On November 21, Columbia Records will release the eagerly anticipated "In The
Flesh," a two-CD recording of the entire
live show (drawn from performances in Phoenix, Arizona, Las Vegas, Nevada,
Irvine, California, and Portland, Oregon) and Waters' first full-length
release since 1992's "Amused To Death." A deluxe DVD version of "In The
Flesh"--featuring a Hi Definition
live concert video with 5.1 Dolby Digital and LPCM Stereo music mixes, a
30-minute behind-the-scenes documentary, band biographies, still photographs,
projected images, lyrics, and more--is currently in the works with a release
date TBA.
"In The Flesh" is produced and mixed by longtime collaborator James Guthrie,
who has worked on Waters' music since co-producing and engineering "The Wall"
in 1978 and has remastered the entire Pink Floyd catalog. Guthrie recorded
the concerts as a 48-track analog recording before mixing it down to high
resolution digital. "I just like the sound of analog," says Guthrie. "It's
much more resolute. It's more real. It breathes. It's more
three-dimensional."
Appearing with Roger Waters (guitar, vocals, and bass) on "In The Flesh" is
his band of top-flight musicians including Andy Fairweather-Low (guitar),
Snowy White (guitar), Doyle Bramhall II (guitar and vocals), Graham Broad
(drums), Jon Carin
(keyboards), Andy Wallace (keyboards), Katie Kissoon (vocals), Susannah
Melvoin (vocals), and PP Arnold (vocals).
"The strength of this record," Guthrie says, "is to hear Roger performing
such a great cross-section of material from very early Pink Floyd, i.e. 'Set
The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun,' to more contemporary Pink Floyd to
Roger's solo career. It's a very
dynamic performance. They are all important pieces of music."
Throughout the U.S. tour, critics praised the power of Waters' performances,
the timelessness of his music, the show's intimate production values and
seamless structure. The San Jose Mercury News reported that the show "was
rock as art, with the kind of concern for sound rarely seen today." And the
Fort Worth Star Telegram raved that "his long, luscious two-set show made up
mainly of Floyd classics was on a more human scale? this show felt like a
celebration." The Los Angeles Times was equally enthusiastic and wrote, "the
show illustrated the extent to which Waters
          operatic rock has influenced generations."

          1. "In The Flesh" (from "The Wall")
          2. "The Happiest Days Of Our Lives" (from "The Wall")

          24. "Each Small Candle" (new song)
The first verse of "Each Small Candle" was written by a South American who'd
been a victim of torture. An Italian journalist, active in the initiative
against torture in Northern Italy, had given Waters the short poem years ago.
The poem lay in a drawer
in Waters' studio until, during the crisis in Kosovo, he read a piece in The
London Times describing a Serbian soldier who saw an Albanian woman lying in
a burned-out building. The soldier left his platoon to give aid to the woman,
then rejoined his men and marched off. The image inspired Waters to set the
short poem, "Each Small Candle," to music and pen additional lyrics. It is
the song that closes In The Flesh.
Roger Waters co-founded the groundbreaking Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett in
1966. When Barrett left the group, Roger went on to create such classics as
"Dark Side Of The Moon" (which spent nearly 15 years on the Billboard 200
album chart), "The Wall"
(which has been certified 23x RIAA platinum), "Animals," "Wish You Were
Here," and "The Final Cut." Following the release of "The Final Cut," Roger
Waters left Pink Floyd.
His first solo album, "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking," was released in
April 1984, to great critical and popular acclaim, generating his first solo
tour. June 1987's "Radio K.A.O.S." continued the path of solo success,
bringing Roger back to the stage. His last solo album, the darkly ironic
"Amused To Death"--considered by many fans and critics alike to be an
achievement comparable to "Dark Side Of The Moon" or "The
Wall"--was released in August 1992.
Waters has been working on "Ca Ira" (pronounced "sa-ira"), an opera in
English and French.

Guardando la sequenza dei pezzi inseriti, sono rimasto parecchio perplesso!
D'accordo che i brani li ha scritti lui, ma più che un album di Waters mi
sembra un album dei Pink... e sicuramente le atmosfere saranno ben diverse!
Questo per dire che dispiace parecchio fare confronti con la indiscussa
genialità di Roger!
Ciao Gio
