One of the most underrated concerts I ever saw. The stadium wasn't anywhere near full. So many people missed one hellofa show. I've probably seen over 200 concerts in my lifetime. This was certainly in the top 20, maybe even the top 10. It was a very good concept album that played so well live. This clip doesn't show the whole concert on the tour, he played the entire Radio K.A.O.S. album. The ending was very dramatic. the song Four Minutes practically scared the heck out of you when played live and The Tide is Turning was very cathartic. It left you with hope.
Totally agree! I remember I had tickets to a lot of really good concerts that summer, but Roger was the first. I remember thinking, well he's just ruined me for the rest of the concerts cause that's THE best concert I'll ever see! Still in my top 5 of all time. Loved every minute of this show!
I saw the tour at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Loved that concert, one of the first ones I went to as an adult. We had amazing seats on the floor that I think cost $18. Never forget that night.
Every Waters Tour is a masterpiece. I have seen them all since Pros and Cons in 84. Hopefully we get past this Covid and he can reschedule his "This Is Not A Drill" tour. With everything that has happened in the world in the past couple years he's gonna gave a lot to say. I do know they were rehearsing "The Powers That Be" from KAOS for the new tour...

I fell that it is an absolute atrocity that RW never professionally filmed this tour to be released commercially in the vein of Delicate Sound of Thunder which his former band did the same year. Radio KAOS is the most underrated rock album & it’s subsequent KAOS tour is the most underrated tour of all time, in my humble opinion. I challenge anyone who disagrees to tell me why.
I would agree with you, but the Pros and Cons was very underrated also. Loved both shows and had row 6 center stage for Pros concert. We sat 5th rows just left of the stage for K.A.O.S. The sound of a Roger concert was the most amazing sound ever (other than PF live). Can't wait for October 3rd for Roger in Phoenix. I will tell you if it compares with the other Roger shows.
True. Of even more historical importance it's a real shame Pink Floyd's 1970s tours plus The Wall Tour weren't recorded or when they were (eg The Wall Tour) they weren't recorded properly. I do wish Roger's Pros and Cons tour and this one (like you said) had been properly recorded as well. I'd love to have been able see those in high quality.
One of my favorite things about Roger waters is you can take one song, hear it evolve over the years, listen to 100’s of times and each time it is different.
One of my best memories of boarding school was a hippy-punk (?) woman from 'Frisco, took a bunch of us to see the Radio KAOS Tour at SPAC in NY, August 28th, '87!
Best concert EVER! Big Mac arena, Denver. After the band left the stage and the house lights came on almost no one left. Some just stood there in their bewilderment, I sat down trying to process what I just experienced.
Caught this tour in Philly...It was a great show...I seem to remember an intermission and he played Nobody Home, Arnold Layne video, Pros and Cons, and Sunset Strip....Thanks for posting as it brought me back to a fun night a long time ago...
I have seen many shows,here in Quebec City but that night was magical. Every body was so high and Roger did not let us down. This show and Supertramp in '83 are the greatest shows ever at the old Colisée.
Molly's Song and Four Minutes makes my chest explode. I wish this tour had an official release on vinyl or CD. WOW they don't have shows like this anywhere anymore. Goodbye Little Spy In The Sky!!
Merci Roger de parler français dans tes show. J'étais là en 87, j'avais 18 ans... J'étudiais au Cégep. Je suis allée à tous tes show depuis, même celui du FEQ sur les plaines d'Araham. Une exception que je regrette encore, le show à l'Agora de Québec... L'erreur musicale de ma vie!
Here's a hint and a task for the pros out there: The September 17, 1987 show at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, Arizona was broadcast live to France. WHY?!?!?! No idea. There were professional camera systems up and running during that show. Anyone know if there is a recording of this?
I saw this concert twice! I was living in Boston back then. I went to the show at Great Woods in Mansfield, and the last show of the US Tour in Worcester, MA. Unforgettable!
I love Roger’s early solo tours so much! I love David’s Pink Floyd too, but Roger’s first two solo tours felt so much more ambitious than what Pink Floyd was doing at the time. Roger’s musician-entourage was so skilled and tight that I love it! He reinvented the material and gave them new interpretations which will always be more rewarding than just hearing a straight cover of the studio versions of the songs. That’s what makes the live versions exciting!
Saw RK at MSG, incredible for it's time. Not many bands had this type of live show 30 years ago (think Bowie Glass Spider.) I saw Pink Floyd(2) a month later, Good, but not as impressive as what Waters did. I ended up going to see Waters for a 2nd time on the RK tour because the show was so good.
Same. I saw Radio Kaos tour and I also saw In the Flesh tour....Front Row, Center. Nashville, Starwood Ampitheater (now closed). Great night. Also saw Gilmore Floyd at Vandy.
One of the best shows I've ever seen and I have seen a lot of shows, my father had a ticket scalping op outta N.Y. any show I wanted to go too. He made sure we were always in within the first 5 rows, if not front n center! 😎🤠 My father was a god too me!!! An my friends I might add 😁
Increíble encontrar este video que nos compartes. Como increíble fue, el día que compré mi primer CD. Y ese CD era Welcome to Machin de Roger Waters en Quebec este mismo concierto , con un sonido increíble como el de este video. El CD era y es pirata. Gracias por este regalo, jamás pensé que lo pudiera ver en vídeo.

