Roger Waters returns to The Wall, making the double album Pink Floyd released in 1979 the focal point of his next tour. (dates) The 35 date trek across North America opens in Toronto September 15 and then works east - west, recreating the songs that made the release one of the biggest selling albums of all time @ more than 20 million copies. Waters, whose redesigned web site broke the tour announcement Monday (4/12), blogs that he decided to reprise The Wall on tour to confront the 'isms' that he overcame in his younger years that remain barriers to others, to commemorate those he calls 'all the innocent lost in the intervening years' and to call for an end to the 'dog eat dog ritual slaughter that is our current response to our institutionalized fear of each other.'
