he's right - no one has ever said "Dave Bowie", or "Dave Crosby".. Maybe I'll upload it onto my channel.
Egads, that took me back! I saw "The Wall" in concert on Long Island so long ago. I'd been to many other Bands' concerts before, but never experienced anything like The Wall. That was truly an EXPERIENCE. The movie was great, but, really, you had to be there.... 😲🤩😊💯
@@Vermoulian what I don’t get is why he sang all it all it’s just another brick in the wall height pitched ??? He tries to sang the same pitch as the girls
Mine, too, and I was born in the 80s! I can't listen to music made in my lifetime. Movies, too.. Just not good enough. I'm listening to Yoshiko Sai, another unknown in the US, but all her 70s albums are on RUclips..
I’ve seen him twice (and a third time coming in August). I’ve never seen a more spectacular visual presentation than his, in addition of course to the incredible music.
He is excellent like always doesn’t matter how old is he,long live dear Rogers i grow up with your music and i enjoy it till today and I love you 😘 much,👍👍🙏🙏🤝🕊🌹
@@jismism9515 Then you really missed it.. Roger said, "There is no 'Us vs. Them' - we're all in it together.. It's satire" - but like millions, some are too lazy to learn before typing.
@@LoyalOpposition Gotcha & understood; But as a 'satirical' comment, u missed my point as well - Touche. RW is one of THEE greatest lyricists of all time, but honestly - some of his political meanderings are total BS / ie: Why is he TELLING bands to not play Israel? (etc etc)
For those wondering if they should try to attend one of his shows,..... his last two tours have had the best, BEST sound quality I've ever heard in my many years of show production and doing sound myself. Always a great show!
I was FLOORED when i heard the firsts seconds of “Breathe” on the last tour, sincerely i have never experienced anything similar to the sound quality that Roger brings to his concerts.
aint it ? the pros and cons of hitchiking he had a holophonic system and there were speakers EVERYWHERE in the venue . in brain dammage top hats laughing was flying around in circles in the rafters ... the end of welcome to the machine the elevator sound was really something and it raised up and shot thru the roof . it was about a foot thick and it was oscillating liek a chorus , you could really feel it . i was tripping but ... it was real .
Oh dear, didn't anyone tell Mr Colbert not to shake Roger's hand? Music was epic as always. Seeing this tour in July. I'm guessing it might be his last tour ever? Wouldn't miss it for _anything_ ...... his band lineup is just amazing. I've had Pink Floyd for 50 years and I'm so greatful, more now than ever. We are truly staring into the abyss....... and it's staring back!
I played my Dark Side of the Moon album until it wouldn’t play anymore.. then my cassette tape, then my CD… just none better.. NONE!! Thanks for having him on.. he’s still rockin’!
This is incredible! I may not be from that time back in the day but Everytime I hear some damn good music like this doesn't matter Pink Floyd all the way to Zeppelin it makes me so happy 😊

Going to the show in DC in August. This reassures me that I made the right call on hanging onto my tickets from the postponed 2020 show. Amazing performance.
@@TheMonroemomma I think note for note he was on point with the solo but David has a subtle smoothness to his playing that guy doesn't have. I can't put into words what the difference is but its there
What for? That ship has sailed long time ago. Rick is now dead long ago and anyone else seems to be happy with what’s he doing as long as it lasts. The guys are in their late 70s. They let the (great) past be as is and that’s what they do.
@@bbandthesv He hardly played on The Wall. Keyboard/synth parts were also played by Freddy Mandell, Gilmour (yes he did), Waters (VCS3) Bob Ezrin and James Guthrie. Don't get me wrong: he's one of my idols. And he probably did the more important parts on The Wall.
He was the force that drove the band apart. He is also the most antisemitic celebrity of all time. Dude would open for Hitler, but he was just a baby during the holocaust.
He looks wonderful sounds wonderful I love David I love Roger I love them all and I'm gonna be there in Pittsburgh July 6th I'm in tears right now this is what I need thank u thank u thank u
no matter if you're a david or roger guy
just hearing Pink Floyd still being played in 2022 is great
Their music has remained relevant and powerful. It's one of those things in which the total equals more than the sum of its individual parts (players).
im a pinkfloyd guy ... syd / david / roger does not matter ... its all fucking great
I’m both…sorry for their rift
Roger is awesome but Syd & David were 2 of my biggest guitar influences.
