This weeks video gives an excellent view of what’s going on behind the scenes of Roger Waters 2012 The Wall Live shows.

We were contacted by the producers for Harry Waters (Part of Roger’s “The Wall Live” band and his son) – letting us know Harry’s band will be having a concert in Fort Lauderdale, when Roger Waters “The Wall Live” show hits there next month. If you’re from South Florida, or are going to be in the area for Rogers’ show, you may want to check this out as well!

The younger Waters is known to most fans as the little kid who says, “Look, mummy. There’s an airplane up in the sky,” before the ramble of an acoustic guitar during the opening of “Goodbye Blue Sky.” “I’ve grown up with it, and it’s a lot of fun,” Harry said.

Excerpt from the Press Release:

Harry Waters, 33 years old, is the first born child of Roger Waters, founding member of Pink Floyd. Roger is currently touring the world performing “The Wall”, where Harry is featured as one of two keyboard players on tour. The Wall comes to Bank Atlantic Center on June 15th. On June 18th, Harry returns to South Florida to play at Revolution Live as a fundraiser for Community Arts & Culture. He will play in a quartet setting with local musicians that are internationally known, with many years of touring and recording experience.

Also appearing at the show will be members of The Wall band including Kipp, Mark & Pat Lennon, who along with their cousin Michael Lennon are part of the band Venice. Another member of the Wall band who will be appearing is Robbie Wyckoff. Special guests Spam Allstars featuring DJ Le Spam will be performing a set joined by Harry Waters and other surprise guests.

This also may possibly appear on the forthcoming “Wall Live” DVD.

In advance of his performance of “The Wall” on Saturday at the Los Angeles Coliseum, British rocker Roger Waters stopped in on veteran rock deejay Jim Ladd’s nightly show on Sirius XM on Thursday to announce the launch of a Pink Floyd channel. The new channel is slated to launch May 29 on the satellite network.

The channel will carry Pink Floyd concerts, interviews, rarities and will air the group’s full recorded catalog.

“I can’t think of a better home for the Pink Floyd catalogue, and all the solo stuff, than SiriusXM.”

Waters said in a statement.

“How cool for all our fans and what a great way to introduce the work to new generations of listeners.”

The channel will run May 25-28 on Sirius XM channel 27, and return June 29 to July 8 on Sirius Channel 142 and XM channel 43. It will be available online full-time on channel 802 and for an extended period for smartphones and mobile devices on the Sirius XM Internet Radio App.

Ladd is a longtime advocate of Pink Floyd and was recruited by Waters as the narrator for his 1987 concept album “Radio K.A.O.S.”

A full interview with Waters about his return to Los Angeles with “The Wall” will appear in Saturday’s Calendar.

We were sent this from Cal in Pennsylvania. Apparently, in 1992 Pink Floyd gave this away at a concert. Cal isn’t the original winner of the car, but bought it off the one who was. It has 50,000 miles on it and Cal is looking to get it repainted and finished. If anyone knows more about the contest, or what Cal should do with the car, please leave a comment!
