David last played with Pink Floyd at the ruins in October of 1971 to film the fan favorite Adrian Maben's "Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii". There was no actual audience at the original event but now fans have a chance to attend at a nearby Roman Amphitheatre being filmed for a theatre screening and DVD release. </span><br />

It is located in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, and was buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, that also buried Pompeii itself and the neighboring town of Herculaneum. Built around 80 BC, the current amphitheatre is the earliest Roman amphitheatre known to have been built of stone. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #513e25; font-family: "josefin sans" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 17px; line-height: 25.5px;">The amphitheatre's design is seen by some modern crowd control specialists as near optimal. The amphitheatre washroom, located in the neighboring palaestra has also been cited as an inspiration for better bathroom design in modern stadiums.</span></span>Roger Watershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15158125061939460080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567069619178616753.post-69199830264170201932015-10-01T12:18:00.000-07:002015-10-01T12:22:25.856-07:00Roger Waters The Wall - DVD, Blu-ray, 2-disc special edition, and CD album<a class="jcebox" href="http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/images/stories/2015/rwtwexpanded.jpg" style="background-color: #ebf8fd; color: #ca4711; cursor: pointer; font-family: verdana, 'Lucida Grande', Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px; text-decoration: none;" title="Roger Waters The Wall - expanded two-disc Blu-ray special edition"><img alt="Roger Waters The Wall - expanded two-disc Blu-ray special edition" src="http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/images/stories/2015/thumbnails/thumb_rwtwexpanded.jpg" height="193" style="border: 0px none rgb(0, 0, 0); float: left; margin: 5px;" title="Roger Waters The Wall - expanded two-disc Blu-ray special edition" width="200" /></a><span style="background-color: #ebf8fd; font-family: verdana, 'Lucida Grande', Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px;"></span><br />
<div style="background-color: #ebf8fd; font-family: verdana, 'Lucida Grande', Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
<span style="color: red;">Just announced, on the day following the worldwide screening in selected cinemas of Roger Waters The Wall for one night only, is the long-awaiting home release of the movie. It is being released as a digital download, as a DVD, a Blu-ray, and a 2-disc Blu-ray special edition, on November 16th, 2015. The physical editions are now available to order through selected outlets, and we have details below of what each edition contains.</span></div>

<span style="color: red;">For those who weren't able to see it last night, Roger Waters The Wall, written and directed by Roger Waters and Sean Evans combines an immersive and undeniably epic concert experience of the classic Pink Floyd album, a road movie of Waters' reckoning with the past, and an anti-war protest film, highlighting the human cost of conflict. Roger said: "I'm glad that we have an opportunity to share the film with people on a wider scale. It has had a deep effect on my life; and I'm not the only one. This release provides an opportunity to remember all of our fallen loved ones."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #ebf8fd; font-family: verdana, 'Lucida Grande', Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
<span style="color: red;">Roger Waters The Wall was shot during his sold out 2010-13 world tour. Seen by over 4 million fans at 219 shows over a period of three years, the show was the highest grossing tour by any solo artist in history. The film, shot in 4k and mixed in Dolby Atmos, features concert footage from this incredible tour - a reminder of just how good the production was.</span></div>

<span style="color: red;">Beyond the music, the film follows Roger Waters as he embarks on a deeply personal pilgrimage and reflects on the impact of war with his own family. Woven throughout the film, Waters travels to France to the site where his grandfather is buried, and Italy to a memorial for his father – both lost to war. The journey offers a revealing, candid portrait of a man who is passionately and unapologetically anti-war.</span></div>

<span style="color: red;">The DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital Download releases feature bonus footage of Roger Waters visiting the grave of poet and soldier, Frank Thompson, who lost his life during the Second World War. The 2-disc Blu-Ray Special Edition features over 95 minutes of bonus footage, including the unforgettable moment in May 2011 when Roger Waters was joined on stage by David Gilmour and Nick Mason at London's O2 Arena in a performance of Comfortably Numb and Outside The Wall (Nick only appearing on the latter), as well as driving outtakes from the road movie, art cards, a poster and booklet.</span></div>