Fabulous!!
He’s almost 80 and he’s still rocking it!
That McCartney dude is 80 and still rocking it, but yes, Roger is still very much getting it done.
Married 5 times - he probably can't stop recycling his greatest hits for cash.
His anti-war, anti-inequality, anti-oppression message has remained consistent. No cliché-filled love songs from Roger.
Making music/creativity just puts you into that ageless, eternal state. Wouldn't be a bad subject for our public education.
. Not the only one! Just look at Paul McCartney, just made 80.
I find it so iconic that Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, Roger Waters and many others from the era of 60s/70s rock are still playing, it's just so cool
mary look on RUclips at METAL GIRLS REACT TO PINK FLOYD
Yes but rogers is lip syncing, the others still sing live

Lord knows how hard we tried to pry your little mind open & hopefully enlighten you. To help your feeble brain & damaged soul understand & realize that every single thing you think & speak about is 100% false & in fact to the absolute contrary. The lies & contradictions you speak of are absolutely true, except that you’ve been had and the real necessary fight you yearn for is actually on the other side brother. Don’t you see how they twist it on your dumb ass? Your emotions seem to have run amuck while your brain has stopped. Please understand & sit for awhile in some real soul searching thought, you deserve it. No need to respond with contempt or anger at this point. We’ve discussed it thoroughly and understand that your denial is totally beneath you, and we see right through you. Yep, completely full of shit 💩. Have a cigar old boy, you’re not gonna go far.
The absolute best concert I've seen in my 55 years was Roger Waters "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" just after they split up in 1987. And that was just a few weeks before I saw Pink Floyd. They were my second favorite. It was amazing. But I was in college and eating lots of mushrooms while listening to Rogers album over and over. A buddy would turn on huge black lights, put on a blond wig, pick up his white guitar play a little, dance with a mannequin while we sat around the room tripping for months before the concert. So maybe that influenced why it was so great. We all saw it together. Which we saw every concert back then. At the old Omni in Atlanta. Long gone now. But wonderful memories. Saw Tom Petty then too and he could control the crowd better than anyone! Great time at that place. Rogers the best. They both said they split because they each wanted to go in the direction those two albums went. They were very different so it's understandable. But you always think what could've been. ✌️
I have been a huge Floyd fan my whole life but Pros and Cons is, to me, one of the finest works of art ever created by man.
@@traverhart2169 Ain't it though! I hate it only had the one mainstream song and it didn't take off. I listen to it all the time and still love every second. After hearing they each had a different direction for the band and seeing both albums live I totally understood why they split. Never felt that with any other band breaking up. Waters is a real musical genius. And I've studied music since I started trumpet in the 4th grade. Which would've been 1976. Went right through college and love music. But I couldn't touch anything near the man.
If you saw him on the Pros and Cons tour it must have been in 1984 or 1985. But then you couldn't possibly have seen Pink Floyd only weeks later. The Radio K.A.O.S. tour, on the other hand, was in 1987, same year as Pink Floyd's comeback with Momentary Lapse of Reason and subsequent tour, so are you sure that it wasn't the Radio K.A.O.S. tour?
@@sindrebruset4906 no. I graduated Highschool in 85. 85-86 was 1st year in a dorm. This was second year when I was in a 4 bedroom Apt with 3 Senior roommates. I think it was that fall. And it was the momentary lapse of reason tour with the beds and bulbs on the cover. In concert it was the first time they had the round screen behind them rimmed with light's. Did the usual pig over the people and all. It was a very good album. If you measure success by air play. And it was a great show. But I learned then Roger Waters was the musical genius of the group. Anything before that Roger was still part of the band. I think Pink mentioned something like, "part of us aren't here tonight, but we're still going to rock the house" stuff. The crowd liked it. Waters never said a word. I just had become so enamoured with a group of friends, listening to it every night in a buddy's Apt when we were friends. It was an amazing couple of week's. I still have T-shirts somewhere like all the shows I went to then. Think they all said 87 tour. So your off a couple of years.
