Roger Waters was the main lyricist and composer for the classic British rock band Pink Floyd. He, along with Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright, formed the band in 1965 and released their first album, “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn” in 1967. In 1968, Syd Barrett was replaced by guitarist/singer David Gilmour. He and Gilmour were the driving force behind the albums “Meddle,” “Dark Side of the Moon,” and “Wish You Were Here”; Waters eventually became the primary songwriter, being the driving force behind “Animals”, and “The Wall”. Waters became well-known for being an intense perfectionist and his controlling nature alienated the rest of the band. “The Final Cut”, released in 1983, was essentially a Roger Waters solo album “performed by Pink Floyd” as the credits stated. This would be the group’s last album together. David Gilmour decided to carry on with Pink Floyd, without Waters. Waters, believing that Pink Floyd was a “non-entity” without him, sued the rest of the band to retire the Pink Floyd name. His lawsuit ultimately failed, and Pink Floyd released two more studio albums (each followed by a double live album) without him. Waters has so far released the following solo albums:
* “Music From The Body” soundtrack with Ron Geesin(1970)
* “The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking” (1984)
* “When the Wind Blows” soundtrack with contributions from other artists as well (1986)
* “Radio K.A.O.S.” (1987)
* “The Wall: Live in Berlin” (1990)
* “Amused to Death” (1992)
* “In the Flesh” live (2000)
* “Flickering Flame: The Solo Years, Vol. 1” (2003)

Does anybody know which Waters song this is, "An Old man and a big dog caught my eye, I stop to watch them for a while." He's seen singing it in, "In the Flesh Live" dvd, but I can't find the song.

Waters is one of my heroes. You can say a lot about him, but he followed his vision and made some of the best music of all time in the process.
