Roger Waters' album Amused To Death (1992) live on stage, in clubs, theatres and larger concert halls. That's what you gotta have with Dutch tribut band Infloyd this year. The album, released in 1992, is considered by many to be a true masterpiece, not in the least by Roger Waters himself. In an interview with the BBC in 2013 Waters stated that he considers Amused To Death (1992) and The Dark Side Of The Moon (1973) to be his best work.
The musical performance and the production quality of the album have been praised by many. And the theme, the influence of mass media on society, is still very relevant today. The album can be construed as the musical rendition of a philosophical phrase. A profound outcry, drawing the listener into one scene after another, with various musical styles – classical music, pop and rock – coming together in one visual, cinematic whole.
Amused To Death (1992) has never been played live before, not even by Roger Waters himself. Infloyd is the first tribute band to perform the whole album live. And that’s not all: they will also play the other Waters masterpiece, The Dark Side Of The Moon (1973), in its entirety on their 2014 tour.
Dates:
6 September - Boerderij, Zoetermeer
10 October - Luxor, Arnhem
11 October - Dynamo, Eindhoven
18 October - De Romein, Leeuwarden
12 December - Naxt Stage, Almelo
