Roger Waters touring band play special show

Last Saturday night (December 4th), Venice used a day off from their performing duties as the backup singers on Roger Waters' "The Wall" tour to stage their annual Venice Christmas Concert in Santa Monica, CA. In attendance was (with the exception of Jon Carin) the entirety of Waters' touring band.

After delivering a blistering two hour set, Venice surprised the crowd at their first encore by returning to the stage with Robbie Wykoff, Harry Waters, Dave Kilminster, GE Smith, Graham Broad and Jon Joyce. They proceeded to perform "Goodbye Blue Sky," "Comfortably Numb" and a medley consisting of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition," David Bowie's "Fame," Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" and the Rolling Stones' "It's Only Rock and Roll (But I Like It)." The excitement and enthusiasm from the sold out crowd practically tore the roof off.

The following video shows them performing Comfortably Numb. Our thanks to Matt Levitz from VeniceCentral.com for the info!