Excellent. My soul vibes with this. Thank you for your voice.
Wow! I totally was blindsided when an already fantastic Colbert episode ended with this! Just awesome. Best way to end my day.
Saw this tour last summer in Albany NY -- we'd held onto our tix since late 2019 and the wait was more than worth it!
I've been to Roger Waters concerts twice and will go to the next one (It's not a drill) in August.
His concerts are out of this world.
If you want to see an old neo-nazi Marxist dress up like Hitler and be racist towards jews, it's the place to be.
I work at a college that was lucky enough to host his rehearsals for the tour starting in a few days. Tn he gave a live rehearsal for about 600 ppl and I will attest that the new tour will be amazing!! Such a great blend of classic Floyd and new Waters music!!
Awesome! Looking forward to the tour! Don’t miss it! 🔊🎵⚒🌖
Wish I could afford it.
Even the nosebleed seats are stupid expensive.
@@beeragainsthumanity1420 I got 2 decent tickets in Phoenix for around 380 total. Seats were halfway up the lower level and right in the middle. Not sure if I'm going or not.
Saw Roger perform The Wall Live in Yankee Stadium a few years back. That was very special. Have tickets to see him at MSG later this summer. A creative genius.
Colbert said it right: the creative force behind Pink Floyd!
After 45 years of concerts and Pink Floyd 3 times, it is ABOUT TIME latenight put on some classic music!!
Even if Roger did break up the band, he wrote everything!!!
So cool. I saw Pink Floyd 45 years ago this week in Chicago at Soldiers Field.
i'm super jealous haha, i was born in 2006, so unfortunately i couldn't see any pink floyd concerts since rick wright died in 2008. so i'm going to do my best to go to the roger waters tour !!
I saw DSOTM in 1973 in Vancouver! But I saw Eltons Yellow Brick Road too. The only thing better was Led Zeppelin in 1974!
animals tour !
45 years ago, july7th, 1977, at the Montreal Olympic stadium.
Seen Floyd live in Sydney Australia, February 1988. I still got the concert ticket stubb.😎
I saw him July 8 in Toronto and it was fantastic. He is still rocking hard for sure.
Roger Waters puts on the best show I have ever seen. My friends and I even traveled a handful of hours to see him in far away places a few times. Words won't do it justice. It's not just a concert - it's an experience. I also felt a strong emotional connection with Roger Waters every time I saw him.
He wasn't the singer for Pink Floyd, nor did he have a big impact on their musical sound. Even the cover art of DSOTM had nothing to do with him. He was literally just a crummy bass player who Pink Floyd replaced 40 years ago. He sounds awful, stop hallucinating on lsd when you go and you will quickly realize. 😢
Dear Stephen, more like this please.
There are no others like Roger.
🤘🧙♂️🤘
All of the British Rogers are still rockin’ on - Daltrey of The Who, Taylor of Queen, and Waters of Floyd.🤘
Hello there, I find it really odd writing to you because I don't usually chat with fans but After reading your comment on my fan page, I realized how much you like and follow my page. Thanks for your support and positive vibes .
Dear Roger,
I love Pink Floyd.
Your music is so good for tripping.
Don't stop til you drop.
Keep on keeping on.
By the way, I'm 74 yo.
Time does not alter, etc.
@@nancyhalstead916 , can you text me on Instagram on my official Page?
I have seen Roger live 7times. He does put on the best live show. You don’t want to miss this tour
Seen him 4 times. Seeing him for a 5th time this August.
@@HEYitzED Same here dude! Show #5 in August and I can’t wait.
: I went to say thanks for all the warm comments and likes...oh well since I go too many massages over at my blue print account so I decided to isolate myself here and reach at to few of my fans without you I wouldn't have been here today kisses 💋 to your lovely heart
How many Hitler speeches have you watched? RW fan? I'm guessing you've listened to every recorded word Hitler ever spoke.
Roger Waters is more famous for being antisemitic than he is for his albums in the 70s.