The revelations about the Americans’ torture of terror suspects have rightly caused outrage across the world.
The U.S. government has owned up to the shadow of institutionalised brutality that has hung over ‘The Land Of The Free’ since the inception of the War On Terror after 9/11.The sense of disquiet should extend to the political establishment in Britain, given the mounting evidence that our own intelligence and security agencies may have colluded with the CIA in rendition, torture and a disregard for international human rights law including the Geneva Conventions.
Nothing illustrates our own national disgrace more graphically than the case of Shaker Aamer, a 46-year-old family man from London, who has now been held for almost 13 years in the notorious detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, having been seized by the U.S. military in Afghanistan in November 2001.
Shaker Aamer has been held without charge at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility since 2002
Shaker Aamer has been held without charge at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility since 2002
During Mr Aamer’s long spell of incarceration, he has never been put on trial or even had any charges levelled against him.
He has been subjected to systematic torture, humiliation and degradation, deprived not just of his liberty, but of all rights normally afforded to those in custody yet to be proven guilty of any crime.
The time has surely come for a judge-led inquiry to find out the true extent of Britain’s role in the barbaric treatment of Mr Aamer.

Dear Friends <br />
<br />
Some people have been asking Laurie, my wife, about a new album I have coming out in November. Errhh? I don't have an album coming out, they are probably confused. <a href="http://www.davidgilmour.com/">David Gilmour</a> and Nick Mason have an album coming out. It's called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NQKWAIQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00NQKWAIQ&linkCode=as2&tag=davidgilmourtour-20&linkId=UKOTVG6IRI4WRHLE">The Endless River</a>. David and Nick constitute the group Pink Floyd. I on the other hand, am not part of Pink Floyd. I left Pink Floyd in 1985, that's 29 years ago. I had nothing to do with either of the Pink Floyd studio albums, Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell, nor the Pink Floyd tours of 1987 and 1994, and I have nothing to do with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NQKWAIQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00NQKWAIQ&linkCode=as2&tag=davidgilmourtour-20&linkId=UKOTVG6IRI4WRHLE">The Endless River</a>. Phew! This is not rocket science people, get a grip. There will be no Pink Floyd tour and any news about a <a href="http://www.davidgilmourtour.com/">David Gilmour Tour</a> can be found <a href="http://www.davidgilmourtour.com/">here</a>.<br />
On another subject, my recent trip to Bruxelles was very moving. To listen to the testimony of some of those present in Gaza during the euphemistically named Operation Protective Edge, July and August 2014 was deeply disturbing. I am still non plussed by the acquiescence of the governments of the USA, UK and EU to the policies of the current Israeli administration. Should we encourage our leaders to sue for a peaceful solution or not? Here is a link to the findings of The Russell Tribunal on Palestine emergency session 2014:<br />
<a class="ot-anchor aaTEdf" href="http://www.russelltribunalonpalestine.com/en/sessions/extraordinary-session-brussels/findings" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #427fed;">http://www.russelltribunalonpalestine.com/en/sessions/extraordinary-session-brussels/findings</span></a><br />
Please study these findings and any rebuttals and then make up your own minds. Whatever you decide, let us all agree that, "To stand by silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all."<br />
<br />
Love Roger</div>

A note from Roger:
<br />
<br />
Recently I received a copy of a letter sent from Guantanamo by Shaker Aamer, a UK resident, who has been detained in Gitmo without trial for 12 years. Shaker's letter was forwarded by Clive Stafford Smith, a man I have met, who tirelessly advocates the rule of law, and every human being's right to a fair trial.
In his letter Shaker quotes some lyrics of mine and it was on those grounds that Clive forwarded the letter to me.
I felt it important that Shaker's story is heard, and that Clive Stafford Smith’s and Reprieve's attachment to the law is Is recognized as being fundamentally important to us all.
Love
Roger

