Roger Waters performed an acoustic set at the Newport Folk Festival with My Morning Jacket as his backing band over the weekend. The boys played a set of Pink Floyd classics (“Wish You Were Here,” “Mother,” “Brain Damage,” “Eclipse”), a couple of Waters’ solo cuts (“Amused to Death,” “The Bravery of Being out of Range”) and even a couple covers (John Prine’s “Hello in There,” Buddy Guy’s “Wide River to Cross,” and Bob Dylan’s “Forever Young”). The Dylan song came on the 50th anniversary of Dylan’s famous electric set at Newport. Vocalist Amy Helm, daughter of Levon Helm, Lucius, fiddler Sara Watkins, and guitarist G.E. Smith also joined the all-star line up. Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
