Hi everyone,

I'm Gabriel, a high school student from Brazil, and I'm hoping this community might be able to help us.

Our physics teacher has been a devoted Pink Floyd fan for decades. He doesn't just listen to the band—he brings Pink Floyd into the classroom. He often uses the cover of The Dark Side of the Moon to introduce optics, wears Pink Floyd shirts to school, and whenever he gets the chance, he tells us how much he admires Roger Waters and the band.

He's one of those rare teachers who genuinely changes people's lives. His classes are funny, inspiring, and unforgettable, and we'd like to surprise him with something truly special.

We're trying to see if there's any way to reach Roger Waters or someone from his team to ask for a very short video (10–20 seconds), a written message, or even a signed photo. Honestly, anything would mean the world to our teacher and to our class.

We know this is an extremely unlikely request, but we also know that amazing things sometimes happen thanks to communities like this one.

If anyone has advice, knows an official contact, or has any idea how we could get this request to Roger's team, we'd be incredibly grateful.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this. ❤️

I mean... Towers of Faith, Folded Flags, Going to live in LA, Molly's Song, Get back to Radio, Each Small Candle, Flickering Flame, Leaving Beirut, To Kill the Child, Crystal Clear Brooks, Hello (I love you), Lost Boys Calling, Sumud, Bar, Under the Rubble...

One can easily make a 5 out of 5 album from exclusively this material

Awesome and heartbreaking at the same time.

Hooked up a reciever i was given and this is my go to album to test new to me equipment

I have no idea is this story would interest you guys as it's a fan story but here it is...

Hello...Is There Anybody Out There…

who actually sounds like Roger Waters from Pink Floyd in his prime?

I decided to audition.

I'm a film producer -- so, of course I decided to create a mini-doc about the experience. (With some pretty cool animation)

Spoiler alert! … made the TOP 30!

Watch what happened. Full Story 👇

When Pink Floyd mastermind Roger Waters put out a call for someone who could sing like he did 50 years ago, I decided to try.

This is the Mini-doc I created on how I auditioned for his son Harry Waters’ new Pink Floyd Legacy Band — and somehow made it to the Top 30.

From last-minute studio sessions with friends, recording with my son in his bedroom, to getting emails from Harry Waters himself.

This is the demo of my "The Powers That Be" cover from Roger's Radio KAOS album. Final version will have horns, and some bluesy wah-laden solos / guitar licks and a bunch of stuff re-tracked. I don't like my vocals at the end either, I'm going to retrack them as well. Female vocalist nailed it, IMO - she echoes the original with a modern vibe.

I can take any feedback, positive or negative.

Just to make it clear I’ve never seen Roger live so if anyone who has seen him has got different opinions from experience I’d love to hear them.

