Notes
* The Rose Garden show in Portland, Oregon was both filmed and recorded and subsequently released as a DVD and double CD titled '']''.

== 2002 ==

The success of Waters' two American tours encouraged him to make his 2002 tour a world tour. The set list for 2002 was similar to the previous tour with the addition of another new song, "Flickering Flame",<ref name="manning146">{{cite book|last=Manning|first=Toby|title=The Rough Guide to Pink Floyd|year=2006|publisher=Rough Guides|location=London|isbn=1-84353-575-0|page=146|edition=1st|chapter=Which One's Pink?}}</ref> which was substituted periodically for "Each Small Candle" as the encore. The band also changed with the departure of Doyle Bramhall II, his wife and back up singer Sussanah Melvoin and Jon Carin. Brought in was Chester Kamen (replacing Bramhall), Linda Lewis as back up singer (who later was replaced by Carol Kenyon due to personal issues), and ] (son of frontman Roger Waters) to replace Carin. By far the most historical moment of this or any of Waters in the Flesh tours came at London's ] as former Pink Floyd bandmate and drummer ] sat in and played both nights on "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun".

Roger Waters concert chronology

In The Flesh was a series of worldwide concert tours by Roger Waters that spanned three individual tours over the course of three years (1999, 2000, and 2002). Returning from a 12-year-long hiatus from the road, In The Flesh was a showcase of his best known work from his days with Pink Floyd, with that material dominating shows. Songs were also performed from Waters' most recently released solo album, 1992's Amused to Death, being played live for the first time. The tour's name is an allusion to the 1977 Pink Floyd tour for the Animals album, as well as the two songs so titled on the album The Wall.

The tour was a financial success in the United States. Because of Waters' long absence from the music scene, promoters and other industry figures were unsure of how well a Waters tour would do commercially, and were surprised when tickets began selling rapidly as soon as the were put on sale. In a number of cases, dates booked in smaller venues such as theatres were moved into larger ones such as outdoor amphitheatres or arenas.

The 1999 portion of the tour ended up grossing $6.7 million from 21 shows, with a total of some 243,000 people attending.

The 2000 portion of the tour coincided with the release of Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall Live 1980–81, commemorating Pink Floyd's historic live performance of The Wall, and the tour and the release were cross-promoted. The tour eventually stretched across the world and spanned three years. During the tour, Waters played two new songs, "Flickering Flame" or "Each Small Candle", as the final encore to many of the shows. In June 2002, he completed the tour with a performance in front of 70,000 people at the Glastonbury Festival of Performing Arts.

The 27 June 2000 performance at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, Oregon was later released as the CD and DVD In the Flesh – Live (several other shows were filmed as well, with announcements being made alerting attendees to this fact).

1999

The concert show consisted of his most famous tracks from the beginning of his Pink Floyd career. Along with the popular acclaim, the show received critical praise from various artists and magazines.

  1. New song "Each Small Candle" performed for the first time

2000

Following the startling success of the 1999 tour, Waters mounted an even more extensive tour, touching areas of the country ignored on previous tours. The set list was also altered with "The Thin Ice", "Another Brick In The Wall part 1", "The Powers That Be" and "What God Wants" being removed in favour of "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun", "Bravery of Being Out of Range" and new song titled "Each Small Candle". The backing band was relatively the same as the previous tour, with an addition of a backup singer and a new saxophone player for the songs "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" and "Money".

Notes

  • The Rose Garden show in Portland, Oregon was both filmed and recorded and subsequently released as a DVD and double CD titled In the Flesh – Live.

2002

The success of Waters' two American tours encouraged him to make his 2002 tour a world tour. The set list for 2002 was similar to the previous tour with the addition of another new song, "Flickering Flame", which was substituted periodically for "Each Small Candle" as the encore. The band also changed with the departure of Doyle Bramhall II, his wife and back up singer Sussanah Melvoin and Jon Carin. Brought in was Chester Kamen (replacing Bramhall), Linda Lewis as back up singer (who later was replaced by Carol Kenyon due to personal issues), and Harry Waters (son of frontman Roger Waters) to replace Carin. By far the most historical moment of this or any of Waters in the Flesh tours came at London's Wembley Arena as former Pink Floyd bandmate and drummer Nick Mason sat in and played both nights on "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun".

Tour band
  • Roger Waters: guitar, bass guitar, vocals
  • Andy Fairweather Low: guitar, bass guitar, vocals
  • Snowy White: guitar
  • Chester Kamen: vocals, guitar
