Roger Waters - Newport Folk Festival

Last night, Roger Waters headlined the Newport Folk Festival, in Rhode Island, USA. The performance was said - according to early reports - to have been excellent. We've got a review of the show, with some pictures, but in the meantime, here's a bit of detail of the appearance.

Waters was backed by My Morning Jacket who also filled the "unannounced" slot on Friday's Newport Folk schedule. MMJ did their own set before Waters came out with G.E.Smith and Lucius's Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig and opened with a new song, "Crystal Clear Brooks." Waters played piano on this debut, then moved to an acoustic guitar for the rest of the set.

Setlist: Crystal Clear Brooks, Mother, Bravery Of Being Out Of Range, Hello In There, Wish You Were Here (with Sara Watkins), Wide River To Cross (with Levon Helm's daughter Amy), Amused To Death, Brain Damage/Eclipse, Forever Young (with Amy Helm and Sara Watkins).

Roger Waters - Amused To Death advertising campaign in London, 2015To tie in with the worldwide release tomorrow of the 2015 edition of Roger Waters' Amused To Death, including as 5.1 surround sound mixes found on the SACD (Super Audio CD) and the Blu-ray editions, Roger's creative team have clearly been at work again, and London was the recipient of their efforts to ensure locals and visitors alike were made aware of Roger's 1992 opus.

The pictures here, below (supplied by our friends at Sony) show the BBC's London headquarters (coincidentally a stone's throw from where Roger recently unveiled, with Nick Mason, the plaque to the band's honour at the University of Westminster), and also (as if it needed clarification) the world famous Houses of Parliament next to the Elizabeth Tower (which houses Big Ben, the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock in the tower).

The picture at the top of this article shows what was seen this evening on a pavement near London Bridge... our thanks to Steve Frost for this particular picture.

Roger Waters - Amused To Death (2015 edition - 2LP vinyl picture discs)

Whilst we're sure you don't need reminding, the long awaited and highly anticipated 2015 editions of Roger Waters' 1992 album, Amused To Death, which come in a variety of editions, all boasting new artwork and packaging, will be finally with us on Friday (July 24th). As part of our coverage of this release, we are very pleased to let you know that, on that day, we will be posting an interview with a key person behind this release - and will also be offering a very rare and collectable prize as well!

The various iterations of the album are sure to be popular. Since news broke about James Guthrie's work on the album, demand to hear the surround version of ATD has been extremely high - with just one public airing at the Princeston university conference covered elsewhere on our site.

As a reminder, the 2015 editions of Amused to Death will be available in a variety of formats, as seen below.

The CD + Blu-ray edition, and the SACD edition, of Amused To Death both features the new 5.1 surround remix of the album in high definition. The artwork and packaging has been updated for 2015 by Sean Evans, the creative director of Waters' 2010-2013 The Wall Live tour and movie. The standard CD edition, as well as the vinyl editions, feature the newly remastered stereo mix of the album.
