The Lockdown Sessions is the fifth studio 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.

Overview

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.
