In 1984, Roger Waters, while in the midst of a power struggle with David Gilmour over the creative direction of Pink Floyd, launched his solo career. It did not get off to a good start to say the least. He released his first solo album, The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking on April 30, 1984. The album dealt with the benefits and downsides of monogamy and family life vs. in Water’s words, pursuing the call of the wild. Despite guest appearances by Eric Clapton and David Sanborn, the album flopped. Rolling Stone's Kurt Loder described the disc as a "strangely static, faintly hideous record." Rogers launched a short European Tour in June 1984 in support of the album, then came to North America for about a dozen concerts. Eric Clapton joined Waters for all those 1984 shows. The set list was divided into 2 parts, with the first half consisting of Pink Floyd songs and the second half featuring the The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking album played in its entirety. This soundboard recording features Waters on July 26, 1984, 35 years ago today, in Chicago. Download this one and decide for yourself “the pros and cons” of Water’s first solo endeavor.

Thanks for this, speedy! Awesome blog!
Wow, amazing setlist esp in the first half - and really, really nice sound. Thanks for this one, speedy!
Many were waiting for a soundboard from that tour indeed, and so was I.
Thank you so much for sharing,
Derek from Paris
Lewsi, Tom and Derek - glad you enjoyed!
Glad to finally find a soundboard recording from the '84 tour. I previously had a boot called "Swedish Neurotica" which didn't even sound half as good as this one. If you only want one show from that tour, get this one. The '85 show at Radio City doesn't have Clapton, and he is sorely missing. His playing is awesome in this performance. My only gripe is that they replaced the guitar solos in "Hey You" and "Have a Cigar" with annoying sax solos instead.
I would love to hear this one. The link is dead.
new link is up - enjoy
You rock! Thank you!
I tried downloading, but the link was dead.
