Roger has been an outspoken critic of social injustice issues like police violence, fascism, strident capitalism, war-hungry psychopathic politicians, racism, the suppression of women's rights and transphobia and for the next few songs and for much of the show he made sure none of these stances were ambiguous. Scream-singing fans stirred from their pre-game drunken stupors. Arms were crossed and raised into the air. Guitar solos were ripped by the great Dave Kilminster. Which is exactly what they did when, as "Comfortably Numb" faded away and the screens were pulled up into the air to reveal the entire stage, they tore into a three-phase exploration of The Wall with "The Happiest Days of Our Lives" and "Another Brick in the Wall Parts II and II." Bombastic, full volume, lights and videos blazing, the arena came alive with sound and vision. Start them off at a gentle idle, then pull your foot off the clutch and start to floor it. You half expect a show like this to start with a bang, but by creating a thick aural fog with stunning visual accompaniment, it simmers the crowd down and lets their brains adjust and focus. They forgoed the epic, world famous guitar solo and kept the song in a gorgeous, dense, plodding sonic atmosphere. The night opened with an incredible, new, darker, more subdued arrangement of "Comfortably Numb." At this point the LED screens were still dropped to stage level so the musicians were obscured in quadrants around the stage, silhouetted by a gorgeous post-apocalyptic video of a ruined urban landscape and catatonic shadow people trudging through the landscape. I think that is one element of Roger Waters I love the most he has rabid fans who hate his guts. if you're one of those "I love Pink Floyd, but I can't stand Roger's politics" people, you might do well to fuck off to the bar right now." This was met with rapturous applause and some boos as well it wouldn't be the last time his messages would be met with cheers and jeers at this show. First, it instructed people to please turn off their cell phones. When the lights dimmed, the LED panels that had overtaken the center of the arena on the stage illuminated with text of a public service announcement that was also narrated by Waters. delivered a setlist that covered highlights from his solo career as well his career in Pink Floyd, though it leaned heavily on Dark Side of the Moon in set two and didn't touch any material earlier than that album. With no new album to promote, Rog and Co. George Roger Waters (born 6 September 1943) is an English singer, songwriter, bassist, and composer.Having delayed his highly anticipated in-the-round style This is Not A Drill tour for nearly two years due to covid, Roger Waters finally began his nationwide trek in Pittsburgh on July 7 and landed at Boston's TD Garden on Tuesday night, July 12, for a triumphant, sobering, hits-heavy career survey where the political messages got as much applause as the Pink Floyd classics the people came there to hear.
