How a Concert Should Be Filmed

Hands down this is the best concert DVD ever made. The video quality and the sound quality are just superb. The band is absolutely loaded with talent. From Brmahall III on guitar, to Graham Broad on the drums, and of course the keeper of the Floyd sound John Carin is amazing. Roger choses a fantastic song selection, much better then seen on Pulse. His voice has aged, no doubt, but he still delivers a solid and inspired performance.

All other directors should take note of this DVD. The camera does not jump every two seconds. You get to really take in everything that you are seeing. You really feel like you are in the front of the audience viewing this show live. I recently saw Waters on his current Dark Side of the Moon Tour and this really does capture what the live experience is like.If you are a fan of Floyd you need to get this DVD. It is the type of disc you will play again and again, it just never gets old. Pop it in, crank it up, relax and enjoy. They broke the mold on artists like this, truely one of a kind.

continues to get the job done

Prior to purchasing this DVD, I had been looking for a good live Floyd product since I never saw the band live. I read the reviews on the other Floyd and Gilmore DVD's and decided not to ingore their warnings. This one appeared to have the most favorable feedback. The production does not disappoint. Roger proves that he can continue to deliver without the rest of the boys. His team in this footage pulls it all together. The concert is so good that I play it to listen even if I'm working on something else that doesn't allow me to watch. If anyone comes across another product with Gilmore, Mason, etc... that compares, please let me know as I would like to see it.

It sure felt like a Pink Floyd Show...

...with all the songs that RW has written for the band. It's interesting to contrast this work to Pink Floyd, Live at Pompeii (1970 ish), and Pink Floyd's new Pulse DVD. One song, Comfortably Numb, is so skillfully performed on RW's DVD that you can tell who wrote/sang the different parts back when it was part of The Wall. This DVD is a treasure for the RW and PF lover.

Great Collection Of Floyd, Old And New

Granted, this is not Pink Floyd, but Roger Waters assembled a great group of supporting musicians for this tour. Doyle Bramhall II looks a little out of his element, but he handles some faithful renditions of legendary David Gilmour solos. A definite must for any Floyd fan.

Excellent sound and visually pleasing

"In the Flesh Live" is certainly one of the most well-produced live music DVDs to date. The performances of classic Pink Floyd songs and Roger Waters solo material are given by an exceptionally capable assembly of musicians. Inevitably, there will be comparisons to Gilmour's Pink Floyd (sans Waters) but I am a fan of both. Well, at least I think the Floyd songs as performed by Waters are more organic and true to their original compostion than Gilmour's recent (if 12 years can be called recent) performances of the same music. But Waters' solo material has never engaged me, and as I watched and listened closely to the lyrics of such songs as "Amused to Death", I was more turned off than entertained by his tired, cynical, wordy philosophy and worldview. Each of his songs from his solo career seemed to have the same tone and message of doom and gloom, despite the small and belated hope of Each Small Candle. Waters is a clergyman preaching the very familiar and tired (and debunked)doctrine of humanism and liberalism. This is not to say that the performances are musically pleasing and accomplished, but I prefer the Floyd material over Waters' self-absorbed, self-righteous pronouncements against the human race. True, Roger's Pink Floyd songs are written from the same depressed and angry point of view, but they are ten-times more artfull and not so overbearing as his solo work. As alluded to previously, the sound and video of IN THE FLESH LIVE is terrific, including the direction, editing, and overall production.
