=== 2006β2009: The Dark Side of the Moon Live === In June 2006, Waters began the two-year [[The Dark Side of the Moon Live|Dark Side of the Moon Live]] world tour. The first half of the show featured both Pink Floyd songs and Waters's solo material; the second included a complete performance of ''The Dark Side of the Moon'', the first time in more than three decades that Waters had performed it. The shows ended with an encore from the third side of ''The Wall''. The elaborate staging, by the concert lighting designer Marc Brickman, included laser lights, fog machines, pyrotechnics, psychedelic projections, and inflatable floating puppets (Spaceman and Pig) controlled by a "handler" dressed as a butcher, and a full 360-degree [[quadraphonic sound]] system. Mason joined Waters for the ''Dark Side of the Moon'' set and the encores on some 2006 performances.{{sfn|Povey|2008|pp=319, 334β338}} In March 2007, the Waters song "[[Hello (I Love You)]]" featured in the science fiction film ''[[The Last Mimzy]]''. Waters released it as a single, on CD and via download, and described it as "a song that captures the themes of the movie, the clash between humanity's best and worst instincts, and how a child's innocence can win the day".<ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/reminder-pink-floyd-rock-icon-roger-waters-records-hello-i-love-you-original-song-new-712330.htm |title= Reminder β Pink Floyd Rock Icon Roger Waters Records "Hello (I Love You)", an Original Song for New Line Cinema's "The Last Mimzy" |publisher= [[Marketwire]] |date= January 2007 |access-date= 29 June 2015 |archive-date= 4 March 2016 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160304052921/http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/reminder-pink-floyd-rock-icon-roger-waters-records-hello-i-love-you-original-song-new-712330.htm |url-status= live }}</ref> He performed at California's [[Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival|Coachella Festival]] in April 2008 and was to be among the headlining artists at [[Live Earth India 2008#Live Earth India 2008|Live Earth 2008]] in Mumbai, India, in December 2008,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/roger-waters/41209|title=Pink Floyd's Roger Waters to join Bon Jovi at Live Earth India|work=[[NME]]|date=21 November 2008|access-date=2 October 2010|archive-date=6 October 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101006004623/http://www.nme.com/news/roger-waters/41209|url-status=live}}</ref> but the concert was cancelled following the [[2008 Mumbai attacks|26 November terrorist attacks]] in Mumbai.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2008/dec/01/live-earth-india-cancelled|title=Live Earth India cancelled after Mumbai attacks|first=Sean|last=Michaels|date=1 December 2008|work=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=18 October 2010|location=London|archive-date=8 March 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210308232829/https://www.theguardian.com/music/2008/dec/01/live-earth-india-cancelled|url-status=live}}</ref> In April 2008, Waters discussed a possible new album with the tentative name ''Heartland''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.rockymountainnews.com/rocky_mountain_music/2008/04/read_the_complete_roger_waters.html|title=Read the complete Roger Waters interview|first=Mark|last=Brown|work=Rocky Mountain News|date=25 April 2008|access-date=17 October 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100429170452/http://blogs.rockymountainnews.com/rocky_mountain_music/2008/04/read_the_complete_roger_waters.html|archive-date=29 April 2010}}</ref>
