ROGER WATERS
Newport 2015 [no label, 1CD]
Live at the Newport Folk Festival, Fort Adams State Park, Newport, RI; July 24, 2015. Very good audience recording (some crowd chatter around the taper, fortunately, nothing terribly intrusive).
Josh Antonuccio, woub.org (July 29, 2015):
Last weekend, the Newport Folk Festival celebrated the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan’s legendary electric performance in 1965… However, one of the most magical moments took place on Friday night. The evening started with a surprise set by My Morning Jacket, who remained on stage to join the headliner: Roger Waters.
Up to that point, Roger Waters was billed as having a surprise backing band who, to the crowd’s amazement, ended up being My Morning Jacket. Waters walked out at the end of their set and launched into the debut of a new solo song (accompanying himself on piano, a first for the former Pink Floyd bassist/singer). The remainder of his set consisted of Floyd favorites, solo material and choice covers by John Prine and Bob Dylan. Longtime Waters guitarist GE Smith was also on hand, along with other guests, including Lucius, Sara Watkins and Amy Helm.
