Roger Waters has given a preview of his new song ‘The Bar’ in a benefit event for Julian Assange.

The Final Cut… Pink Floyd’s first and only album without Richard Wright, and the last with Roger Waters. As you can see it is a Roger Waters solo album… the only thing is that David Gilmour does all the guitar work, and Nick appears in some songs. The rest is all Roger Waters, and session musicians. When you look at the cover you see some stripes on a black background… and Pink Floyd-The Final Cut. When you look at the sleeve and at the album credits, you see song, after song , after...
