In the Flesh Live

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Coming out of a 12 year long hitaus from the road, the 'In The Flesh' tours were a showcase of Roger Waters' best known work from his days with Pink Floyd until his last released solo album 'Amused to Death.' 'In the Flesh' was a massive undertaking by Waters that spanned three individual tours over the course of three years (1999, 2000, and 2002). Below is the basic info for each year of the tour (variances noted when they occurred).

2000 Tour Info

Following the startling success of the 1999 tour, Waters mounted an even more aggressive campaign, touching areas of the country ignored on tours past. The set list was also altered with 'The Powers That Be' and 'What God Wants' being removed in favor of 'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun' 'Bravery of Being Out of Range' and new song 'Each Small Candle.' Touring band was relatively the same, with an addition of a backup singer and a new saxaphone player for the song 'Money.'

2002 Tour Info

The success of Waters twin American ventures prompted him to take his act to countries abound. The set list of 2000 remained intact, but did get the injection of another new song 'Flickering Flame' which was at times played instead of 'Each Small Candle' as the encore. The band also changed with the departure of Doyle Bramhall II, his wife and back up singer Sussanah Melvoin and John Carin. Brought in was Chester Kamen (replacing Bramhall), Linda Lewis as back up singer (who she herself was replaced by 'Carol Kenyon' due to personal issues), and most interestingly Harry Waters (son of frontman Roger Waters) to replace Carin. By far the most historical moment of this or any of Waters 'In the Flesh' tours came at Wembley as former Pink Floyd bandmate and drummer Nick Mason sat in and played both nights on 'Set the Controls.'
