Telling the story of this show is telling what happens in Brazil today. The best and worst of Brazil can be seen there. With all respect to Pink Floyd fans, but within a given context the show itself was a secondary act. As perhaps some of you may know, Brazil has been living in a sui generis situation since a leftist government was elected in 2002 and "things" started to happen. For the first time, a government really cared about the poor. Misery declined, infant mortality rates declined, income distribution became less unfair, the economy improved, foreign exchange reserves hit record highs, the unemployment rate dropped to around 4%, and people's happiness became visible to the eyes . Then, little by little, the Brazilian elite, the press, the so-called "opinion formers," the Brazilian middle class who should be the worst middle class in the world, and everyone else who prospered with the misery and ignorance of the people began a process of which, no, all this is an illusion. There is no improvement in social indices, unemployment is an illusion or, at best, a temporary situation, the economy is only good because of the Commodities and this government that is said there defender of the poor, in reality is the enemy of the poor. And, as some of you may know, the situation has gradually degenerated, degenerated and degenerated to the point of imposing an impeachment on a president by a trivial act and without any consequence and that "all" previous presidents practiced, condemnation and an ex-president who left with 80% approval of his government, literally without any proof in an absolutely customized process for him to find himself in this situation and, finally, as the high point of the indignity of all this tragedy, we are in the imminence of we elect a neo-facist, an abject, disqualified and unprepared figure who makes Trump a scout boy in terms of disqualification. All this under the complacency and collaboration of the last institution that must be degraded: justice.
For the apolitics, it was a musical show.
For the indoctrinated and converted, an undue intrusion of someone - Roger Waters - who "does not know" the Brazilian reality. Believe me, some of these have resorted to consumer protection agency to ask for your money back.
And for those who understand the dangerous and extreme chaotic situation we are facing, that was History.
This is the show that will be marked, I think, for the first time, Roger Waters was booed by about 20 of the 35 thousand people I think were there. For me, what did not seem possible happened: Roger got out of there bigger than he already was. Thank you, Roger!
A warning: at the beginning of the show many "senta" (sit) and other impromptu can be heard. Unfortunately I was in a place where several idiots decided to stand and stand in front of who was sitting. Therefore, many cries will be heard until Breath. I am sorry.

Aos brasileiros que discordam de meu posicionamento, um alerta: isso é a minha publicação e a minha opinião. Sua presença aqui é desnecessária. Não debaterei com ninguém neste espaço. Há vários outros espaços recheados de incautos como vocês. Recorram a eles.
