Roger Waters Pigs Out At Coachella

By Paul Cashmere
Tue, 29 Apr 2008 11:16:23 +1000

Roger Waters closed Coachella on Sunday night and that trademark Pink Floyd floating pig made an appearance at the show.

The former Pink Floyd creative genius brought that old Simpsons Homerpolloza episode to life when he gave Coachella a taste of his flying pig.

In the Simpsons, Peter Frampton had bought the pig at a Pink Floyd garage sale but Homer accidentally let it fly off into the air. Waters pig was set free in similar style on Sunday night.

The pig was also used as a statement to vote for presidential hopeful Barrack Obama. Barrack's name with a big ticked check box was printed under the pig.

He is also reported to have dropped thousands of miniature Obama flyers during his show.

Waters' pig was released while he played the classic Floyd track 'Pigs', originally from the 1977 album 'Animals'.

He played the complete 'Dark Side of the Moon' album as a part of the show.
