Roger Waters 2007 North American Tour

[Malcolm]

Pink Floyd singer/guitarist David Gilmour will back his forthcoming solo album, "On An Island," with a world tour that touches down in North America next spring. Gilmour will launch the run with a European trek that kicks off in early March, and will then head to North America for a brief series of April performances. Two-night stands are scheduled in New York City, Toronto, Chicago and Oakland, CA, and single-night engagements are set at a pair of Los Angeles-area venues. Details are included below.

"I'm very much looking forward to this tour and making music with the great musicians in the band," Gilmour said in a statement. "I've had a fantastic time making 'On An Island' and really want to perform tracks from it, along with my more familiar repertoire."

Members of Gilmour's official fan club will have first dibs on tickets via an online presale that starts Tuesday (12/20). Information about the fan club is posted at Gilmour's website.

All remaining tickets will go on sale to the general public via Ticketmaster during the second weekend in January, according to Columbia Records. (Ticketmaster is liveDaily's parent company.)

"I'm rather hoping that, with this tour announcement, people will believe me when I say, honestly, this is the only band I plan to tour with," Gilmour added, an obvious reference to rumors that he and the rest of the classic Pink Floyd lineup would be mounting a reunion tour. The members--Gilmour, bassist Roger Waters, drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Richard Wright--reunited earlier this year for a one-off performance in London as part of the Live 8 multi-city concert event. It was the lineup's first time on stage together since 1981.

"On An Island" is due in stores March 7. The set's title track features Gilmour teamed with David Crosby and Graham Nash.

"I'm rather hoping that, with this tour announcement, people will believe me when I say, honestly, this is the only band I plan to tour with,"

Well if he's happy, good for him.

I would love to see Gilmour myself, but I would bet the ticket prices would be through the roof.

 Pink Floyd's Roger Waters has announced a European tour, along with the promise of a full performance of his former band's album Dark Side Of The Moon in France.
The confirmed concerts start with an appearance at Portugal's Rock In Rio - Lisbon festival June 2. From there, he'll do at least 10 dates in Italy, Germany, Iceland, Norway, Greece and Denmark, staying on the road through July 12.
According to Waters' official Web site, the former Pink Floyd bassist/vocalist will be joined by ex-bandmate Nick Mason on drums for a live version of Dark Side Of The Moon. The site does not specify whether the event will be a one-off or a tour, stating simply, "Somewhere in France. This summer."
Details are expected shortly.

Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters will return to North America this spring to offer another round of complete performances of the classic Pink Floyd album "Dark Side of the Moon."

Waters, long estranged from the British space-rock band, performed roughly the same show last year during an 18-city tour. This time around, Waters and his band will hit 24 venues throughout the continent, kicking off May 18 in West Palm Beach, FL. Details are included below.

According to a Columbia Records press release, Waters' upcoming shows will include two full sets plus encores, "with state-of-the-art staging, lighting and sound."

The first set will feature an overview of Waters' musical career, including selections from throughout his run as Pink Floyd's primary songwriter and songs from his solo album "Amused to Death."

The second set will feature Waters and a full band performing "Dark Side of the Moon" from start to finish. The album was issued in 1973, and remained on The Billboard 200 album chart for a record-breaking 15 years.

Waters' band for the tour features Andy Fairweather-Low (guitar, vocals), Snowy White (guitar), Dave Kilminster (guitar, vocals), Jon Carin (keyboards, vocals), Graham Broad (drums), Harry Waters (Hammond organ), Ian Ritchie (saxophone), as well as backing vocalists Katie Kissoon, PP Arnold and Carol Kenyon.

   Notice how he goes to Ottawa on the 4th of June but leaves out Toronto, then comes back up and finnishes off in Toronto.

I know why:
