Waters: Ready For The Final Dark Side
For more than a quarter of a century, Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon has been one of the great, iconic albums.
And for the last three years, Roger Waters, the mastermind behind it, has been playing the album in full on a solo world tour that carries the same name.
But tonight the piece could be performed for the last time in the UK, when Waters plays the second of two London dates.
"I'm very happy I've done it, because it's an enormous pleasure to play it every night."
"We've done it 160 or 170 times now so we've got better and better at it as time's gone on."
However he can't seem to totally rule out playing it again: "Never say never, who knows if we might do it again at some point. But, I've come to the end of this particular piece of repertoire."
Pink Floyd, for all their success in the 1970s and 80s, have had a troubled time.
They split, acrimoniously, when Waters left the band in 1985. Court cases followed, but they managed to put aside differences for a one-off reunion at Live 8 in 2005.
"I found it deeply moving, we rehearsed for a couple of days before that," Waters remembers. "But it was really interesting to hear those four musical voices in the same place for one maybe last time."
Unsurprisingly, there's been some considerable pressure on Pink Floyd to reform. The financial incentives would of course be massive.
But Waters insists the decision lies not with him, but with former bandmate Dave Gilmore: "It's up to Dave really.
"Dave's very against the idea, and so you never know he might change his mind at some point. I'd do it in a heartbeat."
There are still tickets for the show at London's O2 Arena. The Dark Side of the Moon tour concludes in St Petersburg early next month.
