Roger Waters - This Is Not A Drill Tour 2023 - Paris - Accor Arena - 03-05-2023 - video 1 Opening Comfortably Numb 2022 : Before lockdown I had been working on a demo of a new version of ‘Comfortably Numb’ as an opener to our new show “This Is Not A Drill”. I pitched it a whole step down, in A Minor, to make it darker and arranged it with no solos, except over the outro, where there is a heartrendingly beautiful vocal solo from one of our new sisters Shanay Johnson. It’s intended as a wakeup call, and a bridge towards a kinder future with more talking to strangers, either in “The Bar” or just “Passing in the Street” and less slaughter “In Some Foreign Field.” Here it is. Love R. The video is by Sean Evans. The mix is by Gus Seyffert. The Happiest Days of Our Lives : is a song by Pink Floyd. It appeared on The Wall album in 1979. Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 : is a three-part composition on Pink Floyd’s 1979 rock opera The Wall, written by bassist Roger Waters. “Part 2“, a protest song against corporal punishment, and rigid and abusive schooling, features a children’s choir. At the suggestion of producer Bob Ezrin, Pink Floyd added elements of disco. Another Brick in the Wall, Part 3 : Following a violent breakdown in “Part 3“, Pink dismisses everyone he knows as “just bricks in the wall.“
