Waters was quoted in stories at the time of the 30th anniversary of “The Wall” last November that he’d like to launch a tour of “The Wall.” Due to expense and staging complexities, Pink Floyd’s original tour in 1980/81 only played a handful of venues around the world.
Waters also performed “The Wall” with an all-star cast of more than 100 on July 21, 1990, at Germany’s Potzdamer Platz, site of the former Berlin Wall. Nearly a half-million people attended the show, which was a charity event for the Memorial Fund for Disaster Relief. That concert was turned into an album and concert video, “The Wall Live in Berlin.”
The last time Waters was out, he performed Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” in its entirety.