When I first bought this CD I thought it was the last album I would ever buy! It to me ranks up there with The Wall, like a not very close second. But one that should have been way more well known than it is. And yah I’ve seen Roger Waters, and Pink Floyd several times live, so there was no doubt it would be awesome live, it just wasn’t in the cards for me to see. So thanks for this sincerely!❤️
Me too... x 6? Each tour Floyd/David/Roger would hit the Arena for ~6 nights, and as affordable as tix were back then (sorry kids, I feel ya) I hit all the shows. Couldn't resist. 😀
I was at radio k a o s in 1987 phx Arizona major waters fan an still feel see an listen to Roger his concerts you can't explain u had or have to witness the creativity Roger brings stl amazes myself pro an cons tour also amazing the wall should be on Broadway someday kp jammn these gr8 songs an concerts an I will be there over an over by the way which one pink
I saw him in portland that only held about 6,500 people. The Rey radio chaos tour was awesome! There was a guy sitting in the Fake radio Booth 10-15 feet off the stage. Every time Billy would talk to him the movie War Games. So every time Billy spoke it would come across and do the letters in front of the fake radio station booth. At some point in time I can't remember but yeah one of the disc mind and with the crazy lights and stuff that look like a plane flying through mountains and stuff I was like well I'm going to fall through the hole for a second Lol. If you listen to Rodger Waters radio Kaos it's definitely his second or third so album I think he did two solos and one with the pink flood. So for 15 or 20 minutes I felt like I was going to fall through the hole in the stage then Tunes changed and he was playing something else I kind of snapped out of it. The album radio Kaos if you know about it he's talking to Jimmy and Jimmy is a robot at Jimmy's asking all these questions or eventually he gets the point where he says what is the big red button do and the guys is nothing don't touch the trigger about me and it was like he figured it out cuz he was hooked in the whole world now and he was like heels I'm going to push the red button and the guy was like no don't push it and he pushed it and also the countdown and the music at building building and what is hit 10 the whole place went silent instantly and in that 7,000 people you could have heard a pin drop it was a simulated nuclear explosion done with sound!!! It was definitely probably one of the best things I have ever seen in my entire life musically. I didn't think it was possible to build sound up so much that one stop in an instant you could literally feel the wave sound hate you boom a couple people almost fell down. after that show I was like I'm going to see every Pink Floyd show & all waters shows....
Billy was a guy with cerebral palsy and his brother was a miner in Wales. When the miners strike happened Billy and his brother went looting and billy got a cellular phone and his it in his wheelchair. They both went out that night and his brother threw a breeze block off an overpass. This got him arrested so billy was sent to live in LA with his uncle. He figured out how to connect the satellite phone to all sorts , phoning Jim at the radio station and was able to trigger a false nuclear attack. It's all there.
@@heybamanba1 yeah and you could see the radio booth and the words would go across the screen like WarGames. When Jimmy tells the disc jockey he's going to push the button. The DJ replies what button? Then Billy says the big red button. Then they started the countdown into a nuclear explosion except using sound! It was a good album good Concepts and a good show! I am Billy I hear radio waves in my head?
This was an insane show. Which song had the video of the dude with head wound which bled thru the bandage every time they wrapped it around his skull. It was brutal.
Heureusement que la tournée 2020 sera reporté plutôt que canceller 👍 Celui-ci parcontre... Hallucinants comme la plupart des autres que je suis allé voir! Roger l'âme de Floyd je suis fan✊
I seen this tour Amazing two weeks later I seen Floyd for the first time without Walters seen Floyd 3 times with Walters stayed for 3 songs and walked out on Pink Floyd
I was 17 and I had my choice between this in Tacoma, or "Pink Floyd" in Seattle. They were both playing the same night. I went with Gilmour and Co., even though Roger was always my favorite thing in the band, The Wall my favorite album, etc. I took a bus to Seattle and spent the night outside the Kingdome to get tickets. I was first in one of 5 lines around the stadium, and got amazing center stage tickets (a month later they anounced a change to general seating, lol). My mother paid to fly me and my girlfriend out and back on a small charter flight. We still had pretty good seats. And I deeply regret my decision to this day.
@James Robertson I felt like I was watching a movie the whole time. It was so impersonal and rehearsed. It was also the first time I'd heard Gilmour milk 15 minutes out of the Comfortably Numb solo, and I found it annoying. I've since been to a couple of Roger's shows, and the way he connects with the audience feels to me more like what a concert should be. If I want a good Gilmour show, I'll watch Hammersmith over Pulse, Delicate Sound, etc. Now that's a great freaking Gilmour concert.
Yes, I completely agree. I remember seeing both tours a couple of times each and while Roger's was so exciting, I was actually and surprisingly bored at the Pseudo Floyd shows.
@@rft2001 @ R.F. you made me laugh.which I needed.kinda like when a friends opine all hardly laugh,yet he knows not why.thank you for a lift of spirit.
@@phillipmorris4555 You're welcome. Hey, is that Roger scream really done with inhaling instead of exhaling? I've always been amazed at his insane screams over the years but never could figure out how he did it.
@@rft2001 Forrest from my research it really is a inhaling ( demonkon? 1980 live he does both...I think he learned from Did the took it to a crazy level.but if you inhale screeching racoons sounds mess up the vocal cords. A 1980 version is most best but I'm sure he has stopped it but still throws his voice all over.....( Run like hell but the right gig that night). Again thanks -x( is dash ex) or ( minus , negative,....times? Just quarter rotate the + to get it...over and out .
Sorry this took so long to respond to. But I do not own the rights to the video posted here. I wish I did, however I do not. I give my permission, although I don’t know if you’ll get in trouble or not if you use it without permission from the broadcaster
@@robertbrown8362 If you disagree with his anti-trump stuff, I think you may have missed the point of all of his music that's ever had a political message
