QUOTE As rumored in recent months, Roger Waters is taking Pink Floyd's "The Wall" on the road this fall for a 36-date North American tour starting Sept. 15 in Toronto and wrapping Dec. 13 in Anaheim. Prior to this, the 1979 concept album has only been performed 31 times - by Pink Floyd in 1980-81 with limited engagements in Los Angeles, London, Uniondale, N.Y. and Dortmund, West Germany, and an all-star presentation by Waters in July of 1990 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Waters, who played "The Dark Side Of The Moon" in its entirety during 2007-08, will reportedly take "The Wall" to Europe in 2011, but no dates have yet been announced. The show will be a state-of-the art affair, featuring a 240-foot-wide and 35-foot-tall wall constructed and subsequently torn down during the concerts. Other props and special effects are expected to be part of the show as well. Waters is re-launching his official web site at 2 p.m. today with ticket sale information. Released in November of 1979, "The Wall" - which focuses on a disaffected young musician facing an existential personal crisis that reflected Waters' state of mind at the time - spent 15 weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart and has been certified 23-times platinum and won a Grammy Award for Best Engineered Recording - Non-Classical. The North American leg of Waters' tour includes: 09/15 - Toronto - Air Canada Centre 09/20 - Chicago - United Center 09/21 - Chicago - United Center 09/26 - Pittsburgh - Consol Energy Center 09/28 - Cleveland - Quicken Loans Arena 09/30 - Boston - TD Garden 10/05 - New York - Madison Square Garden 10/08 - Buffalo - HSBC Arena 10/10 - Washington DC - Verizon Center 10/12 - Uniondale - Nassau Coliseum 10/15 - Hartford - XL Center 10/17 - Ottawa - ScotiaBank Place 10/19 - Montreal - Bell Centre 10/22 - Columbus - Schottenstein Center 10/24 - Detroit - Palace of Auburn Hills 10/26 - Omaha - Qwest Center 10/27 - St Paul - Xcel Energy Center 10/29 - St. Louis - ScotTrade Center 10/30 - Kansas City - Sprint Center 11/03 - New York - Izod Center 11/08 - Philadelphia - Wachovia Center 11/09 - Philadelphia - Wachovia Center 11/13 - Fort Lauderdale - Bank Atlantic Center 11/16 - Tampa - St. Pete Times Forum 11/18 - Atlanta - Philips Arena 11/20 - Houston - Toyota Center 11/21 - Dallas - American Airlines Center 11/23 - Denver - Pepsi Center Arena 11/26 - Las Vegas - MGM Grand Garden Arena 11/27 - Phoenix - US Airways Center 11/29 - Los Angeles - The Forum 12/01 - Los Angeles - The Forum 12/06 - San Jose - HP Pavilion 12/10 - Vancouver - General Motors Place 12/11 - Tacoma - Tacoma Dome 12/13 - Anaheim - Honda Center Thanks for the report to Billboard.com.

I'd personally prefer a Gilmour tour, but still, if Waters comes to Europe in 2011 I'll go and see the show!
