Director Sean Evans shot this concert film in stunning 8K with enhanced audio at Prague’s O2 Arena last May, and Waters was a director as well. The show was stop 57 on Roger Waters’ last world tour.

Fans will hear “Us & Them,” “Comfortably Numb,” and “Wish You Were Here,” plus a fresh track called “The Bar.” Nine skilled players back Waters on stage: Jonathan Wilson, Dave Kilminster, Jon Carin, Gus Seyffert, Joey Waronker, Robert Walter, Shanay Johnson, Amanda Belair, and Seamus Blake.
