Rock fans in Shanghai were once again lucky when Roger Waters,
former leader of the legendary rock band Pink Floyd, came to town
on Monday, staging an unforgettable show at the Shanghai Grand
Stage.
Fans -- teenagers and adults, Chinese and expats -- were
captivated as the star re-staged some of Pink Floyd's classics,
including In the Flesh? and hit songs from their
best-selling album Dark Side of the Moon.
The touted performance is to be Waters' only one on the Chinese
mainland during his 2007 world tour. He will stop in Hong Kong on
Thursday.
With a burgeoning rock scene of its own, the city of Shanghai
has welcomed a number of world-renowned musicians lately, including
the Rolling Stones and late legendary musician James Brown.
