Preparing for his tour last year, Roger Waters reviewed his entire repertoire, from Pink Floyd’s 1967 debut, “The Piper at the Gates of Down,” through his solo album, 1992’s “Amused to Death.” “It was fascinating,” Waters says on the phone from Barbados. “I thought there were some good songs from the early days. There were some awkward moments as well.” It also brought about a change of heart regarding song selection for the upcoming tour. “It prompted a loosening of my sort of vigilance around ownership,” Waters says. “When I’d gone out and done tours on my own I’d always been at great pains to do song where mine was the solo writing credit,” Waters explains. “There was great stuff on which other people have credit,” Waters says. “That shouldn’t prohibit me from performing things such as ‘Dogs’ form ‘Animals’ and 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond.’” Although Waters’ Pink Floyd mates - guitarist Dave Gilmour, keyboardist Rick Wright and drummer Nick Mason - had credits on some songs, Waters was the primary writer after the departure of Syd Barrett following “Piper.” “I think people in bands never develop at the same pace or in the same way or the same direction,” Waters says. “You discover whether the people are writers or not. I was the only writer after Syd left.” By the time of 1979’s “The Wall,” the writing credits were almost entirely Waters’. “There was never an attempt to stop anyone from writing,” Waters says. “It’s not like there was a ton of material there and I’m saying, 'No, you can’t do it, we’re only using mine.’ Nobody was writing.” The elaborate live presentation of “The Wall” meant that Floyd performed it only a few times. “Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall Live,” release in April, is a recording taken from the London’s Earl’s Court shows in 1980 and 1981. “It was an exciting and ambitious project,” Waters says of “The Wall” concerts. “I was working with a great group of people. We pulled off an amazing piece of rock 'n’ roll theater.” The tensions surrounding the making of “The Wall” sounded the death knell for Pink Floyd. There was only one more album from the band, “The Final Cut,” in 1983, before Waters left for a solo career which commenced with the next year’s “The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking.” Gilmour and Mason resurrected the Pink Floyd name in 1987, adding to the acrimony between Waters and his former band mates. If the differences haven’t been set-
