Roger Waters, one of the biggest musical icons of the last century, the author of timeless albums such as Dark side of the moon or The Wall, spent the last days of last week in Prague. He held two straight concerts here, where he performed the best of his work and an incredible performance, full of everything you expect from Pink Floyd, in front of a sold-out O2 arena. Of course, I couldn't miss this event, and as it turned out later, it was not only an unforgettable experience, but also quite an interesting topic for an article. First, he let the children sing his probably best-known composition Another Brick In The Wall, then he built a factory right in the middle of the hall, above which he let a symbolic pig fly and projected the evil of humanity on its wall, and finally he created a symbolic pyramid from lasers.

Just then, a factory appeared in the middle of the hall and the song Pigs (Three Different Ones), inscriptions and drawings also appeared, which clearly refer to Apple. The song itself is about a trio of people that Waters refers to as pigs. In three stanzas, he gradually addresses all those who, according to him, make up the top of society, but also its bottom, especially the moral one. Although these people are successful, they often lack moral values, according to him. Waters considers businessmen who hide only for money and manipulate people to be ridiculous. The first part of the text is dedicated to them, in which he does not talk about anyone in particular, but simply addresses all similar personalities and companies. The second and third parts are then dedicated to Margaret Thatcher and Mary Whitehouse.

Roger Waters complements this song with visualizations that are intrinsically associated with him, and while on his The Wall Live tour he chose companies such as Shell for the visualizations for this song, this time he focused on Apple. This is clearly depicted by the following creations, which all spectators of the Saturday and Friday concerts had the opportunity to see. The visualizations show slogans preceded by the letter "i" symbolizing the products Applu and personalities and creators who have iconic white headphones connected directly to their heads.
