The Wall is last still strong Pink Floyd album, and live version of The Wall ( what is this double album) is very similar to it's studio version.

If in case with studio album, I enjoyed with some great songs, but all album was too bulk and too long for me ( I believe that one LP work with concentrated and reworked The Wall material could be a really great album!). In live version this minus is not so obvious: as in all live recordings, there is enough place for longer solos,improvs and you usualy prepared for longer recording.

Another strong side - many songs sound heavier and with higher energy, than in studio album. In case with The Wall it is a positive change IMO. All the album ( as often happens when you're comparing studio and live recordings) sounds more rock. A bit more acoustic, with slightly simplier arrangements, sometimes a bit faster.

Still very close to studio original, this live album is as strong and contains even some attractive sides. But I can recommend it to band's fans: for regular listeners it's too similar too studio The Wall album.
