Mumbai, Feb 18: A simple concert of over three hours consisting of a screen, some pyrotechnics, theatrical lights and music is what one can expect from today's concert if former Pink Floyd man Roger Waters is to be believed.
Though Waters might be modest in his description of today's "Dark Side of the Moon" concert, the hundreds who are expected to throng the MMRDA Grounds in Suburban Bandra will expect nothing short of a visual and aural extravaganza.
The singer-songwriter, considered the creative genius behind Pink Floyd songs like "Time" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", said he was very pleased to be back in the country after his last performance here in 2002.
"The only time I was here before was for the one gig in Bangalore but it was a very different experience. The audience here is more knowledgeable and enthusiastic and I am really happy to be back here," Waters told a press conference.
And when asked for perhaps the umpteenth time about getting back together with other band mates of Pink Floyd to perform again, the last being after over 20 years at the live
8 concert in 2005, Waters said he would "Do It Again In A Heartbeat", though he said he was not sure if the others would be as keen.
Waters, who has courted controversy for songs against US foreign policies, said he always wrote what he was concerned about and expressed concern about the way the world was proceeding politically.
"It seems to me that the West seems to be making a lot of bad choices right now," Waters, who was equally critical of right-wing Christian groups in the US and Islamic fundamentalist groups in the Middle East, said.
