![]() I completely understand people would want to hear some new stuff, particularly if it’s got context they get that. Because – and I’ve been thinking about this – if I do go out again, I’m not sure people would want me to, or I would want me to, write 2 hours of stuff nobody’s ever heard before, and then go and do it. Waters: No, what I would do is interweave old songs into the new narrative. Mettler: Would you do a full album sequence, as you’ve done before? Waters: It would probably be an hour of new theater and music, with probably nearly an hour of old music. Waters: I don’t see myself going out into stadiums again, but I could do an arena show where it’s more controllable. Mettler: Will your next tour be as big a production as The Wall was? US + US: MM and Waters after talking 4.0 and 5.1 in NYC, 09.15.15. When I sat down with Waters in person in New York in September 2015 to discuss Roger Waters – The Wall and the surround sound release of Amused to Death for Digital Trends, I also asked him what his future tour plans might be, and here’s how that line of questioning – most of it heretofore unpublished – went: It’ll be spectacular, like all my shows have been.” Probably 75% of it will be old material and 25% will be new, but it will be all connected by a general theme. “It’ll be a mixture of stuff from my long career, stuff from my years with Pink Floyd, some new things. “We are going to take a new show on the road the content is very secret,” said Roger Waters in a press statement. The title is, of course, derived from “Us And Them,” from the multimillion-selling, groundbreaking 1973 Pink Floyd album, The Dark Side of the Moon. Roger Waters – Us + Them will tour the United States and Canada, and will showcase highlights from Waters’ groundbreaking body of work. Tickets go on sale on Friday, October 21, 2016. ![]() The tour runs through the summer of 2017, and is promoted by AEG Live’s Concerts West. Roger Waters will return to North America in 2017 with a pioneering new tour, Us + Them, featuring classic Pink Floyd, some new songs, and solo work – and all in live quad, to boot. All in all: Roger Waters exudes for Us (and Them). ![]()
