For some fans who went to see Roger Waters perform for his first time in New Orleans in nearly five decades Saturday (July 8), the opportunity to see the former Pink Floyd band-member came with a little political disappointment. As both WBRZ and The Advocate reported, Waters wasn't shy about sharing his distaste of President Donald Trump.
The Advocate reported that, during "Pigs (Three Different Ones)," Waters' onstage display showed various "profane images" of Trump, including one image of him "as a baby, being held aloft by Russian president Vladimir Putin." At the song's finale, the display featured the phrase, "Trump is a pig."
Despite Waters never having been particularly coy about his own political leanings, the anti-Trump slant of the show was apparently a little much for some audience members. WBRZ reported that some ticket-buyers left the show.
