Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ


My first concert in a while. Last was Sia. 

Roger has a message for his audience

that comes with the music. Somewhat off-putting

I must say. I went for music not politics. Not saying

I totally disagree with his. F-bombs galore. All our presidents

past and current are mass murderers. Could be a bit strong.

He is 79 and British.  Has some fun stories. I can live without

the other messages though. Is this messaging common nowadays?

Saw the show in Altanta and I loved it. It was so well put together; the stage, the sound, video & FX.  To me it was like a music documentary performed live to picture, which is a keen idea. I may not agree with all of Waters’ opinions, but it doesn’t matter a bit to me that he has them, or that he wants to express them artistically. That kind of stuff never bothered me.

 

I also found Roger, in his banter with the audience at times during during the show, to be congenial and warm. Meanwhile, I saw Porcupine Tree a month later, and while that band is immeasurably rehearsed and tight, Steven Wilson just came off as an insecure, condescending, pretentious douche. 
 

No matter. I got what I wanted out of both shows. Life is about taking the bad with the good.
