DonnaWanna Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Waters Bringing 'Dark Side' To North America As expected, Pink Floyd principal Roger Waters will tour North America this fall and will be performing the band's classic 1973 album "Dark Side of the Moon" in its entirety. Beforehand, Waters will spend the summer touring Europe, beginning June 2 at the Rock in Rio festival in Lisbon. The North American tour, Waters' first since 2002, will get underway Sept. 6 in Holmdel, N.J., and hit arenas and outdoor amphitheatres. The band will include longtime sidemen Andy Fairweather Low and Snowy White on guitar, drummer Graham Broad and Waters' son Harry on Hammond organ. Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason will make a guest appearance at Waters' July 14 show in Nevers, France, but at deadline is not confirmed to join the band at any additional shows. Sans Waters, Pink Floyd performed "Dark Side of the Moon" in full for the first time during its 1994 tour in support of "The Division Bell." With Waters back in the fold, the band performed the "Dark Side" tracks "Breathe" and "Money" as part of its four-song set at Live 8 last summer. Here are Roger Waters' North American tour dates: Sept. 6: Holmdel, N.J. (PNC Bank Arts Center) Sept. 8: Mansfield, Mass. (Tweeter Center) Sept. 12-13: New York (Madison Square Garden) Sept. 15: Wantagh, N.Y. (Jones Beach) Sept. 16: Camden, N.J. (Tweeter Center) Sept. 18: Auburn Hills, Mich.

Probably the closest I'll get to seeing a Floyd show ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