DC in Aug. I can't wait. Waiting for 2 yrs. My tickets are lower level center ice for an In The Round concert. Best seats I have ever had.
Watching this for like the 5th time..
Ready to see this tour in the round ..With what Roger has said himself..The visuals will be spectacular..
And Dave Kilmister is one slick guitarist...
I picked up a copy of Radio K.A.O.S. On vinyl this weekend, it’s from 1987. I really hadn’t heard it before, it led to Pros and Cons of Hitchiking, The Final Cut, The Wall…and eventually Dark Side of the Moon. My friend and I spent the entire Sunday reviewing his career. Amazing to have this show up today.
Amused to death
Amused to Death is Waters’ greatest solo album, check it out
@@fatimasalakovic9985 Thanks, just rebuilt my old stereo for vinyl, finding all kinds of gems.
@@fatimasalakovic9985 I'll take his last "Is This the Life We Really Want".
His only album where he gave production to someone else....and I'd say it is better for it.
Although "Perfect Sense" live is EPIC!
Roger is the greatest English songwriter of all time to me. He can do no wrong x
U probably right
I’m so looking forward to this concert. I’ve had the tickets for two years. Thanks, Roger, for making awesome music.
Same hear..
Kansas City..

albert seeing on RUclips at METAL GIRLS REACT TO PINK FLOYD
@@rogerwatersfanspage2828 Fraud
Going to a Roger Waters concert in 2022 is the same as attending a nazi rally in 1942
Roger waters and Pink floyd still the greatest for me with their music and politics .
Rogers politics. Not the rest of the band…
@@Zermatt2024 THANK you
His politics? He's a limousine 'socialist' worth over 100 million.
@@PreacherAtArrakeen Wasn't born with a silver spoon and speaks out at the foreign occupation of Palestine ..and put a lot of money into the Julian Assange Campaign ?
@Rich Coast That's not even music. It's computer shit. Auto-tune, drum machine merde.
"The Wall" provided insights for a change in life - Thank You, Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, and the rest of the crew!
*Gilmour
@@popjaw1andOnly Thanks!
@@American-In-Mykolaiv You're welcome. Happens all the time. Poor David...😂
@@popjaw1andOnly I did an interview with him once, and he started by saying, "Please use my actual name, David. Everyone loves to call me Dave, but no one calls Bowie or Crosby "Daaaaaaaaave" (he said it in a funny Cheech and Chong way)... But he's right - no one has ever said "Dave Bowie", or "Dave Crosby".. Maybe I'll upload it onto my channel.
@@LoyalOpposition That's very cool, do it! Come back and let us know when it's available, please.
Egads, that took me back! I saw "The Wall" in concert on Long Island so long ago. I'd been to many other Bands' concerts before, but never experienced anything like The Wall.
That was truly an EXPERIENCE. The movie was great, but, really, you had to be there.... 😲🤩😊💯
Was there . Agreed.
My favourite tunes to crank up in my truck when driving! Having enough power to feel the music.
thank u The Late Show; Stephen Colbert, brought back memories. ACE ❤ thank u 😊
Interesting so see Roger playing guitar on this one. Great to see he is still giving great performances!
Unclear why he wasn't just playing bass---for the most part he was playing the bass line on his guitar!
@@Vermoulian what I don’t get is why he sang all it all it’s just another brick in the wall height pitched ??? He tries to sang the same pitch as the girls
You've not seen him that much then, he's often played guitar on his solo tours over the years.
He always plays guitar on Wish You Were Here like he did on the album. David played the leads.
@@glenncoomans8284 its just the way he sings. He strains his voice to get it out. He always sounds loud live.
Roger Waters is a legend. His music has had a huge positive impact on my life. I'm very happy he is still performing and looking well.
RW is a vile racist with a history of rude comments towards jews and people of color.
This is exactly what I needed right now. Marvelous. Thanks to all involved.
Are you thankful to Adolf Hitler? Roger Waters is extremely antisemitic.
