  1. Positive: 1 out of 4

  1. As the man who wrote Pink Floyd's lyrics, he is far more concerned with their meaning than his old bandmates, and you can hear that in his singing, which is emphasized without robbing the music of its magisterial power. In fact, with a band boasting several guitarists - primarily Doyle Bramhall II, Andy Fairweather Low, and Snowy White - to make up for the lack of Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, Waters effectively recreates the sound of his Pink Floyd work.
  2. Bereft of the spectacle that is Pink Floyd these days, it's hard to work up much enthusiasm for still another round of new versions of old classics.
  3. A couple of hours negotiating the treacherous whirlpools of Waters's fears, paranoia and loathing can still prove a slog, mind, no matter how stately the settings.

    Pink Floyd personified. Musical theater. Waters doing what Waters does best....setting the stage for a group of professionals to do their best with some of the best pop material ever written under Water's direction. Simply amazing arrangements. Yes, I have 'Pulse'. This is better. Expand

    An awesome DVD from the consumate showman Roger Waters. The musicians are top shelf and the whole band is awesome together. Waters shows his passion is still 100% there. Expand

    A sad imitation of what Pink Floyd used to be. Without Gilmor, instead if that Elvis impersonator, playing lead with some feeling, everything came across as a look at an artist going down the tubes with age.....a real shame. Expand
