Pink Floyd cofounder plans to return to North America for 24 complete performances of classic album.
Roger Waters apparently had so much fun delivering complete live performances of Dark Side of the Moon last year that he wants to run it back.
The Pink Floyd cofounder said this week that he plans to return to North America for 24 shows this summer starting with a May 18 concert at the Sound Advice Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida, and ending July 14 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto.
Each show will feature two sets with Waters and his 10-piece band, the first of which will focus on early Floyd material and Waters' solo work, including tracks from his solo album Amused to Death. The second set will be a full performance of Dark Side, the legendary 1973 album that has sold more than 34 million copies worldwide, making it one of the top-selling albums of all time.
Waters, who cofounded the groundbreaking band with the late Syd Barrett in 1966, performed with the classic Floyd lineup--himself, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright--at 2005's Live 8 benefit concert, marking the first time the group appeared together since 1981.
