Colour is how we spell it in Canada, or how I was taught. It's a UK thing.The dropping of the u is a US thing.
Yeah, I know that now.
But I always wondered why this... "Living Colour is an American rock band from New York City, formed in 1984. "

As a teen, when we were really lucky, City TV would play Live At Pompeii late at night. It was always fun to watch some poor, one toke over the line friend watch this. The scream is unmatched.
I often wonder when Roger stopped being able to do that "inhale scream". I listened to a show I went to in 1984 (YouTube) and he did it a bit then. But that has to be something he lost the ability to do a long time ago.
A real treat, for the 50th anniversary of TDSOTM would have been HD video footage of that tour. Sadly it does not seem to exist.
I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad.
As for your sig MarkG, it was one of the final songs of his recent setlist.
I found the ending of this tours setlist very anti climactic. NO ENCORE. WTF. I waited 15 months for this ? Still a night out with my wife (night one) and a night out with my son, the following day. (Me and the boy had a better time at Iron Maiden a few months later)
I did not realize this was Toronto. So I was at this show. Better seats that this guy haha.

========== "The recording, currently in the polishing suite but revealed to The Telegraph (paywall), features reimagined versions of the original’s tracks, now with "Waters talking all over them", including Breathe recast as an acoustic epic, and Money sporting a new country vibe." ==========
Roger's new DSotM will probably not appeal to me.
Country vibe ? F that.
This project has disaster written all over it.

All very cool, WT. The beginning two notes of "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" sound to me like the same beginning notes of "Goodbye Cruel World" (The Wall).
Two Suns in the Sunset live!
++++++++++
Makes me want to listen to PF right now, but I've got tickets to see Rush's Exit Stage Left this evening which starts in about an hour. Printing tickets for own living room is corny, I know.
Looks around at audience....
There's a Rock-looking chick sitting by herself who I think has been eyeing me, and no dudes have been around her. Too old to be a groupie but still cute and definitely my type. Think I'll 'buy' her a drink and see if she'll let me sit with her for during show, then see how the evening plays out. I better hit the restroom first while the crowd is light (never want to stand in line just to piss in a sink again).
Rush is always so good live!

Well good luck to you MarkG. It's been a very long time since I've had the thrill of the chase. I wish you luck. Is it playing at a theatre ? I saw Rush back in the day. Grace Under Pressure tour. They sold out Maple Leafs Gardens 3 nights in a row. Home town boys.

Just another aging "celerity" desperately to stay relevant in the news cycles. He knows outrageous statements like this will get him attention.
Actually, Roger cares more about his causes (war, homelessness) than he does in personal attention. He's had plenty of that.
I don't see a need for a rerecording of TDSOTM. No way you are going to improve upon the original, no bloody chance. You can't improve the guitar solo in Time. It's perfection. Re-do Us and Them ? why ? Leave it alone.
I would like to see the movie The Wall redone. It is showing it's age.
A remake of The Wall would be cool. You are right, the original hasn't aged very well. I worry that the original message of The Wall would not be intact though.
Yeah, sounds like Roger is really into "re imagining things". Some of it due to his limited vocal range no doubt, but he is 79 years old. A song like Run Like Hell seemed quite relevant during the Covid days. An interpretation of that would be interesting.
I watched The Wall recently with my son. Afterwards I noticed Hey You was cut out. WTF ? a fantastic song. Apparently Roger thought there were too many depressing moments, and it was cut out. One of the highlights of the movie and album IMO.

Friday night was a good time, at least what I remember of it. Rush played some songs off their upcoming album, including a really good one named "Living In The Limelight." Not a typo. Can't wait to get it.
That chick I met was cool, if a little crazy. She knew her Rush which should have been a red flag. We hit it off and had fun after the show, and I got her number (assuming it's not a fake). Maybe we'll catch Pink Floyd in the future... With Roger.
She's also a Fixx fan, but I'm not finding any concerts.

They just wanted to be pretentious.

I love Live At Pompeii. I do not like how they split Echoes into 2 parts though. Fun fact you might not know, all footage (except Nick Mason's) for One Of These Days was either misplaced or destroyed by accident (I can't remember which) That is why you only see Nick throughout the whole song.

Context. He has been doing this consistently since the 2010 Wall tours. He is in character. He also did it during the original Wall tour of 80/81. The crossed hammers are not swastikas. When I took my wife last summer, she did think it was shocking to see him shoot a machine gun into the crowd. (she said what will people in the USA think, because of mass shootings) The last line in the song explains it. He is an artist in character as a fascist . BTW, this song came out in Dec. 1979. These articles are from uninformed journalists.
In The Flesh
So ya thought ya Might like to go to the show To feel the warm thrill of confusion That space cadet glow? I got some bad news for you, sunshine Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel And they sent us along as a surrogate band We're gonna find out where you fans really stand Are there any queers in the theater tonight? Get 'em up against the wall (against the wall) Now there's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me Get him up against the wall (against the) And that one looks Jewish And that one's a coon Who let all this riff-raff into the room? There's one smokin' a joint And another with spots If I had my way I'd have all of you shot

I was curious if he would you the c**n line in concert, as his current wife is black. Yep, he did.
From the 1982 movie The Wall. Bob Geldof plays the character in the movie (his vocals are not up to par imo), that Roger plays live. It is not praising fascism. If anything, it shows how easily impressionable people are (Sheep). It's a warning. (Dogs)
BTW, being pro Palestine does not make you an anti Semite. Roger is against killing ALL innocent people, especially children. It's in his lyrics. His frustration come from Palestinian babies being fair game for some reason.

Sometimes I stare at the night sky See them stars a billion light years away And it makes me feel small like a bug on a wall Who gives a sh*t anyway? Who gives a sh*t anyway?
When World War II was over Though the slate was never wiped clean We could have picked over them broken bones We could have been free But we chose to adhere to abundance We chose the American Dream And oh mistress liberty How we abandoned thee How we abandoned thee And oh Mistress Liberty How we abandoned thee
Could have been born in Shreveport Or he could have born in Tehran It don't much matter wherever you're born Little babies mean us no harm They have to be taught to despise us To bulldoze our homes to the ground To believe their fight is for liberty To believe that their God will keep them safe and sound Safe and sound Safe and sound
We cannot turn back the clock Cannot go back in time But we can say "f*ck you" We will not listen to Your bullsh*t and lies Your bullsh*t and lies
I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad.
The "investigation" will end up being a waste of time. The last 3 lines of the article ... The bassist says he is speaking out against Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. He began his Berlin show by insisting he is not anti-semitic. A court in Frankfurt also backed him ahead of a gig there on Sunday.
Roger is as much of a fascist, that Alice Cooper is a baby killer and necrophiliac.

Waters isn't a fascist and it should be quite obvious that his wearing of a Nazi-like uniform is intended to be a political statement.
However, he IS an ultra left winger and also hypocritical when it comes to the ongoing Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
