Desert Trip came to a close on Sunday night with performances from The Who and Roger Waters. Both artists rolled out the same setlists as Weekend One and Waters, as he always does, brought out a slew of effects, lasers, and a giant inflatable pig.
The most talked about song during Waters’ set was “Pigs (Three Different Ones)” which featured images and quotes of Donald Trump on the screen while a giant inflatable pig cruised around the festival grounds with “Together we stand, divided we fall” on one side. The other side had the face of Donald Trump and the words “ignorant,” “lying,” “racist,” “sexist” and “Fuck Trump and his wall.”

“Speak to Me”
“Breathe”
“Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun”

Prior to Waters, The Who opened the show – and closed out their fiftieth anniversary tour – with a more upbeat set, though Pete Townsend may have recognized the crowd was a bit tired beginning the final day.
“Are you fucking tired or something?” Townshend said early in the set. “Strange, we’re not.”

“The Seeker”
“Who Are You”
“The Kids Are Alright”
