The Lockdown Sessions is an album by British musician Roger Waters, released on 9 December 2022 by Legacy Recordings. It compiles home recordings he made during lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, later remastered for this release.
All of the songs are re-recordings of tracks from Waters' previous work with Pink Floyd ( The Wall and The Final Cut ) and solo ( Amused to Death ). Most of the songs were previously performed in these versions during the encore of his Us + Them Tour.
The reimagined "Comfortably Numb 2022" was introduced as the show opener for his This Is Not a Drill concerts; [1] [2] [3] [4] this rendition differs from the original version in its absence of guitar solos and being performed in a slower tempo, like a dirge.
All tracks are written by Roger Waters, except "Comfortably Numb 2022" written by David Gilmour and Roger Waters
