Fishman on tour with Pink Floyd's Roger Waters

Fishman Acoustic Amplification, distributed exclusively in the UK and Eire by John Hornby Skewes & Co. Ltd., has been reaching a giant live audience in recent weeks as part of Roger Waters' The Wall Live Tour.

Wrapping up the US leg of the sold-out world tour on the West Coast, The Wall Live features the very latest in stagecraft, live sound, lighting technology - and a number of Fishman products.

The Wall was progressive rock group Pink Floyd's 11th studio album and later a film. Hugely successful upon its release in 1979, it went on to become one of the top selling albums of all time, with 30 million copies sold to date.

Fishman Acoustic Amplification has been well represented on the tour, with Waters using an Aura Imaging Blender through his acoustic guitar, which is equipped with a Fishman Matrix Infinity active pickup and endpin mounted preamp, on the song "Mother".

Guitarists Dave Kilminster and GE Smith are both using the incredibly versatile acoustic imaging tones of the Fishman Aura Spectrum DI on a few of the show's numbers, including "Goodbye Blue Sky" and "Is There Anybody Out There?".

The Wall Tour, which grossed nearly $90 million in the US, is set to hit Europe in early 2011, with UK dates scheduled for London, Manchester and Birmingham.
