This Tuesday (24), Roger Waters delivered two very clear messages before starting his show at the Mané Garrincha Stadium in Brasília. The onscreen warning read: “Out of consideration for other spectators, please turn off your cell phones.” Soon after, the second warning: “If you’re one of those people who says, ‘I love Pink Floyd, but I’m with Rogers If you don’t agree with politics,’ you can leave now and go to the bar.” This performance in the Brazilian capital tour marks the debut of the “This is Not a Drill” tour in the country, marking Waters’ farewell to the stage in Brazil represents.
