Hello Camel Trackers
WHO'S ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spring of 2006 has seen a great deal of unexpected
activity behind the scenes. Earlier this spring, Andrew Latimer was
approached by Andy Fairweather Low and asked if he would be
interested in joining Roger Waters on his forthcoming tour. It seems
that Roger is touring this summer, and will be performing the whole
of Dark Side of the Moon during the second half of the concert.
Roger needed a guitarist who could play, and sing, like David
Gilmour.
As Andrew is always interested in new challenges, and especially
such an interesting one, he presented Roger with the appropriate
material and then met with the band for a rehearsal. As there was no
question about his playing ability, his vocal ability was all that
needed proving. Although their voices are very similar in many
aspects, Gilmour sings fully one and a half tones above Latimer's
range and this put a fierce strain on his vocal chords. On recent
Camel tours, Andrew has encountered difficulties with singing due to
the general pressure he was under. Realising his voice wouldn't
manage an entire tour, Andrew and Roger "had a good ol' chin wag"
about the feasibility of his doing it, and agreed it was too risky.
Thus the guitarist appearing on the Roger Waters tour will be Dave
Kilminster.
Of course we at CP were just a tad disappointed, but Andrew so
enjoyed the experience, the excitement was palpable. Hearing his
reports that Roger was a "gracious and really nice bloke" made the
experience that much more memorable for all of us. Roger has invited
Andrew and Susan to the London and Shoreline performances, so if
you're up for a great concert you just might see them there. We're
all certainly going to a show (check out
http://www.roger-waters.comfor info). All at CP wish Roger, and his band, a successful tour.
And, of course, you never know what the future may hold. Afterall,
who would have thought Andrew might one day be on stage playing Pink
Floyd?!
