Waters To Perform Dark Side Of The Moon Solo

PINK FLOYD rocker ROGER WATERS will perform the band's legendary DARK SIDE OF MOON album live at a Danish summer (05) festival - as a solo artist.

The bassist, 62, rediscovered his love with the songs from the 1973 LP when the band reformed for Live 8 last July (06), but he would rather play alone than take to the stage with estranged bandmate DAVE GILMOUR again.

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Roger feels reinvigorated after the one-off reunion. He can't wait to play Dark Side Of The Moon in its entirety, even if it's in a gig by himself."

Waters played Pink Floyd's THE WALL album in Berlin in 1990 after the city's infamous wall was pulled down.

	Ah,so Rog has decided he needs to boost his coffers.Does it really matter if does it on his own?.I think not.Regardless of what you think of him,Dark Side of the Moon was largely his concept, so if he wants to go solo with it, fine.It will be interesting to see & hear the results.After all the Floyd done the whole thing live on the Division Bell tour,& very good it is too.I've been a P.F. fan since '67 & quite frankly I was glad when Waters parted company with the others,as his stuff became far to full of morbid self-centred introspection.There seems,at the moment far too much criticism of David Gilmour.The man does not wish to play '20yr old rock star' & I don't blame him.He done an exellent job of steering Pink Floyd for a few years.He is going to do a series of concerts.He hasn't 'retired'.So why don't a lot of selfish cretins get off his back.I'm sure everyone who enjoys his music will love 'On An Island'.

	I am thrilled that Roger will be performing Dark Side again.even when he performed some of the cuts in his "In The Flesh" tour,they were awsome.his passion for his music and quality of Bass playing makes the difference in when he performs.he outshines the Floyd who went on without him.
