Roger's Us + Them tour:
"We are going to take a new show on the road, the content is very
secret," said Roger Waters. "It'll be a mixture of stuff from my long
career, stuff from my years with Pink Floyd, some new things. Probably
75% of it will be old material and 25% will be new, but it will be all
connected by a general theme. It will be a cool show, I promise you.
It'll be spectacular like all my shows have been.”
The announcement notes that "Roger Waters' legendary live performances
are renowned as immersive sensory experiences featuring high class,
state-of-the-art audio visual production and breathtaking quad sound.
This new tour promises to be no exception; following months of
meticulous planning and visionary craft, US + Them will inspire crowds
with its powerful delivery and take the audience on an unforgettable
musical journey."

WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!
Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played!
All good things must come to an end, and Sunday night saw the conclusion of the 2017 Roger Waters North American tour, with Rogers Arena in Vancouver host to the second of a brace of nights at the venue (with an appropriate name for Waters to perform in, it must be said...).
As a final show surprise, there was a change to the setlist, with recent addition Mother being dropped in favour of the concluding song suite of his recently released Is This The Life We Really Want? - Wait for Her, Oceans Apart, and Part of Me Died. This went down extremely well with the audience, and one wonders if the songs will become part of the set for when the tour resumes in January, in New Zealand.
First, here’s a video from the show from Roger’s official Facebook page…
We'd love to know from those attending how they felt the concert went. How was the show for you, if you were one of the fortunate ones to attend? Let us know what YOU thought!
YOUR HELP NEEDED! We want to cover Roger's concerts the best we can, to share the experience with everyone, especially those who won't be able to attend the shows. We'd love to see ANY pictures, tickets scans, reviews, newspaper reports, and anything else you come across for this show - we look forward to hearing from you!
