Roger Waters has approved the band Blurred Vision to record of this song – the video is powerful aimed at the heart of the oppressive regime in Iran.
With speculation rising about Roger Waters touring The Wall this year or next, I thought I’d post the film here as a warm up..
This film contains scenes which some people may find disturbing..
There has been some noise from the Floyd Machine over the past week. In today’s publication of an interview with Roger Waters in MOJO magazine, speculation of him touring The Wall will start/has started to spread like wildfire.
With Roger saying things in the interview like “We are doing the sums for a full scale tour,” I think it is safe to say something is afoot. Your guess is as good as mine as to which musicians crew it this time. I’d be happy with the band he took out to do the Darkside of the moon tour a couple of years ago, but then you never know..
It was 30 years ago that the Wall was released and it is 19 years since he has ever performed it – the last time being when the Berlin Wall came down. Prior to that Pink Floyd last performed the Wall in 1981.
Keep your ear to the ground and your credit card at hand because when these tickets go on sale you’d be lucky if you have a 15 minute window…
He also mentions finding some of the original footage from the 80-81 tour, which is being edited down so we may even have a new DVD to look forward to.

…and for those who can’t contain themselves..
It will be 40 years since man first walked on the moon on the 20th July this year. As the astonauts were taking their giant steps for man, in a small TV studio in London, four guys were jamming along to the video being beamed back from the moon and here it is.. Moonhead by Pink Floyd
