Recommended.

[mcar]

2. I'm loving the resistance!

[H2O Man]

3. Recommended.

I prefer the word swine. But this is wonderful. Thank you.

[SJMULE]

4. Funny

that it upset some concert goers who apparently (Were too dumb to hear or comprehend his lyrics for decades) didnt realize Waters' politics and aversion to oppressive and authoritarian regimes.

[BigmanPigman]

13. I knew Hillary would lose and one reason was the Coachella show last Oct.

When Roger Waters did The Wall and showed the visuals (like he normally does) a lot of the audience was pissed off to see anti-trump pictures and slogans used images on the wall and flying pig. That upset me since any Floyd fan knows Roger is and always has been very political and progressive as well as anti-Russia.

[Blue Ridge Virginia]

5. can't rec such an insult to fellow mammals

linking them to someone who is clearly reptilian-brained

[Skittles]

6. I just hate the idea that pigs are being compared to Trump

"All dogs look up to you, all cats look down on you....only a pig looks at you like its equal" (Churchhil)

Trump ain't no pig

[yuiyoshida]

7. Skittles

Its the thought that counts

[Skittles]

20. I have long loved me some Roger Waters

he is fantastic

[rzemanfl]

9. Hey Skittles. I am in Wisconsin with my grandchildren and Skittles the giant white cat. n/t

[Skittles]

18. Skittles was my 25 pound bundle of solid black feline fur

he passed on my fifth year DU anniversary

[Doreen]

28. Pigs are cute, adorable, and most of all smart.

Trump is no where near any of those.

[chillfactor]

8. no argument there....

the orange is just a pink swine! What a great way to start a concert!

[mr_lebowski]

10. Guessing they then busted out "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" as the next track ...

BigmanPigman should be pleased

Edit: looked it up this song is around mid-show, followed by Money, with more anti-Trump stuff.

Man I wanna go to this SOOOOO BAD.

[zentrum]

11. WOW. nt

[NastyRiffraff]

12. The first concert I ever saw was Pink Floyd's

I loved them then and I love them even more now. That was brilliant!

[riversedge]

51. good memories

[SHRED]

14. Saw him last year at Desert Trip

Same thing.
Awesome show.

[iluvtennis]

15. Love it, thanks for sharing.

[malaise]

16. K & R

Nice

[Kath2]

17. I agree.

Keep the resistance going. Like this...

[yuiyoshida]

21. love it

[Kath2]

24. I thought you would. My aunt was there somewhere.

Peace!

[Towlie]

19. As we used to say in the 60's, "Don't say that, it insults the animal."

[mwooldri]

22. Earlier news reports were that Trump supporters walked out of this.

Obviously no idea of what Roger Waters/Pink Floyd stands for. It's like me going to a Ted Nugent concert. Except I have more sense and wouldn't pay for a Ted Nugent concert.

[JuJuYoshida]

23. The struggle is.....I like pigs

[Kath2]

25. I'm pro-pig and anti-Trump.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

26. Wonder what Pussy Riot is up to? Are they in prison?

My thought process leapt immediately to the attack on free speech and the First Amendment.

[Marie Marie]

27. Love me some Pink Floyd and Roger Waters

Comfortably Numb is what I strive for daily under this Fascist Pig.

[SergeStorms]

29. Love Roger Waters.

He doesn't pull any political punches.

[pangaia]

30. Hope you have recovered from the weekend.

[Beartracks]

34. "What did you say?"

Someone has to defend pig-kind against such comparisons!

=======================

[mr_lebowski]

35. In case you're wondering how it went over ... IT ROCKED F***ING ASS & got YUUUGE Applause

SO KICK ASS

[TalenaGor]

[TalenaGor]

37. woot! I'm going to Seattle show!!!

[Motley13]

39. deplorable, pigs don't deserve that

they are way smarter than dolt 45

[Moostache]

43. Amen...won't somebody PLEASE think of the PIGS!?!?!?! (n/t)

[Roy Rolling]

40. Cheap laughs

Ad hominem attacks are funny, but low-class. As much as I would agree (with apologies too pigs) I don't see the entertament value. Just making the words big and lit up is a cheap gimmick, I expect more from Pink Floyd. But I totally agree with his passion for wanting to help us in America, and support my progressive friends who think differently.

That's what sets us apart from Republicans.

[BigmanPigman]

49. I've been to many Floyd and Roger Waters shows and the visuals are intertwined with the music.

Roger intentionally changes the images to be current and represent various relevant topics. The shows aren't like regular concerts. It's more like theater.

[alterfurz]

41. and for those playing along at home...

[IronLionZion]

42. Trump is a big steamy dump that clogs up the pipes

and pigs should not be insulted like this.

People have correctly said that pigs are intelligent, cute, clean, delicious etc. and treat us like equals.

Pigs are also among the few animals we eat regularly who would also eat us if they had to. People have been eaten by pigs by accidentally falling into the pens and passing out unconscious, or by criminals deliberately feeding their enemies to hungry pigs while still alive.

44. Waters was highlighting

From the Pink Floyd, Animals album
(and the first thing that came to my mind when I saw
t-trump gliding down the escalator was "You radiate cold shafts of broken glass .&quot

"Pigs (Three Different Ones)"

Big man, pig man, ha ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
1You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying "keep on digging"
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find?
When you're down in the pig mine
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.
Bus stop rat bag, ha ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag, ha ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hat pin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.
Hey you Whitehouse, ha ha, charade you are
You house proud town mouse, ha ha, charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
.....!.....!.....!.....!
You gotta stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary you're nearly a treat
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry.

[LiberalLovinLug]

47. I thought of this album, Animals, when Trump was elected

One of my favorite.
He was a Dog, and has moved up to a Pig.

And of course he couldn't do it without the Sheep:

Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem

[Verse 2]
What do you get for pretending the danger's not real
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream

[Interlude]
(stone, stone, stone...)
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives He releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water

[Verse 3]
Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream
Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home
And do as you're told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old

[mr_lebowski]

54. Not exactly subtle, but much less heavy-handed than his newer stuff (amused to death ... yuck!)

I wish he'd write stuff like this again instead of ... what he now writes. It's just so painfully on-the-nose I can't even listen to most of it ... Radio KAOS in like 1987 was his last listenable album for me (saw that tour, too, it was damn good ... but I prefer the Gilmour-led Floyd shows of that era).

This is coming from someone who actually loves the last Pink Floyd (Waters-Solo, except in name) album 'The Final Cut'. Regrettably the last really excellent thing the dude ever put out, save a few songs on Pros and Cons (every strangers eyes is class), and K.A.O.S. is about 1/2 good, and Amused to Death has exactly 1 song out of like 72 minutes I can stand.

Still, I really wanna go to this show, who knows how much longer he'll be able to do it ...

BTW, teh setlist of this show also includes the full blown 16+ minutes of "Dogs" as well ... which I don't think Floyd, Gilmour, or Waters has done live (if so it was only 1 of their many tours, pretty sure) since the 1970's. My favorite track on Animals, easily. I watched a vid of that too and the guitarist does a pretty damn credible Gilmour imitation, esp. guitar-wise.

I so wish they'd put their differences aside and do one more tour together so we could hear all these songs done LIVE, and RIGHT ... one last time.

[niyad]

45. that is an insult to our porcine brethren and sistren.
