As Roger Waters’ kicks off us Us + Them tour tonight at the Sprint Center in Kasnas City, Missouri, pictures have emerged from the dress rehearsal, which was held in front of 1000 family, friends and competition winners at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday.

Waters is joined for this tour by Lucius singers Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, drummer Joey Waronker, multi-instrumentalist Jon Carin, guitarists Dave “Killer” Kilminster, Jonathan Wilson and Gus Seyffert, plus keyboard player Drew Erickson an saxophonist Ian Ritchie.

The performance is separated into two sets and includes a mixture of tracks from new album Is This The Life We Really Want? - released June 2 - and classic Pink Floyd songs (full set list below).
