Chords for Roger Waters - Interview (Press Conference Automobile Club De France 2006)

Please welcome Roger Wallace _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#] The Santa guy _
[C] _ _ Bonjour
Do you know?
We are very happy and proud to have you now in this room
We'll try to understand together how this concert came about
[N] Dark Side of the Moon will be a large part of the show not only but a large part
It's the first concept album concept album of the history of the music
_ It's also the first Pink Floyd album you completely wrote
What place does it have in you in your heart tell me?
_ Well Dark Side of the Moon, I think was
_ the final
_ _ Coming together of the four talents of the four of us who were involved in the band
it was a piece that we had been working slowly towards through the preceding albums through a
Montgomery and metal and with songs like echoes and things like that and in Dark Side of the Moon [F#] we finally achieved the
synthesis if you like of the
[G] _ creative
_ [F#] talents that were in the [G] band and
[B] _ It is a very complete [F#] work that still sounds quite fresh today.
So I'm really looking [N] forward to doing it live.
Yeah fun
Yeah, just as I don't know we'll be playing we'll be played during the second part of the concepts
What is your program for the first part? _
Well, I'm not sure exactly [Gm] what all the songs are I wrote a list [G#] out
Yesterday is it Monday today?
Yeah.
Yeah yesterday and so I have a list of about I suppose
15 or 16 songs and I will rehearse all of those songs with my band and then we will decide
[G] What we're gonna what we're gonna put stuff a lot of it
I suspect quite a lot of it will be stuff that I performed a few years ago when I was on the road
but I'm doing _
[F#] Hopefully four songs that I've not done before a couple of old Pink Floyd songs and a couple of new songs
Nick Mason will be at your side for a few songs in this concerts
He will how best to describe your complicity that goes from the school benches
How what your complicity with him describe it to us well, obviously he's the co-pilot
Yeah, I'm in the left seat.
He's actually he flies and I don't
Nick and I are very old friends and
_ [G#] _ _
He played
_ Set the controls with me on my [F#] last tour when I played in London and then of course at live 8 last summer
When we when the four of us played together on stage
_ _ It was great it was really good fun and he and I
_ [A] Spend a lot of time together, you know, we go on holiday together with our families
And so I really look forward to working with him on this.
I had really decided that I [N] wasn't gonna work this summer _
until until the Magnet core thing was suggested to me and
the idea of doing Dark Side of the Moon and
the fact that it's on
Cato Shui a Feeder month
was interesting to me and so I
[F#] So think well, maybe that sounds like [Em] fun
You know, it could be it could be a really good [E] gig and I could work with Nick and we could do this thing
Which I've never done.
I haven't done Dark Side of the Moon live since _
1974 last question to perform a concert on the cat or Julia in France
_ During the centennial of the French Grand Prix
What frame of [G] mind will be in?
Um, _ _ _ well, you know
_ Bastida is important to everyone in the world because it reminds us of the Declaration they do at the long and of August the 10th
the following year and
You know when for the first time
_ anyone
established the idea that individual human beings have rights and I think that's fundamentally [F#] important idea that
your evolution gave us and
That together with you know, the American Constitution from whatever
[G#] Those are very important documents and ones that we need to be carefully rereading now
You know, particularly the current [F#] administration [G] in the United States and and and my government in England who seem to have lost the plot
Slightly I have to say maybe that's [A] hello [B] Roger
I'm Robin the correct from a best corner magazine and I wanted to know who you gonna be playing with
Well, the guys the guys playing with you the band yeah
_ _ _ _ Well _
It's it's the usual band [A#] except I'm still I've come down to a couple of people whose names I'm not going to mention yet
Who for the lead guitar player, but everybody else is so I've always used Graham Broad Andy Fairweather low _ _
Snowy white John Karen my son Harry Katie [G] Kasson
_ Pat Arnold
_ Carol _
[E] _ _ _ Dark dark, that's about it.
It's a different saxophone player this time a guy called Ian Ritchie.
Who's [F] a
Who I've worked with in record production in the past, but his main love is the tenor saxophone
_ _ _ _ That's it
Do you have enough?
material in stock for a new a new [A#] album like the pros and cons of [N] each again, I
Do yeah, I have
[A] must have [Gm] a dozen songs [G] that I've recorded in various stages of development [F#] and _
There's definitely one album
_ Somewhere in there clawing its way to the surface and hopefully it will escape shortly
There may even be two albums that may be why I haven't finished anything.
It may be that there's one political record and
_ I'm one
You know record that would be more like a sequel to the present parts of hitchhiking and that it would be more about
Relationships and sex and love [G#] and all of that the other [D#] side of the human affair
_ I've heard stories that you have bought some racing cars
What you're the sport?
In fact, I still have one Ferrari at [F#] home.
I've got a Dino 246 GT spider
_ Which I keep in a sort of warm garage because it's such a beautiful little motor car and I love it
And I really use it
But no the man with the with the great [A] passion for motor racing [F#] is Nick Mason
[G] Who will be playing [G#] drums with me on front and he his [F#] father Roland Hill Barclay Mason made a series of wonderful
_ Films for the shell film unit on the history of motor racing, which I'm sure a lot of people in this room will know
[G#] _ _
and
He used to [E] race blown
[G#] 29 four and a half liter Bentleys
You know as an amateur
the old Lamar Bentley and Nick got that _
bug from his father and
When I first met [F#] him, I remember he had one car then it was the thing
It was an Austin nippy, which is an Austin seven
but it had a fishtail and it was a sort of little tiny pretend racing car and
Very soon when we were at [E] college
I remember him going and spending his grant on a one and a half [G] liter Aston International
1929 [G#] Aston Martin International and from then [F#] on every time he made a few few quid from rock and roll
He spent it on cars and he's got an incredible collection of cars now, which he will tell you about
I know he's I think he's coming later to do some press on this thing and he has an extraordinary collection
I think you'll have to do [N] a short picture.
Okay, everybody.
I think we were standing next to there.
So everybody was Thank _ you _ _ _ _
