Roger Waters
Mercedes-Benz-Arena
Berlin, Germany
June 2nd 2018

I was lucky enough to see two shows during Roger's Us and Them tour.
This was the first one.

































































I remember a bunch of people outside the venue
representing the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.
They actually played live music and looked like a throw-back
to something you might have seen at the Isle of Wight festival in 1970.
Their banner said:
We support BDS
Roger supports BDS
How about you?
There was a community of semi-feral kids living under a nearby bridge.
Tents and bicycles. Looked almost post-apocalyptic
as they tried to hustle money from the passing gig-goers.
The concert was fantastic of course with Rog pulling no punches
in his never ending crusade to fight whatever he sees as injustice.
Even the confetti came with a message:

















and here's AtticRock's ticket/confetti from the show in Lisboa:




















This is an audience recording and it is brilliant.
