Despite the controversy surrounding his labeled anti-Semitic remarks and his quirky direct support for Russia in the Ukraine war, Roger Waters has embarked on the European portion of his This Is Not A Drill tour.
On Friday (March 17) and Saturday (March 18) he played at the Altice Arena in Lisbon, Portugal, in front of around 20,000 spectators. Waters began the politically tinged, but by no means controversial shows with “Comfortably Numb” and also stuck to the Pink Floyd catalog for a few songs before dedicating himself to his own solo work with the “Radio KAOS” track “The Powers That Be”. .
One of the highlights of the tour is certainly “Wish You Were Here”, which the singer designed as a great reminiscence of his colleague Syd Barrett.
After being labeled “anti-Semitic” and having his concert in Frankfurt canceled, Roger Waters recently said he was ready to take legal action against German city authorities and others who might do the same.
According to the British “Guardian”, the musician has asked his law firm to defend itself against the cancellation of concerts with the help of injunctions against municipalities. This is the case in Munich, where a coalition of parties is trying to prevent a concert by the musician planned for May 21 in the Olympiahalle.
