Roger Waters calls on audience to 'tear down the walls'
By Ben Shalev, Haaretz Correspondent and AP
About an hour after his concert began, Roger Waters
told the audience about a trip he took to the Middle
East when he was 17. For some reason, he got stuck in
Beirut and had to hitchhike home to England. The
wonderful hospitality of a Lebanese family during that
hard time "changed my life," he said.
Just before the end of the concert, Waters addressed
his audience again. "I believe we need this generation
of Israelis to tear down the walls and make peace with
their neighbors," he said, setting off a round of
cheers.
Tens of thousands of Israelis flocked to the mixed
Arab-Jewish town of Neveh Shalom last night for the
single performance by the British rock star - the
founder of Pink Floyd, which produced the legendary
album The Wall.
An estimated 50,000 gathered in a hastily prepared
outdoor venue in a field near Neveh Shalom, which is
located between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Hours before
the performance, cars were gridlocked in all directions
in one of Israel's worst traffic jams ever.
There was nothing surprising in the first part of the
concert. Waters's band was super-professional, the
sound was perfect. The stage and set looked like the
sum invested in them could finance a small state in
Africa.
Rogers sounded hoarse and his neck muscles bulged every
time he sang. Those who were still stuck in traffic
jams could only try to imagine what it felt like when
tens of thousands sang together, "Shine on, you crazy
diamond."
At 6 P.M., three hours before Waters was due on stage,
Yoram Friedman was already standing right in front of
the stage, surrounded by teenagers. The 50-year-old
member of Kibbutz Givat Haim came with his son, a
beginner guitarist. He said that he would stay as long
as his strength held out, "because that is the only way
to experience a rock concert."
Friedman has seen Pink Floyd four times, including on
two consecutive days in London in 1982. He heard the
album The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), considered by
many fans to be the band's magnum opus, when he was 16
- his son's age today.
Friedman was in a minority in the huge concert
compound. Most of the crowd were born after Waters,
David Gilmour and the rest recorded The Dark Side. But
the old-timers made their presence felt. Some wore long
hair and tee shirts with the famous prism from the
album jacket. Others were more conservative-looking.
Still, all had one thing in common: The music of Pink
Floyd and the other great bands of the 1960s and 1970s
was the backdrop and soundtrack of their lives. They
came to remember, to relive their youth for a few
hours.
Yossi Naor, for example, could not be missed. With his
long hair, mustache and a 1960s-era floppy black hat,
he looked like the fourth member of Crosby, Stills and
Nash. He and his wife Mary, from Tel Aviv, are "50
plus." For them, Pink Floyd's music was "the end of an
era. It was 1973, but for us it was the end of the
1960s, the end of the Beatles era."
Avi, 45, who came from the Galilee with his 14-year-old
son, said that he has been waiting for this concert all
his life.
