Universal Studios Home Entertainment has revealed that it plans to release on Blu-ray Roger Waters: The Wall (2014). The release will be available for purchase on December 1.

Synopsis: Roger Waters, co-founder and principal songwriter of Pink Floyd, fuses the epic and the personal in Roger Waters The Wall, a concert film that goes well beyond the stage. Based on the groundbreaking concept album, Roger Waters The Wall could be called a concept film: it's a state-of-the-art show that dazzles the senses, combined with an intensely personal road trip that deals with the loss Roger has felt throughout his life due to war.

On stage and now on film, Waters has channelled his convictions into his art and his music. With Roger Waters The Wall, Waters – together with his fellow musicians and his creative collaborators – brings audiences an exultant ride of a rock and roll concert, and delivers an unforgettable, deeply emotional experience.

Coming to cinemas worldwide on Tuesday 29 September, including The Simple Facts, an exclusive in-conversation between Nick Mason and Roger Waters. Find your nearest cinema screening and book tickets at http://www.rogerwatersthewall.com

Poor Roger, he just can't seem to get over himself.

He needs to move on from the 'Floyd. He claims to have written "lots" of new material but "can't find a collaborator to work with".

which means he still can't find someone to put up with his sh1t for any length of time.

I'm not a Roger Waters fan, but I am a huge Pink Floyd fan and also know several people who attended one the shows here in N.A. and Europe. They all said it was truly spectacular. As such, I will definitely pick this up.

I do hope with the release of this film that Roger now stops milking The Wall, as enough is enough.

I didn't go to his concert in my town for this tour, but I did go see him during the DSotM tour he had around a decade ago. He puts a hell of a show, and since I'm not into his newer material I'm ok with this milking of Pink Floyd lol. I see my dad picking this one up, like he did with In the Flesh and The Wall in Berlin. David Gilmour will probably do the same next year when he's done with his current tour.

Saucerful · 09-28-2015, 04:18 PM

I saw him on the first leg of the tour (2010) in Auburn Hills. I loved it, especially never having seen Floyd or any of its members live. I knew the tour was too spectacular for it not to be documented, and I'm glad that's being done here. There's a one-off screening of this in my city this week (or maybe it's next week) but I'm going to hold off for the disc.

I saw PF in Montreal in 1977 during the In The Flesh tour, which was the last concert of that tour. IMO he is a marginal guitar player, a poor singer, but an excellent lyricist. YMMV.

He has not produced a body of work since 2005 and has only worked on The Wall. Enough already Roger......show me something new.

When did he say that? The last thing I recall is that he had put together a demo for his new solo album and was starting to work on it in earnest. It sounds like an interesting project and if it's half as good as AMUSED TO DEATH I'll be happy.

I saw his WALL show twice and it was spectacular both times. I'll be getting this Blu-ray for sure.

I saw him in concert on the Wall tour in Kansas City back in 2010 when I was just 17, and I'm seeing the actual original film of The Wall in theaters tomorrow night at the local AMC for that nationwide event they're running. I'll be picking this up day one as I'm a huge fan and I'd love to see the concert again!

HotRats · 09-28-2015, 05:40 PM

More details here http://www.billboard.com/articles/re...ll-film-review I really hope this is the end of The Wall for him (apart from releases of the Alan Parker film and the Berlin concert). Apparently he's just split from his wife and there are rumours of an autobiography.

Just so you're not disappointed… that "nationwide event" you're seeing tomorrow night at AMC is a one-night theatrical screening of this new blu-ray: the 2010/2011 concert of Roger Waters' The Wall. It is NOT the original film "Pink Floyd The Wall" (which still desperately needs a blu-ray release).

JeffTheMovieGuy · 09-28-2015, 06:15 PM

That's all good and all but where is the original release already?

Harlock415 · 09-28-2015, 07:18 PM

I'm glad it's not he Berlin concert film as I thought it was rather disappointing in choices of some of the artists. But I'll be getting this. Too bad I'll miss the theatrical presentation of this as I have to work, though.

Poor Roger, that'll be wife number 4 that he's divorced.

After 4 divorces perhaps it's time to look inside oneself.

oh please Universal put the Dolby Atmos on the bluray edition.

sancho · 09-28-2015, 11:13 PM

I got to see Pink Floyd (Without Waters) in 87, 88 and 94. Awesome shows!

Arawn · 09-28-2015, 11:25 PM

I was there in 94!

frogmort · 09-28-2015, 11:39 PM

Me too! Death Valley stadium in Clemson, South Carolina '94.

I hope to God that there is an option to watch the concert in it's entirety, completely uninterrupted. If this is one of those where they start talking over the concert and keep cutting away to interviews back and forth, I won't get it. It seems to be a 2 BD set, so I'm hoping that maybe one disc is the whole 'movie' with all of the documentary stuff, and the other one is just the concert. Better yet would be seamless branching like on Iron Maiden: Flight 666. You could choose the whole danged thing or just the live songs.

Eny- · 09-29-2015, 08:47 AM

I went to the Lisbon show in 2011. Since I never got the chance to see the Floyd live, this is the best show ever. This and the Australian Pink Floyd concert
