The Wall And The Monster: Roger Waters Looks To Bring Tour To Three Ballparks

Musician Roger Waters is “making plans to bring his highly successful Wall tour back to America in 2012,” and he will likely play “baseball stadiums in a few big cities,” according to ROLLING STONE. Waters said, “We want to base the tour around Saturday nights in baseball stadiums. … I’m at my office working on an outdoor version of the show.” Pink Floyd in ’80 and ’81 played live versions of “The Wall,” and Waters “spent the last year reviving it -- but it’s always been an indoor show.” Waters: “We’ve done light tests [at] Fenway Park and Wrigley Field and Yankee Stadium just to see what the ambient light is like. And it’s fine. It works. We’ve taken part of the Wall and the projectors into those three places” (ROLLINGSTONE.com, 9/28).
