Roger Waters

Whether you're fifteen or fifty, Roger Waters tickets to his latest "The Wall" concert tour, will appeal to you. Waters, along with the rest of his band, Pink Floyd, hit the airwaves with The Wall back in 1979, and the concept album still hasn't lost any of its edge. The Wall tickets will place you deep in the mind of its troubled protagonist - Waters himself - as he struggles to come to terms with the ordeal that is life.

The Wall as a concept album broke boundaries and took listeners on a swooping trajectory that was dark and even frightening - but that's what real music is often all about. The story unfolds amid themes of personal isolation and even disintegration, drawing from some of the real-life dramas Waters has lived through, many of his own making and many beyond his control. Waters spoke of a desire to build a "wall" between himself and Pink Floyd's fans after he was involved in an unsavory incident at a concert, and the concept grew from there. The incident with the Pink Floyd fan was caused by Waters' sense of alienation from his audience, and immediately following the concert (in which Waters spat in the face of a noisy fan in the front row) the band began to fragment and their focus drained off in several directions. This was a decisive moment in the Pink Floyd story, as it represented the fracture of a band that once thrived on audience appreciation into a group of individuals no longer interested in "performance". Roger Waters tickets are tickets to real art, and they provide a glimpse into the fear and beauty of the artist in all their starker lights.

Other concepts are folded into The Wall, including Waters' feelings of loneliness and vulnerability after losing his father as a child, and being subjected to an over-protective mother while simultaneously bullied by abusive schoolteachers. Added to this are the emotional turmoil from a failed marriage and the need for isolation - to build a "wall" - that grew inside the beleaguered Waters. Tickets to Roger Waters are selling like crazy right now, so if you want them you need to hit the switch and secure them ASAP.

Check out Roger Waters' The Wall tickets. If you saw his brilliant "Dark Side of the Moon" shows back in 2006-7 you'll know that that was only the beginning. If anything, The Wall is meatier, more accomplished and engaging than "Dark Side" ever was. It's time to go over the wall yourself and rejoin the Roger Waters trip in all its horror and beauty.
