Roger Waters will be making his presence felt in the summer of 2012 with Roger Waters tickets for 40 North American concerts during the Wall Live Tour. This legendary creative force will be on the road from May 1, 2012 to July 14, 2012, starting in Houston at the Toyota Center and ending in Philadelphia at the Citizens Bank Park. He already went on the road last year and is coming back next year to revive this exceedingly popular tour. This new tour will take him to a host of major venues, like the Wrigley Field concert date on June 8th.

Roger Waters is best known as the principal creative force behind Pink Floyd, a band in which he also played bass. He played with Pink Floyd from the founding of the group in 1965 until 1985, when the rest of the band felt his creative powers were spent. He took the solo route after leaving, working at his own pace and under his own direction. Roger Waters tickets for his 2012 concert series will not be for any of that solo work though, they will be available for a re-introduction to The Wall.

The tour is part of a trend bringing the rock stars of the 1970s and early 1980s out of retirement or exile and putting them on parade once again. Waters' time with Floyd definitely counts as time spent as a rock star. He founded the group with Syd Barrett, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason. This early version of Pink Floyd had Syd Barrett as its muse. He wrote all the songs and decided the creative direction of the band, but he also suffered from a deteriorating mental health. By 1967 Barrett no longer had the mental capacity to write. Barrett's departure left a void filled by Dave Gilmour on stage and Roger Waters in the creative department.

For two decades Roger Waters defined rock genius, reaching new heights along the way with The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall. He also made himself, the rest of the band, and anyone associated with the production at the label level filthy rich (Dark Side of the Moon has reached 15-times platinum and The Wall has reached 23-times platinum). He left under contentious circumstances, but left with the rights to the album, The Wall.
