<\/div>\n

In 2017, Roger Waters<\/a> launched a lengthy tour, his first in four years, that came to a total of 156 shows \u2014 and, more important, incorporated more of his Pink Floyd<\/a> work than ever before. Waters will commemorate those historic shows with a new concert film<\/a>, Roger Waters: Us + Them,<\/em> to be released digitally June 16th.<\/p>\n

Co-directed by Waters and his longtime collaborator Sean Evans, the 135-minute film was shot in Amsterdam and the U.K., and, like the shows themselves, is dominated by songs from the classic Floyd albums The Dark Side of the Moon<\/em>, Wish You Were Here<\/em>, and The Wall.<\/em><\/p>\n

For fans, the biggest surprise of the tour was the inclusion of a large chunk of songs from 1977\u2019s rarely performed Animals. <\/em>(Some of those songs, like \u201cPigs [Three Different Ones],\u201d took on a new context in the world of the Trump White House.) Like the shows themselves, Us + Them<\/em> documents the tour\u2019s most mesmerizing production trick: a recreation of the Battersea Power Station and inflatable pig from the cover of Animals<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The digital version of the film will include two additional tracks, the Floyd classic \u201cComfortably Numb\u201d and Waters\u2019 own recent solo track \u201cSmell the Roses.\u201d Release dates for DVD and Blu-ray versions will be announced shortly.<\/p>\n

Given how many Floyd songs Waters resurrected on that tour, the timing of the announcement makes a striking bookend to comments Waters made about his old band earlier this week. In a video post on May 18th, Waters claimed his former colleague David Gilmour would not permit any promotion of Waters\u2019 work on the Pink Floyd site. \u201cI think he thinks because I left the band in 1985 that he owns<\/em> Pink Floyd, that he is<\/em> Pink Floyd, and that I\u2019m irrelevant, and that I should keep my mouth shut,\u201d Waters said in the video. \u201cAll right. We\u2019re all welcome to our opinions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Waters\u2019 2020 tour, This Is Not a Drill, was scheduled to start in July but has been postponed until next year due to the coronavirus outbreak. Rescheduled dates have not yet been announced.<\/p>\n
