    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.

    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.

    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.

    There's admirable sonic purity to these live recordings, but that only underscores the astonishing lack of verve in the performances.

And the "comfortably numb" played just as Gilmour did in the past.… Expand

    Un freaking believable DVD! I watched it on my Sony projection TV in digital Dolby surround. It is with out a doubt not only the best music Un freaking believable DVD! I watched it on my Sony projection TV in digital Dolby surround. It is with out a doubt not only the best music DVD i ever bought but also the best period. It has all the greats hits. I saw roger Waters live in concert in Montreal, and let em tell you it was like being there all over again pumped up in 5.1 surround... i paid $26.95 Cnd for it ... i have watched it 4 times so far, all 170 mins of it... it is a must for any classic rock or Pink Floyd fan! Tip: have aa few drinks before you watch it and turn off the lights and turnup the volume! ENJOY! Rob..… Expand

    Brilliant. Old Floyd, new Waters, everything is just spot on - better than Pulse, without a doubt.

    A sad imitation of what Pink Floyd used to be. Without Gilmor, instead if that Elvis impersonator, playing lead with some feeling, everything A sad imitation of what Pink Floyd used to be.