1. In the Flesh - 1999-2000 (Roger’s best tour musically by a mile with an incredible setlist, the 1999 leg featured rare performances of The Thin Ice, Part 1 of Another Brick in the Wall, a reworked version of The Powers That Be, and What God Wants, Part 1, while the 2000 leg featured the best versions of Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun and The Bravery of Being Out of Range, as well as a new song, Each Small Candle, which is a strong contender for Roger’s best solo song)
2. The Best of Pink Floyd - 2016 (this mini tour featured incredible staging and an amazing setlist, also Snowy White and Graham Broad’s last tour with Roger, which deserves some recognition)
3. The Wall Live - 2010-13 (it’s the fucking Wall live, great tour musically and visually, its only problem is the fact that it is anchored down by only featuring songs from The Wall)
4. The Dark Side of the Moon Live - 2006-08 (incredibly overlooked, Dave Kilminster’s first tour with Roger, great setlist with some rare performances, Leaving Beirut is a standout)
5. This Is Not A Drill - 2022-23 (possibly his best stage setup, and a great setlist, however the music is on the more robotic side, The Bar is the most notable performance here, and what a great song it is)
6. Us + Them - 2017-18 (great staging, and great to hear the ITTLWRW tracks live, however the rest of the setlist feels like a bit of a downgrade from the 2016 tour)
7. In the Flesh - 2002 (the departure of Doyle Bramhall II really took its toll on the second In the Flesh tour, the new song Flickering Flame is nice but nowhere near as great as Each Small Candle, and SOYCD 6-9, the only major addition, sounds pretty average here anyway)
8. The Pros and Cons of Hitch-Hiking - 1984 (Pros and Cons live is great, but the Floyd tracks are a bit of a mixed bag, The Gunner’s Dream and Nobody Home with Eric Clapton are great, but Hey You with sax is mid as hell and Wish You Were Here is actually terrible on this tour)
9. KAOS on the Road - 1987 (this is kinda hard to rank because it’s so different to the rest of the tours, I love the concept of the KAOS radio station playing the different songs with Jim Ladd hosting the gig, but like Pros and Cons the Floyd songs are a real mixed bag arrangement wise, the In the Flesh / Have a Cigar / Pigs medley is cool, but Wish You Were Here with sax is almost as bad as the Pros and Cons version, Mother and Nobody Home are also ruined by sax solos, as is Welcome to the Machine)
10. Pros and Cons Plus Some Old Pink Floyd Stuff - 1985 (the second tour for Pros and Cons took a major hit in the form of Eric Clapton’s departure, Jay Stapley is great but he’s no Clapton, Pros and Cons without Clapton doesn’t quite feel right, and Roger’s voice is blown after the 1984 tour as well, the main additions to the setlist are Parts 1 and 2 of Another Brick in the Wall, but both would peak on later tours, so they aren’t too relevant here)

You can make the same case for a lot of Roger's writing, but this album to me keeps growing in strength with every passing year. The brutalist soundscape and sharp lyrics combine for a terrific album. I love the ending trilogy of Wait For Her / Oceans Apart / Part Of Me Died.

Can't believe Crystal Clear Brooks wasn't on it though, always loved that song.

THE TRUST FALL - JULIAN ASSANGE (Documentary)Roger is one of the narrators of this documentary.

Im a young fan and was wondering if there is a chance Roger will tour the wall like he did in the past or will he even tour at all in the future, or is he completely done?

Haven't seen many posts talking about the latest posts from Roger's Instagram. I don't think the intro snippet is available anywhere so I must assume it's from his upcoming album?

Wow. This could be his final piece, and from what I've heard this isn't going to be some whimpering disjointed fade out of an 80 something year old politically active man who's lost their mind as people would love to make believe he's become.

I've seemingly gone through my Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, and then Roger Waters' phase in my life. As the new years pass by and seeing how seemingly everything's the same it was 40-50 years ago from the UK administration, the American Reaganomics, then some decades after the Middle East war.

For me, it's just a somber realization that "We the People" means nothing in America nowadays. We're progressing backwards in an age where the rich don't feel the need to hide who they truly are.

I can only fractionally understand what a jaded man like Roger feels like continuingly living in such a world where the next month or years is an aberrant prediction upon society.

Has Pink Floyd or Roger's solo messages become more stuck with you lately as it has for me?

I have a demo vinyl of Wish You Were Here that I got signed by Roger Waters on 06/10/12 in Louisville, KY at his performance of The Wall (no COA, as it was in person). It would pass any third party analysis, I'm not worried about that.

I have been going through some fairly terrible life changes, and have decided it is something that, as much as it pains me to do it, I don't need to keep it, and should potentially let someone else enjoy such a rare piece of memorabilia.

I've only seen one other demo of WYWH on eBay, so I'm not sure what value I should give to it (very good condition). I know that without a COA, the autograph is really just worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

My question to you guys is: what do you think would be a good price to put on this if I put it on eBay? I was thinking maybe a reserve of $500, and see where it goes? Am I insane to start that high, and am just over-estimating the worth of this? I would love your guys' advice; it was this subreddit, in fact, that pointed me to the sound check back in 2012 that led to me meeting Roger.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, guys and gals.

Shine on!

Or is this a "been there done that" situation for him? I honestly can't see how he won't at least do some homage for it the same way he played half of DSOTM in this is not a drill and made a re-recording of it.

I wrote this song inspired by the works of Roger Waters as a teaser to my album of originals “Before We Started The War”. Stop the war end the genocide. Sumud!
