4 stars This show has been released in cinema a long time ago and it took many months to hit the record store on physical media. The disk case is not bigger than a post-card. After the release of ''The Wall Live'' concert we knew that the production would be similar with giants screens in the back and even in the middle of the venue. The setlist covers mostly ''Dark Side of the Moon'' which has been played a lot by many tribute bands in the last 20 years, but this time Roger added some songs from ''Animals'' which is a welcome addition. Also, he played 3 songs from his latest solo album, but I guess that most people were there for the Pink Floyd songs. The sound clarity and the picture are excellent, but I didn't enjoy how they use the light show with mostly red and white spots. There is a good use of the sound of explosions for special effects with projections on the screens.

Roger Waters signing and playing is still lively and we can see him signing outside his microphone. The signing from other musicians is struggling at times. But when the music is so good, you can tolerate some flaws in the vocal department. Roger Waters didn't speak between songs and kept his political message for the love of humanity at the end. This concert was recorded in surround which adds some value to the overall experience.
