Roger Waters Releases Giant Obama Pig, to Close Coachella

Thanks Robin, for the tip! THE GIANT OBAMA PIG

According to Huffington Post & other sources, Roger Waters closed Coachella’s final night with an amazing performance Pink Floyd’s landmark 1973 album “Dark Side of the Moon” with unleashing a giant inflatable pig into the sky.

The humongous inflatable pig emerge onto the stage as Waters played “Pigs” from 1977’s “Animals”; and it was released into the night sky as the end of his first set. There was graffiti scrawled on the pig that said, “Don’t be led to the slaughter” as well as “Obama” with a checked ballot box next to it. There were also pictures of Uncle Sam holding a cleaver.

Reliving the glory, the performance included elaborate pyrotechnics and old video images, all cultivating into a pyramid containing a rainbow prism rising above the stage. Before closing out Coachella, Waters performed for the crowd the Pink Floyd hits “Another Brick in the Wall” and “Comfortably Numb,” which was a full treat to the crowd as the performance concluded with an elaborate fireworks display over the stage.

This is some of the best fidelity (maybe not a cell phone) - DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Coachella crew must clean up the aftermath

Thousands of papers bearing a checkmark next to the name of US presidential candidate Barack Obama were dropped on neighbourhoods surrounding the Coachella Festival during Roger Waters' Sunday-night set (April 27).

As a result, Coachella promoter Goldenvoice has had to send staff to help clean up the papers covering the Indio, California neighbourhoods after police received calls from area residents complaining about the mess.

An Indio police spokesperson said that the material was distributed without permission from the city or Goldenvoice, and that the concert promoters have been very cooperative in lending a hand to clean up the area.

Coachella spokespeople could not yet confirm whether the Waters camp was responsible for the messages, however it seems very likely as the former Pink Floyd man flew a giant inflatable pig during his set with the same Obama message painted on its underside.