This was the soundtrack of my teenage years, saw him live, hes a treasure
Mine, too, and I was born in the 80s! I can't listen to music made in my lifetime. Movies, too.. Just not good enough. I'm listening to Yoshiko Sai, another unknown in the US, but all her 70s albums are on RUclips..
His live sound is always incredible. It's going to be a great tour
The best artist ever with the best musicians that live in this whole round world!
I’ve seen him twice (and a third time coming in August). I’ve never seen a more spectacular visual presentation than his, in addition of course to the incredible music.
This tour was incredible! The visuals were 2nd only to those on his 2017 tour -- did you see that one?
@@tommyt1971 yes. Equally spectacular
Such a great, hard-rocking version!
He is excellent like always doesn’t matter how old is he,long live dear Rogers i grow up with your music and i enjoy it till today and I love you 😘 much,👍👍🙏🙏🤝🕊🌹
It's so weird, not seeing Roger Waters on bass!
Nothing new live...or in the studio.
It's weird seeing him without a swastika armband. Dude is a cringe antisemite.
LEGEND - So happy I got to walk the planet with this LEGEND
Anything that gives you these kind of feeling is worth the replay
Goddamn, that was outstanding. Way to go Roger! We need this message now more than ever.
Cheers to that!
Despite the low pitches bottoming out in the first verse, this performance kicks ass--that start and finish were both spectacular!
Rock on y'all. :)
My mother gave me The Wall for my 14th birthday. Wore that out as well as a second copy. Pure genius and showmanship.
Can't wait to see you guys, Saw every concert up until 94. Thank God your back.
More relevant now than ever.
Agree (in part) - but he's comin from a seperatist 'us v. them' slogan; Sorta like a self-righteous imposter imposing his views on his audience...
@@jismism9515 sounds like you would know better than anyone?
he is the Mort Sahl of Music.... Great on stage, and just as interesting and profound off the stage.
@@jismism9515 Then you really missed it.. Roger said, "There is no 'Us vs. Them' - we're all in it together.. It's satire" - but like millions, some are too lazy to learn before typing.
@@LoyalOpposition Gotcha & understood; But as a 'satirical' comment, u missed my point as well - Touche. RW is one of THEE greatest lyricists of all time, but honestly - some of his political meanderings are total BS / ie: Why is he TELLING bands to not play Israel? (etc etc)
For those wondering if they should try to attend one of his shows,..... his last two tours have had the best, BEST sound quality I've ever heard in my many years of show production and doing sound myself. Always a great show!
I was FLOORED when i heard the firsts seconds of “Breathe” on the last tour, sincerely i have never experienced anything similar to the sound quality that Roger brings to his concerts.
aint it ? the pros and cons of hitchiking he had a holophonic system and there were speakers EVERYWHERE in the venue . in brain dammage top hats laughing was flying around in circles in the rafters ... the end of welcome to the machine the elevator sound was really something and it raised up and shot thru the roof . it was about a foot thick and it was oscillating liek a chorus , you could really feel it . i was tripping but ... it was real .
That’s exciting, I’m going to my first show in july! Can’t wait!
@@anne8663 You're gonna LOVE it!!
Problem is… he doesn’t sing live anymore.
Oh dear, didn't anyone tell Mr Colbert not to shake Roger's hand? Music was epic as always. Seeing this tour in July. I'm guessing it might be his last tour ever? Wouldn't miss it for _anything_ ...... his band lineup is just amazing. I've had Pink Floyd for 50 years and I'm so greatful, more now than ever. We are truly staring into the abyss....... and it's staring back!
I played my Dark Side of the Moon album until it wouldn’t play anymore.. then my cassette tape, then my CD… just none better.. NONE!! Thanks for having him on.. he’s still rockin’!
This is incredible! I may not be from that time back in the day but Everytime I hear some damn good music like this doesn't matter Pink Floyd all the way to Zeppelin it makes me so happy 😊
Yeah, it was a pretty epic time for music.
I love this guy and this band so much. Thankful I fell in love them at their beginning and continue that love today and forever.
Thanks for the support and compliment.
Thanks for being a great fan. I hope you enjoy the show.

Top 5 bands of all time. Pink Floyd.
Even in a small studio, the spectacle that is PF is always superb.
