In an unexpected move, the official Roger Waters Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/album/6jLetivEwXi3Zfdn0bEobc?si=j6rAeQ8pQBy-63VXMMT3Xw) and YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmprOhjPvaU) channels have just posted some selections from a live FM radio broadcast of a Radio KAOS show in 1987. Thus far, there’s the Jim Ladd intro and Radio Waves, Money, In The Flesh/Have A Cigar, Pigs/Wish You Were Here, Mother, The Powers That Be, Breathe and Another Brick part 1. Obviously this is just part of the show that was presented mainly in the US and Canada, with a pair of shows at Wembley Arena in London (featuring guest vocalist Clare Torry).
