A Tribute to the Original…
The inspiration for the reimagined album came from Waters’ work on ‘The Lockdown Sessions’ EP, which led him to consider ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ as a suitable candidate for a similar reworking. Waters said, “It occurred to me that Dark Side of the Moon could well be a suitable candidate for a similar re-working, partly as a tribute to the original work, but also to re-address the political and emotional message of the whole album.”
In a subsequent statement, Waters emphasized that the project is not intended to replace the original album, but rather serves as a reflection on his younger self. “It is a way for the seventy-nine-year-old man to look back across the intervening fifty years into the eyes of the twenty-nine-year-old and say, to quote a poem of mine about my Father, ‘We did our best, we kept his trust, our Dad would have been proud of us,'” he explained.
Waters will be joined on stage for the live performance by musicians including Gus Seyffert, Joey Waronker, Jonathan Wilson, Johnny Shepherd, Via Mardot, Azniv Korkejian, Gabe Noel, Jon Carin, and Robert Walter. The concert will be designed by his long-time Creative Director, Sean Evans.
