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!

Tonight's concert in Miami was due to have a team of twelve drama participants from the Miami Beach Parks and Recreation Teen Club, assist Roger with Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2. The Greater Miami Jewish Federation stepped in and pulled the appearance of the teens from the concert, accusing Roger of alleged antisemitism, and in response, Roger subsequently shared the following video:

As you'll see from the video, Roger was not happy about this, finding the accusations hurtful, and also expressing his regret for the missed opportunity for the children who were due to perform. In the short time before the concert start time, some others were hurriedly arranged to be trained up in the performance requirements.

The concert itself went well; here's a post-show video from Roger's Facebook page:

We'd love to know in more detail from those attending how they felt the concert went. How did this change affect 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!
