Things got political at Desert Trip’s third day.
Roger Waters closed out the festival with his trademark pig flying through the crowd during his song “Pigs” – but, this time the pig featured a map of the US and the words “Together we stand, divided we fall.” On the other side was the face of Donald Trump and the words “ignorant,” “lying,” “racist,” “sexist” and “Fuck Trump and his wall.”
Waters started with “Speak to Me” and “Breath” from Dark Side of the Moon.
The set included plenty of Floyd classics, including “Mother”
He closed things out with “Comfortably Numb”.
