Roger Waters 17.4.2018 Mailand Mediolanum Forum
Bericht und Fotos von Alberto Durgante
Great first of 2 shows of Roger Waters at the Mediolanum Forum in Milano. The new US+THEM gig is really a gorgeous spectacle, perfect for ears, eyes and hearts! No changes in the setlist!
The second half, starting with a stunning 20 minutes of Dogs is absolutely powerful. Only few words from Roger to the audience, at the end of the show when Waters talks about the “fucking” attack Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron and Theresa May in Syria, adding that “fortunately not one Russian was killed, otherwise we would all be in shit”. Finally, he also thanks the Italians for “regularly saving refugees in the Mediterranean”.
Tonight second show in Milano, then from Saturday other 4 Italian shows in Bologna Unipol Arena.
