1987s K.A.O.S. On the Road-Tour was Roger Waters second solo tour, following the release of his album RADIO K.A.O.S. This 37-date tour covered most of North America, along with two sold-out shows in the UK at Londons Wembley Arena, and was noteworthy for its imaginative and theatrical production. The recordings on this album originate from the stop at the Colisée de Québec, Canada on the 7th of November 1987. True to Waters style, the performance featured many elaborate stage designs and visual effects, including the innovative use of lighting, circular screens, back projections and quadrophonic sound effects used to create an immersive experience to complement the storytelling aspect of the show. It was another step in Waters evolution as a solo artist, distancing himself further from his Pink Floyd roots, and exploring new thematic and musical territories. Unlike previous solo tours, the concept and storyline were presented with fan-favourite Pink Floyd material integrated into the set. These included songs from classic albums such as WISH YOU WERE HERE, THE WALL, THE FINAL CUT, 1973s legendary DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, as well as the solo outing RADIO K.A.O.S.. The tour remains an interesting chapter in Roger Waters career, showcasing his commitment to concept-driven music and narrative-driven live performances, and confirming his reputation as one of the finest performers in the history of progressive rock.
