The band

Line up for the 2002 tour

There has been a few changes in the line up since the US tour. Doyle Bramhall, Jon Carin and Susannah Melvoin has left for other engagements, and replaced by Chester Kamen, Harry Waters and Linda Lewis. Norbert Stachel is now a permanent member of the band and the show will feature more of his saxophone. Linda Lewis was again replaced by Carol Kenyon halfway through the tour.

The audience at the two London concerts had the very rare chance of seeing Roger Waters on stage with his old friend from Pink Floyd: Nick Mason played the drums on Set the Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
