Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters performs at Bridgestone Area, as photographed on Aug. But after seeing nosebleed tickets for no more than 30 dollars, I caved, and I’m so happy I did. Even though I agree with most of his hot takes, I wanted to listen to Pink Floyd live, not sit through a rant about everything that is wrong with the world. Weighing in on every debate within the current political climate, from the war in Ukraine to the Supreme Court’s recent controversial rulings, Waters is renowned for infusing his political stance into his setlists. (Hustler Multimedia/Miguel Beristain) ( Miguel Beristain)Īs a massive Pink Floyd fan who had already been to a Nashville Floyd event (and whose first purchase for his Highland room decor was a Pink Floyd poster), I was surprisingly conflicted about buying a ticket for Waters’ “This Is Not a Drill” tour due to his infamous way of politicizing his shows. The show was the embodiment of the phrase “you had to see it to believe it,” but I will try my best to capture what might have been my weirdest and most wonderful concert experience. Have you ever been to a rock concert that was also a political rally? A movie screening that was also a drone show? A nostalgic tribute to a dear friend that was also a protest against every injustice you could think of? Well if you haven’t and any of those events appeal to you, you should have been at former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters’ performance at Bridgestone Arena on Aug.