<a href="http://www.greaterbostontickets.com/ResultsGeneral.aspx?kwds=Roger+Waters">
Roger Waters Tickets</a> are selling so fast the tour is breaking attendance records. Roger Waters spoke with CBS’ ’60 Minutes’ on Sunday May 20 to talk about the
tour, reasons for leaving Pink Floyd, and how he wishes everyone
would just leave their cell phones at home.
Interviewer Steve Kroft calls Roger Waters “prickly” however he adds
that even at 68, the legendary songwriter is also “gracious” and “totally
committed to his work.”
Steve Asked why ‘The Wall’ has had such staying power with fans,
Waters replied, “I think it strikes some chords that may be just beneath
surface in most of us. What it’s about is the walls that exist between
human beings, whether on a family level or on a global level. And I
think that resonates with people.”
Roger Waters has taken great pains in the stage show to reproduce
the sound of the original record, even using several artists to replicate
— note for note — what Pink Floyd’s singer and guitarist David Gilmour
did. That made Steve ask the obvious question: did Waters ever think
about pulling his old band mates back in?
He barely had the question out of his mouth before Waters stopped
him.
“There must have been a reason back in 1985 why I left Pink Floyd, left
the name, left that big umbrella of comfort … and there was a reason
for why I did, okay,” he said. “And [that reason] didn’t go away, certainly,
in the intervening 25 years or however long it’s been.”
But something Roger feels has changed are concert-goers —
specially, the ones who wield cell phones at his shows. “It drives me
insane,” he said, adding that he does not understand why people are
so focused on taking photos of the show and staring at a tiny screen
when there’s “this huge spectacle” going on in front of them.
Bitching aside, though, Waters loves his job — and has no illusions
about the life of a rock star.
“People always used to say, it must be so hard you know, how do you
do it? You know, it must be so hard being on the road, being in a rock
and roll band. It’s amazing that you survived. And I would look at them
like, what are you talking about?” he said.
“It’s the easiest job in the world … I mean, compared with something
really hard, like for instance, looking after a two-year-old child, it’s an
absolute doddle.”

Enter to win <a href="http://www.greaterbostontickets.com/ResultsGeneral.aspx?kwds=Roger+Waters">Roger Waters Tickets</a> via the exclusive Vancouver Sun contest and you could find yourself dining and debating the finer points of rock ’n’ roll with Sun experts, music critic Francois Marchand and arts and life editor Maggie Langrick.
After dinner, you and your guest will take in the May 26 <a href="http://www.outsidethewall.net/rogerwaters2006.html">Roger Waters concert</a> at BC Place, and receive an exclusive <a href="http://www.outsidethewall.net/rogerwaters2006.html">Roger Waters Tour</a> swag bag.
Waters’ epic concept concert stages the entire Pink Floyd album The Wall, complete with a mammoth onstage wall, classic “Floydian” puppet appearances by the judge, mother, wife and schoolteacher characters, and, of course, Pink himself, performed by Waters.
When the rock icon last brought this touring show to Vancouver’s Rogers Arena in December 2010, Marchand described it in his review as a “gargantuan” spectacle.
The first concert to be held at the renovated BC Place, the remounted show promises to be even bigger, featuring all the classic visual elements from the original show, re-envisioned in a bolder multimedia spectacle.

The guitarist on these dates is G.E. Smith (Saturday Night Live, Bob Dylan). Waters has just posted a video to his <a href="http://www.facebook.com/rogerwaters">Facebook page</a> of himself jamming with Smith. Here is what Waters has to say about it: <br /><br />In January, just before we went to Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina and Brazil, I wanted to play a bit, to get the fingers moving, so I asked G.E. to come to Breathe Editing where we were working, to hang and play. We played some stuff from the Wall which was cool, but also, at the end, we just jammed around a little bluesy thing in E. Andy Jennison, my editor captured a little bit on his iPad. I sort of like it. I sometimes forget what a privilege it is to to play with the guys in my band.

