Former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters has the biggest tour of 2012 at the year’s midpoint, as his live production of the classic ‘The Wall’ album moved the turnstiles at a major clip.
Up until recently, the only wall allowed in Boston’s Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, was the mighty Green Monster. That is until yesterday (July 1) when Roger Waters rolled in with a wall of his own. Building ‘The Wall’ of the Pink Floyd era double album variety in the historic ball park, Waters made quick work of the legendary stadium, making it his own musical playground.
Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason hadn’t listened to the band’s demos for ‘The Wall’ in over 30 years — but hearing those sessions again in preparation for the recently-released ‘Experience’ and ‘Immersion‘ box sets brought back a lot of memories.
In a recent interview to promote the Feb. 28 release of the ‘Immersion’ and ‘Experience’ editions of ‘The Wall,’ Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason put a few longstanding rumors to bed about the atmosphere during the sessions for their 1979 double-album.

As long as they keep talking, I'll keep hoping. Having missed every opportunity to see the show, I'm eager to see the remaining members get together. Still it looks like a long shot. Click here.
At long last, Pink Floyd are opening their vaults and will be releasing a deluge of unreleased material this fall. Not only will all 14 Pink Floyd studio albums get the remastered treatment, but plenty of live performances, demos and more will be released in deluxe editions of the band’s classic albums
Looks like a truce, if only for one gig. One song even. Then you have to figure in this was posted April Fools Day. I'm with the comments though; I don't think Waters does jokes. Click here for the
