Capacity: 19,758 Concert starts: 8pm Address of venue: Wylie Avenue, Pittsburgh PA, 15219. MAP Website: www.ppgpaintsarena.com COMMENTS Roger's new tour - THIS IS NOT A DRILL - has now been announced, and is a new production. As when his previous tour (Us + Them) was announced, details of what this new show will entail are brief; we suspect a new set list, and new presentation, and the image created to publicise the tour does note that the show will be "live in the round" - a departure from Roger's previous shows. Those who have attended - or have seen pictures/video of - Roger's previous tours, will know just how spectacular and moving this new production is likely to be, and how it is a show you really shouldn't miss! From comments Roger has made in recent interviews, it could be his final tour... For the regular sale of tickets, which starts on FRIDAY, JANUARY 31st at 10am (local time), CLICK HERE.

WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!
Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played!
The first proper show of the tour (there was a dress rehearsal at Bryce Jordan Center, University Park, Pennsylvania on Saturday, July 2nd) saw an enthralled crowd in Pittsburgh taking in the music, in a diverse and interesting set list, the spectacle, and the occasion itself. First nights are always fun, with everyone being in the same boat in terms of no knowledge of what is going to happen and when.
Initial reports are that the show was quite an experience, but as always, we value your first hand views on all the concerts - so if you went, please let us know your thoughts!
CONCERT PICTURES and COMMENTS by BD CONTRIBUTOR, Donald Bohach
Donald noted that "[Roger] played a new song called, 'The Bar'. He played at a piano. During the song he played footage of the Sioux Indian protest at Standing Rock Reservation. He said, "One day I'll record this and give it to all of you." I won't try to remember the lyrics correctly, but it is a ballad that is about shared loss and pain."
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!
