Description

I have taken this photograph (and digitally modified) during the outstanding, spectacular, triumphal show at the Moda Center in Portland, OR, on June 25th, 2017. It was brilliant from musical, visual, technical and of cause philosophical points of views - it was one of the best you can see in a life time.

George Roger Waters is an English singer, songwriter, bassist, and composer. In 1965, he co-founded the progressive rock band Pink Floyd with drummer Nick Mason, keyboardist Rick Wright, and guitarist, singer, and songwriter Syd Barrett.

In mid October 2016, Waters announced that he would return to North America in 2017 with a pioneering new tour named "Us + Them", stating: "We are going to take a new show on the road, the content is very secret. It'll be a mixture of stuff from my long career, stuff from my years with Pink Floyd, some new things. Probably 75% of it will be old material and 25% will be new, but it will be all connected by a general theme. It will be a cool show, I promise you. It'll be spectacular like all my shows have been." It is intended that the 44-date Us + Them Tour would visit the United States and Canada, showcase Waters' highlights, started on 26 May 2017 in Kansas City, MO and will end on 28 October 2017 in Vancouver, BC. The tour title is derived from the track "Us and Them," from the 1973 Pink Floyd album The Dark Side of the Moon.

On 16 February 2017, Waters announced his fourth solo album Is This the Life We Really Want?. It was released on 2 June 2017, and is his first rock album in nearly 25 years, since Amused to Death (1992). On 20 April, the single "Smell the Roses" was released.
