COMMENTS The European leg of Roger's new tour - THIS IS NOT A DRILL - has now been announced, and is a new production. The show will be presented "live in the round" - a departure from Roger's previous shows. The production has already been seen in the US and Canada in the latter part of 2022, showcasing both the new visuals, and the new set list. More details of that can be found in the show pages for Roger's 2022 tour - but don't go there if you don't want to have any surprises spoilt! 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...

WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD! Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played! Night thirty-four of the 2023 This Is Not A Drill tour for Roger Waters, his band, and crew, and the last of the European mainland shows on this leg. Taking place in Frankfurt, there were some differences to the show, which Roger explains in the video below. Due to the current media talk about Roger and his stage gear, he decided - for this show - to not wear the leather overcoat and have the crossed hammer banners for the start of the second half. He's clearly emotional, particularly toward the end of the video. Two days off now (albeit travelling, as well as breaking down this show, and setting up the next) before arriving in the UK for the first of six shows in England and Scotland, beginning in Birmingham. Initial reports from the fan community are that the show was as expected from last year's experiences of Roger's latest production, but as always, we value your first hand views on all the concerts - so if you went, please let us know your thoughts!
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! |
