Roger Waters has performed a “dress rehearsal” for the This Is Not A Drill tour and we can assume this will be the setlist.
Waters held the sneak preview for fans at Bryce Jordan Center, University Park, PA on Saturday 2 July. The first official show has now taken place in Pittsburgh. Watch fan footage here.
There is a new song, ‘The Bar’, performed on social media in 2021 by Waters. The song is about Julian Assange. The show also featured the
Roger is focused more on his solo albums this tour that the previous Us + Them’ tour. ‘The Powers That Be’ from the 1987 solo album ‘Radio K.A.O.S.’ had not been performed since 1999. The title track from Waters’ 2017 solo album ‘Is This The Life We Really Want’ is in for the first time.
Floyd’s closing chapters of ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ are being performed for the first time since 2002. ‘Sheep’ from ‘Animals’ is in the set for the first time since 2008 as is the ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ track ‘Any Colour You Life’.
What is interesting is that ‘The Wall’ tracks ‘Comfortably Numb’, ‘In the Flesh’ and ‘Run Like Hell’ are opening set one and two. Those tracks have traditionally been kept for the encore or end of set two.
