Favorite gig of all of Desert Trip? Easily Roger Waters. When you say “Go big or go home”, Roger Waters must take that very seriously… from the amazing visuals, production, and the surround sound, there’s no detail left behind in what turns out to be almost three epic hours of music and performance.

Once again, just as the previous two other days, I got in early with my crew and we camped out at a rail spot on the GA Standing Room only rail and, though it was hot, and we were tired, thirsty and hungry, we hung in there for Roger and were not disappointed. As luck would have it, our spot was also the same spot that the giant fucking pig decided to come flying by past (multiple times), so that was a treat in and of itself (not sure how all the older richer conservative crowd in the expensive seats ahead of us felt about the whole thing, but it was pretty powerful for us). And then to end the main set with a gigantic laser prism with rainbow lights/laser shooting across the field from the stage… just one word to describe it, WOW. I was literally left speechless after this performance. Definitely was 100x better than when I saw him perform in the same venue back in 2008 at Coachella (while he was on the “Dark Side of the Moon” tour – and there I actually watched a live version of “Dark Side of Oz” while he played). Perfect ending, to a pretty perfect festival. Now crank this up and relive it (or experience it for the first time + more).

I included the “intro” portion of this, and there is a small amount of talking between me and some neighbors while we were waiting for Roger and the band to come out. Don’t like it? Skip over it…
