The Dark Side of the Moon Live was a worldwide concert tour by Roger Waters, lasting two years. Waters and his band performed the titular album in its entirety at each show, beginning at the Rock in Rio festival on 2 June 2006.
The tour featured elaborate stage design by Mark Fisher, who in the past designed the stage for Pink Floyd's The Wall Tour, including giant puppets, large video screen displays and a 360° quadraphonic sound system. The performances were divided into two sets: the first being a collection of Pink Floyd material along with songs from Roger's solo career, and the second The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety, plus encores.
Pink Floyd's iconic pig was used extensively during the tour, introduced on 6 September 2006, the opening night of the North American leg, and since appearing at almost every venue. During the tour, the pig often carried messages critical of the American government, Waters' socialist views, and the support of repressed Latin American populations, including indictments of discrimination and calls for the further prosecution of former dictators.
