Former Pink Floyd front man Rogers Waters is bringing Dark Side of the Moon to America this summer. He will perform the album live in its entirety for the first time since leaving the band. Pink Floyd, without Waters, did it in their 1994 The Division Bell tour. Waters’ touring band will include longtime sidemen Andy Fairweather Low and Snowy White on guitar, drummer Graham Broad and Waters’ son Harry on Hammond organ.
I’m not sure why I’m blogging this other than the fact that I think Roger Waters was once one of the most important musicians alive. Dark Side of the Moon was a masterpiece of an album, with an integral theme running throughout. If you have only heard it on CD, I highly recommend listening to it on vinyl with a good turntable -- the aural depth is amazing.
Egos and money destroyed Pink Floyd in the end, but not before they made some amazing albums. Floyd drummer Nick Mason will join the show for some dates in Europe.