But after a relatively uneventful week of lawfully sleeping on the sidewalk near the New York Stock Exchange, the protesters have been met with a strong police response over the past two nights.<br /><br />For the Occupiers, the move to Wall Street -- after a month of high-profile efforts to establish a camp uptown in Union Square -- represents a refocusing on the movement's original message.<br /><br />"I think it's good we're back down here at Wall Street," said David Intrator, a frequent protest participant. "We're literally confronting the powers that be. "It's good for people who work on Wall Street to see every day and every night a different point of view."<br /><br />But that ruling didn't stop police from arresting (and punching) protesters as they disrupted the sleeping group at 6 a.m. Monday morning.<br /><br />Why the police shut the sleep-out down after allowing it for a week isn't clear, but activists speculate that they may have left themselves open to arrest by sleeping in a group of more than 25, the limit set by the Met Council ruling.<br /><br />After Monday morning's arrests, protesters retreated to the nearby steps of Federal Hall, which, as a National Park site, is under the authority of the Federal Government and thus outside the immediate jurisdiction of the New York Police Department.<br /><br />At 5 p.m., Park rangers told the protesters the site was closed, and that sleeping or camping on the steps was forbidden. While many occupiers initially wanted to return to the city sidewalks, effectively daring the police to arrest them in violation of the Met Council ruling, others were committed to staying on the steps, under the sheltering hand of an enormous statue of George Washington.<br /><br />With more than a dozen officers and metal barricades blocking access to the patch of sidewalk where they had slept for the past week, protesters opted to stay on the steps, singing and sharing inspirational quotations into the evening. City police looked on from the street, but took no action.<br /> <br />Some protesters responded with derision, noting the early hour and accusing the residents of being one-percenters who plunged the country into recession. One resident waded through a line of police and assaulted one of the vocal occupiers before officers could tear him away. Minutes later, the protester was arrested, cuffed, and thrown into the back of a police truck. Officers took no action against the resident, who stayed on the scene, declining in colorful terms to speak to the press.<br /><br />The fracas opened a period of heavy police action, as "White-shirt" officers pointed out protesters they wanted arrested -- in many cases for "excessive noise" violations -- and sent less senior officers to arrest them. In at least one instance, city police made an arrest on federal property, at the top of the stairs.<br /><br />"I'm really glad the police are being proactive," said Matt, a resident of 45 Wall Street, who appeared to be enjoying the scene as he looked on in a baby-blue polo shirt embroidered with "1%" on the breast. "The first amendment is not a blanket permission for misbehavior. I do respect their right to protest, but I think the way they're going about it is disrespectful and disruptive. They make the sidewalks narrower, and a lot of them don't shower regularly."<br /><br />But Fatima Roland, who lives around the corner at 15 Broad Street, disagreed. "Sure, it's a little inconvenient that they're here, but I'm sorry, that's the price of democracy," she said. "The people who are out here complaining tonight are all the One Percent. Anyone who knows anything about what's going on in this country should be out here supporting these people, not complaining."<br /><br />At 10:30, several occupiers attempted to return to the sidewalk corner at Wall and Nassau Streets where they had been sleeping for the past week. Police immediately responded. "This is a high security area, you are not allowed to sit here," one officer told them, giving them a moment to move and then arresting them.<br /><br />As the night wore on and the activists tired, they considered their options, ultimately opting to sleep on a distant stretch of sidewalk near the east side waterfront. <br /><br />Bill Dobbs, who brings decades of activism and civil-rights work to his involvement in Occupy Wall Street, said he was frustrated that the evening's events once again centered around protesters' clashes with the police rather than the movement's larger messages, but he conceded the occupiers might have little choice in the matter.<br /><br />"People say, 'Well, why do they have to be here?'" Dobbs said. "But the alternative is you're in your house, where you can't change anything, except by clicking online petitions. There's something special about these camps: It means the people have power. That's why the police want to make sure no one can get out of their house and gather."<br /><br />Image:duff mosesRoger Watershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15158125061939460080noreply@blogger.com1
