AFG : A Celebration Of Radio K.A.O.S : Part 4 : More Unseen Photos From Arie Crown Theatre Chicago 1987

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting GlimpsePosted on by

Radio K.A.O.S. is the second solo studio album by English rock musician and former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters. Released on 15 June 1987 in the United Kingdom and June 16 in the United States, it was Waters’ first solo album after his formal split from Pink Floyd in 1985. Like his previous and future studio albums and many works of his during his time with Pink Floyd, the album is a concept album based on many key topical subjects of the late 1980s, including monetarism and its effect on citizens, popular culture of the time, and the events and consequences of the Cold War. It also makes criticisms of Margaret Thatcher’s government, much like Pink Floyd’s The Final Cut, another album conceived by Waters.

The album follows Billy, a mentally and physically disabled man from Wales, forced to live with his uncle David in Los Angeles after his brother Benny was sent to prison after an act intended to support striking coal miners results in the death of a taxi driver, following his dismissal from his mining job due to “market forces.” The album explores Billy’s mind and view on the world through an on-air conversation between him and Jim, a disc jockey at a local fictitious radio station named Radio KAOS.

Earlier this year we launched a celebration series in which we spoke to band members of the recording and touring band, including showcasing never before seen photography from the supporting tour, along with a few surprises thrown in.

We did not intend to add this installment but have been clearing the vaults and have found some content that wasnt included in our previous postings back in August.

In this this instalment we are showcasing a further collection of never before seen photographs from Roger Waters Radio KAOS tour live on November 14th 1987 at Arie Crown Theatre Chicago, Illinois, USA.
