The Lockdown Sessions (Roger Waters album)
The Lockdown Sessions is the sixth studio album by British musician Roger Waters, released on 9 December 2022 by Legacy Recordings. It compiles home recordings he made during lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, later remastered for this release.
Overview
All of the songs are re-recordings of tracks from Waters' previous work with Pink Floyd and solo. Most of the songs were previously performed in these versions during the encore of his Us + Them Tour.The reimagined "Comfortably Numb 2022" was introduced as the show opener for his This Is Not a Drill concerts; this rendition differs from the original version in its absence of guitar solos and being performed in a slower tempo, like a dirge.