Roger doing a tv show. Will miracles never cease. Cool
he's warming up and promoting the tour 👍
I’m not a Pink Floyd fan but I’ll be damned if there’s not a reason this song is iconic. I’m bobbin’ my head and tappin my foot. Great performance.
let the sunshine in, you pink floyd fan, you.
#ThatFatOldSun.🎸
He really enjoys playing these days…bravo Mr Waters…❤️
Roger still has it!! Going to see him in August!! Can't wait!
The man is a legend, and this is a great performance.
His antisemitism is blatant, why is such a racist allowed on TV? It's okay to be vile towards jews?
He's the most antisemitic singer in history, he's more or less a nazi.
If u call lip syncing and pretending to play bass on a guitar
@@stingerNWO what?
Nice to hear Roger singing this live instead of the lip syncing he’s done for the previous tours unless he just re recorded it haha,
If you want to call that singing.
Brilliant! I so enjoyed this! Always makes me happy and my day better! Thank you so much to everyone!😘🤠😜😎
Going to the show in DC in August. This reassures me that I made the right call on hanging onto my tickets from the postponed 2020 show. Amazing performance.
The greatest album ever made.
He's holding a guitar (which probably isn't even plugged in) to play the basslines 😂 classic Roger
You can clearly hear that guitar
Saw him in Pittsburgh a week ago… Awesome!!👍👍👍
He's in his 80's and still have the energy to keep on singing. Definitely a legend.
Love Roger and his View of the World how he expresses it in Music
But
Sad these Songs are STILL a Reflection of Our Lives Especially in America.
Guy absolutely nailed the guitar solo. I learned it when I was 15 about 37 years ago, from a guitar magazine. Loved playing it.
As a super David Gilmour fan, I kept waiting for the guy to be inferior. I could tell a slight difference but it was negligible. He was amazing!
Dave Kilminster is a great player. He's not Gilmour, but he does the solos very well.
@@TheMonroemomma I think note for note he was on point with the solo but David has a subtle smoothness to his playing that guy doesn't have. I can't put into words what the difference is but its there
@@TheFlowerGuys Soul.
@@TheMonroemomma 2 different souls.
We got tickets for Toronto July 9 😊👍
All we need is Floyd…Pink Floyd 🔥❤️🎸🤟🏻🎶
This is freaking awesome. Roger is the driving force of Floyd. I just wish they could put their problems behind and be the great band they were.
What for? That ship has sailed long time ago. Rick is now dead long ago and anyone else seems to be happy with what’s he doing as long as it lasts. The guys are in their late 70s. They let the (great) past be as is and that’s what they do.
It won't be the same without having Richard
@@bbandthesv He hardly played on The Wall. Keyboard/synth parts were also played by Freddy Mandell, Gilmour (yes he did), Waters (VCS3) Bob Ezrin and James Guthrie.
Don't get me wrong: he's one of my idols. And he probably did the more important parts on The Wall.
He was the force that drove the band apart. He is also the most antisemitic celebrity of all time. Dude would open for Hitler, but he was just a baby during the holocaust.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr Nonsense. If you don’t like him why are you here? To just leave a hate comment?
Amazing. His "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" tour in Mexico City is a must see.
That wasn’t a tour?
@@Hamer4114 no it was a one off show for free .
Thank you, Stephen and Roger!! 2 of my absolute favorites. I’ll finally be seeing you again, Roger- on the 6th of July in Pittsburgh. 🥰
So very greatful Hes still with us and in top form!
Love this band live…. Kilminster rocks!
Still sounds as good as when I heard it in 1979.
Really?
@@tippersdad5152 Yes. really. So that means he's probably just lip synching.
@@onjofilms clearly not lip syncing
@@onjofilms He's not lip-syncing here! Unfortunately he does so on the tour though.
I am not sure that his guitar is plugged in, but the vocals are definitely live here
He looks wonderful sounds wonderful I love David I love Roger I love them all and I'm gonna be there in Pittsburgh July 6th I'm in tears right now this is what I need thank u thank u thank u
2017 Minneapolis. That was when I saw Roger live and it changed my life!
