Roger Waters - 2022-07-06 - Pittsburgh - Recorder 1 (FLAC) PPG Paints Arena

Roger Waters inicia turnê “This is Not a Drill” com surpresas no repertório.

A turnê This is Not a Drill, adiada por Roger Waters em função da pandemia, finalmente foi iniciada nos últimos dias. O segundo show do giro aconteceu na PPG Paints Arena em Pittsburgh, na Pensilvânia. A apresentação foi realizada na noite da última quarta-feira (6).

O repertório da apresentação contou com 20 clássicos do Pink Floyd. Porém, houve algumas surpresas em diferentes sentidos. Uma delas esteve logo na abertura do set: “Comfortably Numb”, que geralmente fica mais ao fim dos shows, foi tocada em uma versão mais calma e climática onde o solo de guitarra é substituído por uma performance vocal ao estilo de “The Great Gig in the Sky”.

Houve ainda a inclusão de quatro músicas da carreira solo de Waters: “The Bravery of Being Out of Range” (do álbum “Amused to Death” / 1992), “The Powers That Be” (de “Radio K.A.O.S.”, 1987), “Déjà Vu”, “Is This the Life We Really Want?” (as duas últimas do disco “Is This the Life We Really Want?” – 2017) e “The Bar”, esta última inédita.

Outra surpresa esteve a cargo de “Two Suns in the Sunset”, faixa do álbum “The Final Cut” (1983), o último com Roger Waters na formação. A canção nunca foi executada ao vivo pelo Pink Floyd e foi lembrada em apenas sete ocasiões por Waters em carreira solo – duas delas no Brasil, em 2018, mais especificamente nas cidades de Belo Horizonte e Salvador.

Na excursão, Waters se apresenta no palco junto com os guitarristas Jonathan Wilson e Dave Kilminster, o baterista Joey Waronker, o guitarrista e baixista Gus Seyffert, o tecladista e guitarrista Jon Carin, o organista Robert Walter, o saxofonista Seamus Blake e as backing vocals Amanda Belair e Shanay Johnson.

A estrutura da turnê é gigantesca e a plateia fica de frente para uma enorme cruz centralizada no palco, que faz ligação com uma passarela que segue por quatro direções.

Também há impressionantes telões de LED mostrando, claro, mensagens políticas, fotos e arquivos icônicos do Pink Floyd. Waters está em turnê pela América do Norte até meados de Outubro. Que datas sejam anunciadas no Brasil para 2023!

This is the ijwthstd recording, that he shared via Wetransfer.

I don't change nothing, only slit the tracks with my old (but good) CD wave while listening.

Here the info from him : 

Sorry I don't have any way to torrent from here but maybe someone can move this to the right place

ROGER WATERS @ PPG PAINTS ARENA, PITTSBURGH, PA 2022-07-06

I likely cannot do LA and wanted to see this tour so might as well get it out of the way now!

I had some inconveniences along the way. I was walking around a few hours earlier I got completely drenched in a surprise (suprise if you don't check out the forecast) storm. Came across a thrift store and got a 99 cent pair of jeans a few sizes too big a few minutes before closing. And no front pockets! But even something in my back pocket would cause them to fall down. Did the waistband underwear flip which would work for a few minutes, At least, in spite of the bag rules I was able to carry my stuff in in a plastic bag.

I was pricing a Lyft and when I was ready to call it up, the price jumped by $6 and it wasn't raining so I just tempted fate and hit the pavement again without getting wet. Except for my soggy shoes. At least the hotel has dryers.

It was a fantastic show. This wasn't the Roger Waters presents the Pink Floyd rehash. As great as those shows were this was a refreshing brand new concept though Pink Floyd songs, especially from the big 4, made up the bulk of the set. That said, the show is mainly a visual experience so if you cannot attend hopefully someone will put together a good DVD.

If you are attending, depending on the arena layout, you do not want to be too high up. Or on the dead ends at any level. Corners are find the way the screens are positioned. Center arena is perfect. Floor ... maybe if you go multiple nights but not the best option for sure.

Untracked waves, no idea when I will have a chance to track out, feel free to do what you want with them. Keeping in the chatter I pick up at the end of set 1 should be considered part of the show however.
