Roger Waters Solo Tours
- During a concert in Summerfest 2006, the pig had a message printed on it reading "Impeach Bush"
- During Waters' performance at the 2008 Coachella Festival, one of the giant inflatable pigs being used as a prop became untethered and floated away into the California desert. Organizers of the festival have offered a $10,000 reward plus free lifetime tickets to the festival in return for the pig's recovery. The pig was found three days later at a nearby country club.
- Likewise, during the concert in Dallas, TX on 2 May 2008, and Houston, TX on 4 May, the pig floated away.
- In a concert in Argentina on 2007, a pig flew and ended up on the Río de la Plata.
- At Argentina tour dates in 2007, the pig had the "Nunca Más" (Never again) inscription on its chest, referring to the famous slogan with which the Argentine people referred to the Dictatorship when 30.000 people "disappeared" and were killed in the 1970s.

Famous quotes containing the words roger, waters and/or solo:
“I say that Roger Casement
Did what he had to do,
He died upon the gallows
But that is nothing new.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“You could not step twice into the same rivers; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.”
—Heraclitus (c. 535–c. 475 B.C.)
“All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
