Roger Waters - Pigs (Three Different Ones)
DO NOT MISS! It's the best part of the concert (& from my fave album Animals). It's dedicated to Trump & the flying pig passes overhead

Roger Waters - Pigs (Three Different Ones) x2
Requires watching twice to absorb everything. A wall was erected to split the fans apart & make a political point. See the full arena angle

Roger Waters - Speech to audience
The 2nd show brought tears to Waters' eyes & made him consider moving to Canada. Just listen to how much Toronto loves him & the legend of Pink Floyd

Roger Waters - Smell The Roses
This is a newer song from his solo career. If you haven't heard it, you should. And darn the radio for silencing free speech. Noteworthy political lyrics

16/19 #PinkFloyd #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli
Roger Waters - Picture That (explicit)
Another new song from his solo career that radio won't play, but this time due to profanity. It utterly skewers Trump regarding several topics
