Roger Waters

Roger Waters at Philips Arena

Why see Roger Waters?

this is not a drill

Following his spectacular, world-conquering The Wall Tour and 2017's controversial Us + Them tour, the iconic Roger Waters returns to the road in 2020 with a brand new trek; Roger Waters: This Is Not A Drill (also dubbed his First Farewell Tour). Talking about the show with Rolling Stone in 2019, Waters promised "It'll be a new show. It will be no-holds-barred, it will be even more political than Us + Them was political and humane." You have been warned.

A key creative force behind Pink Floyd, alongside Syd Barrett and then David Gilmour, Waters stands as one of the 20th century's most influential songwriters. On albums like Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon and Animals, Pink Floyd redrew the boundaries of rock music, and their many iconic tracks include 'Comfortably Numb', 'Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)', and 'Money'.

New Left Thriving

Many attest Roger Waters' dramatic rock pageant in Atlanta, Saturday, August 21, 2022 took them back to the New Left of the 1960s and '70s. But for those who have retained their Hippie values and remain active in social justice causes, Roger Waters' art show was another sign that we're still making major progress. Lean-muscled and agile as an athlete, Roger is a living symbol of the healthier world we're creating. His thick longish hair frames a face more handsome with age. His stage presence is thoughtful and wise, then vigorously animated with dramatic gestures. It's clearly Rogers' show; his band in low profile provides virtuoso rock precision. The lead guitarist's solos were stunning demonstrations of nuance and power. The drummer inserted unexpected triplets and other percussive surprises ranging from delicate to monstrous. Multi-media visuals pushed the show over the top and brought "wow"s from the huge crowd. The staging...there was no stage in the expected sense...was theater-in-the-round. Band close-ups were projected on 8 screens in a circle above the perfomance area. Now picture a 20-foot pig floating around the arena gliding eye-to-eye with the balcony guests, doing cartwheels and barrel-rolls over the floor seats. This was rock theater at its raucous, artistic, New Left best. Thank you, Roger! ... Read more

ATLANTA SHOW

Can’t say strongly enough how much I enjoyed this show. The optics were great. I hope at 78 I can still kick ass like Mr Waters. The tribute to Syd was especially moving. Don’t miss him!! ... Read more

Time management

Roger Waters and the band really delivered a good performance. However, the negatives: started 30 minutes late, way too much political posturing, 2 intermissions. I would not go again to this performance. T Mobile Arena was a nice venue. ... Read more
