I went to his Us / Them tour back in 2017 and it was awesome. Very entertaining show.

It's Roger Waters. I'm sure it's a fantastic show. I saw him twice when he toured The Wall and it was absolutely brilliant.

While Roger's voice isn't holding up really well, he was always more of a vocal stylist anyway. The band he's assembled is fantastic (always has been, but the lineup he's had for over the last 5 - 6 years is really a supergroup, as was the last one.)

Great songs and great performance "in the round", filled with an Englishman spewing hate towards the American government and promoting social justice. Lots of imagery of police brutality, Roe v. Wade, anti-Trump , etc... If you can accept Waters' soapbox for what it is, should be a great show.

To be fair, he hates British government, too. Roger has been one of those "zillionaire" Marxists since way back.

I saw his wall tour in '11 and us and them in '19 Ibelieve it was. Going to his show in Atlanta next month.

The us and them tour had a ton of anti-trump images not surprisgly, but i she still doing trump stuff now? Talk about not being able to let go

Saw the show last night in Nashville and it was pretty good. Most people here would not enjoy it. There was a shot at Biden too that could make some happy.

Worth it just to see brain damage and eclipse.

It's not really a good version of it either. I thought about it and realized that's kind of a signature for Gilmore, so I wonder if he's just wanting to play it and be done with it early.

His theatrics is good but his voice is shite now and be prepared to be preached to constantly by a guy that hates capitalism and charges $400 to see his show.


Im one of the biggest Floyd fans out there and I despise his constant BS.

I saw him in 2017 too. He never ranted, but his images/balloons, etc. reflected his views. Great concert.

One of the guitarists sang a lot of the older stuff in the 2nd half of the show.
