This year, Waters and fellow performer Stewart D'Arrietta are taking the show, Looking Through A Glass Onion, around regional Australia. They will perform in Werribee next month. Waters says the tour is a chance to let fans view the show, first performed in 1992, in its original format.

The show is a homage to the music and life of John Lennon, making it part concert, part biography. "We had people hanging from the rafters by the end of three weeks. It was great fun," Waters says of the show's genesis at Sydney's Tilbury Hotel.

The show will return to those early days, with the stage stripped back to allow Waters and D'Arrietta to deliver a more personal performance.

Waters believes the change will force people to listen to the songs and think about what Lennon meant when he wrote them.

He says he wrote the show around Lennon's music after being inspired by the way the Beatle great used his songs to explore his thoughts and feelings.

Waters says he's not surprised by the continuing popularity of the show, believing people of all ages can relate to Lennon's music.

"We are seeing more young people coming to the show. The first audiences were people who had memories of this time.

"I love it when the 16-year old comes in with the iconic John Lennon T-shirt. It is an indication of how unique the songwriting is."

Looking Through A Glass Onion is at Wyndham Cultural Centre on February 17. Bookings: 97419500.
