Waters, who postponed a visit to Lawrence during last year’s COVID-19 surge, shared his unique perspective on subjects including the pandemic, his career, movies, fashion and crime.

The evening ended with Waters returning to the stage for a “therapy session” with several dozen of his fans.

Free State Festival events continue Friday and Saturday. See the full schedule at this link.
