Roger Waters – London 1987

I love the Radio Kaos record. At the time, it felt very different to everything else that was going on. He only played two dates in Europe. The last 2 shows were at Wembley and I caught the second to last. It was amazingly interactive for its time with audience phone in requests, mock commercials and the concept album tracks mixed in with Floyd songs. Amazingly long show too. When I moved to LA 11 years later, it made even more sense – especially the participation of former KLOS DJ, Jim Ladd. Check out the amazing setlist.
