He still sounds just as good as ever, no? Not sure why the quality of the video dropped so much upon being uploaded to YouTube, apologies for that.
I've also got Have a Cigar, Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb, and Sheep.

Did you hear Waters cancelled one of his most recent concerts?
As far as Waters' concert, where is David Gilmour in all of this? Is that why this is billed exclusively as "Roger Waters" and not as some type of "Pink Floyd" concert? I wonder how David Gilmour feels about this given his contributions.

I didn't. Did he say why? I know he just added a ton of shows in Europe.
As per not using the name Pink Floyd, he lost the rights to back in the 80s:
The lawsuit resulted in the members of Pink Floyd to continue with the name while Waters was financially compensated and given credit for “The Wall” album. Furthermore, after the lawsuit ruling, Waters lost his right to the band's name and membership.

Oh, that explains it. I didn't know about the Pink Floyd loss.

UPDATE
: Saturday night (Sept. 24), Waters responded to the reports from Polish media. “We haven’t,” he wrote of the reported cancelation in a statement on Facebook, calling out Krakow town councilor Łukasz Wantuch and noting that if “my forthcoming concerts in Krakow are canceled, it will be a sad loss for me, because I have been looking forward to sharing my message of love with the people of Poland, something I have been doing on many tours over a career that has lasted in excess of fifty years. And also, regrettably, it will deny the people of Krakow the opportunity to see my current show, ‘This Is Not a Drill,’ which is an important addition to a lifetime’s body of work. His draconian censoring of my work will deny them the opportunity to make up their own minds.”
Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters has canceled concerts planned in Poland amid outrage over his stance on Russia’s war against Ukraine, Polish media reported Saturday (Sept. 24).

Ah, makes sense. Yeah, I'd imagine they'd be a bit more sensitive to the Russia/Ukraine situation than folks over here in the US would be. All the same, though his views are certainly polarizing, he's the right to refuse to censor himself.
