Roger's Us + Them tour:
"We are going to take a new show on the road, the content is very
secret," said Roger Waters. "It'll be a mixture of stuff from my long
career, stuff from my years with Pink Floyd, some new things. Probably
75% of it will be old material and 25% will be new, but it will be all
connected by a general theme. It will be a cool show, I promise you.
It'll be spectacular like all my shows have been.”
The announcement notes that "Roger Waters' legendary live performances
are renowned as immersive sensory experiences featuring high class,
state-of-the-art audio visual production and breathtaking quad sound.
This new tour promises to be no exception; following months of
meticulous planning and visionary craft, US + Them will inspire crowds
with its powerful delivery and take the audience on an unforgettable
musical journey."

WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!
Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played!
Hartford, and an emotional show for band and audience. First, an aggressive and powerful Mother was added to the set, following Eclipse, then Roger and the band added their support to a protest against racism, which is quickly gathering momentum (and making Trump very angry).
First, here’s a video from the show from Roger’s official Facebook page…
Roger and band #TakeAKnee, to show solidarity with the protests of NFL players:
Our friend Bradley Kaplan was at the show, and here's his shot of the band "taking a knee" - click the images below to see them in more detail:
