COMMENTS Roger's tour of The Wall arrives in Indianapolis - well known for the motor racing track also called The Brickyard. Perhaps Roger is stopping off here in case they are running low on these for building their wall? The RogerWaters.com presales have taken place, with advance tickets available to those who had registered their interest in particular cities. General sale tickets went on sale on November 14th at 10am through this link to Ticketmaster.com. Exact dates and outlets can be found via Roger's website. The public sale will also see a limited number of VIP packages made available for each show on the tour.

CONCERT REVIEW by BD CONTRIBUTOR, Sam Giacobbe Well, we are back and still recovering from the two shows [Chicago and Indianapolis]. The show at Wrigley Field was intense. Wrigley Field is a baseball stadium and the wall was stretched in the outfield from flag pole to flag pole... it was freaking huge. The show itself was outstanding - they were projecting live videos of Roger and the band members 'live' during the show on the left and right sides of the wall. The projections were absolutely incredible. The place was packed and rockin'... Roger did a new song and dedicated it to a young Brazilian student engineer that was going to school in London. He was the subject of mistaken identity and was shot by the London Police several times in the back of the head. Roger became very emotional when he was describing the incident that led him to writing this new song. Some of the projections were different from his North American tour in 2010 - they were much more graphic now. We stayed in Chicago over the weekend then headed out to Indianapolis on Sunday for the Monday night show with the tickets that I bought through Brain Damage to help with site running costs. This show was indoors and also awesome. The Wall was not as big but the sound was absolutely off the charts. Roger was so energetic... I don't know where he gets all his energy from night after night. What an incredible performer. The seats we had in Chicago were on the floor - center stage - row 14. The seats in Indianapolis were upstairs, so we were able to see the show from two separate views. Whatever we missed in the first show, we were able to see in the second show... and I still don't know if we saw everything because there is so much going on... This was our fifth show in 20 months, and I wish we were going to five more... seeing him is such an incredible experience. If anyone that is reading this has not been to a show... GO... you will NEVER regret it - it will last a lifetime with you... CONCERT REVIEWS and PICTURES by other BD CONTRIBUTORS Hopefully coming soon - we welcome all contributions! 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.
