Inflatable pigs on Roger Waters' tours


A giant inflatable pig has been one of the staple props of Pink Floyd live performances since 1977 when the album Animals was released. After Roger Waters departed Pink Floyd in 1985, he continued to use the pig as a show element during his solo live performances.

Roger Waters used inflatable pigs at many shows on his 2006–2007 tour The Dark Side of the Moon Live, specifically, when he performed the song "Sheep", concluding the first part of the show. The pigs used on tour were decorated with slogans and pieces of song lyrics, and with various drawings. During select performances at open-air venues the pig was released to "fly" away, a reference to the idiom "Pigs might fly".

The pig was released again at the Shoreline Amphitheatre show in Mountain View the following week, on 10 October.

7 July 2007: Roger Waters played in the New York leg of Live Earth. When he began singing "The Happiest Days of Our Lives" / "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2" the pig came out again. It had a more cartoonish look, and part of its body appeared as that of the wall. It had the words "Together we stand, divided we fall" (the last lines of "Hey You") on one side and "SOS" on the other. Unlike the SOS logo for Live Earth (which stood for "Save Our Selves"), the one on the pig said "Save Our Sausages" instead.

Inflatable pigs were special decorations which have been used by Roger Waters in his concert when the singer took part in Desert Trip show on Sunday, October, 9 2016. They were decorated by images and phrases.
