Pink Floyd
“Time has a way of making you behave !”, David Gilmour reminds me when recounting performing as a guest with R
oger Waters last year at London’s O2 Arena, but it could just as easily have been said by the surviving Pink Floyd alumni Nick Mason or Roger Waters , all of whom rejoin me for the conclusion of our two-part peek behind The Wall
and its definitive “Immersion” 7-disc box set . For instance , on the
10th anniversary of the Pink Floyd blockbuster , Roger Waters admitted
to me that Pink Floyd in 1980 had been guaranteed one million dollars per night
to perform The Wall on a stadium tour . “And I refused to do it
outdoors ,” Waters tells me in this week’s classic rock interview.” But
how can you do a show, that’s about the alienation you feel about doing
stadium shows , in a stadium ?”
Apparently Waters has reconciled that personal dilemma , because Friday in Santiago Chile he embarks on a 56 show The Wall tour of the Americas which includes multiple stadia stops ( nine times in Buenos Aires Argentina alone ) . And when the tour starts the North American leg May 1 in Houston , Roger Waters is scheduled for performing in the end zones in San Francisco May 11 , Los Angeles Coliseum May 19 , Chicago’s Wrigley Field June 8 , two nights at New York City’s Yankee Stadium July 6-7 , and Philadelphia July 14 . -Redbeard
