Ep.36 - Roger Waters On Tour: 1999 - 2008

In this episode of the Fingal’s Cave Podcast, we take a deeper look into the second part of the live and studio career of Roger Waters, beginning in 1999 with his return to touring “In The Flesh” after a 12 year hiatus.

Guests Mike McCartney, Nils Zehnpfennig and Adam S. recount their experiences attending several Roger Waters shows between 1999 & 2008, as well as provide insights to what it was like being a fan in the Pink Floyd community at the time. It was fans taping soundchecks and holding up banners to "play the new song" which encouraged him to premiere a brand new track, Each Small Candle, at the last show on his 1999 tour; a song regarded as one of his finest works.

Roger's creative output between 1999 to 2008 doesn't often correlate with his large scale tours, but many of these smaller gigs or studio tracks demonstrate Roger's continued prowess as a lyricist and musician, always employing the use of his touring or studio players in effective ways. You won't want to miss these insights into Roger's solo career during this period.
