^^ Nice choices, Paul.

The 1990 live in Berlin really is excellent. Shamefully. I’ve still yet to buy that double disc yet. I do want the CD version. :)
Lately. Because things are so damn expensive, I’m quite reserved in CD purchases these days, but no question this live album you brilliantly mentioned is on my list! 😀
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

Thanks! I only have In the Flesh (2000) and The Wall (2010) on DVD, but thanks to YouTube and ProgArchives I can watch all of Roger Waters' concerts right here, including his fabulous 135-minute long Dark Side of the Moon concert tour in 2006-2008, which Eclipses most other concert tours for magnificent extravagance, but has never been released on DVD. Geek

I would much rather Waters had made a CD/Blue Ray release of this concert instead of his Dark Side Redux thing. This one I would have purchased.

I can absolutely understand that.

Main thing is I kind of knew this REDUX would be a real mixed bag of people liking/disliking this album.

At best. We have to look at the REDUX as a mood piece. Sure it is isn’t an album you’ll revisit a lot, but when you do and are in the mood for that Leonard Cohen like, moody narrative vocal delivery you may end up loving it….maybe for just that one day only.

Next time I'm in a melancholy mood - which is not very often - I'll give Dark Side of the Moon Redux another listen, then maybe it'll brighten up my day, but far more likely, it'll leave me feeling just as downhearted and despondent about the world as Roger appears to be. Tongue

Quite possibly the longest feud in prog history, rivalled only by Patrick Moraz's long-running feud (and even longer-running court case) with The Moody Blues. Cool

5 stars 2022: Roger Waters - The Lockdown Sessions - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kHSppQrHjZrehfvgTQBS9nwG9b-dCKqZE

Roger Waters introduces his brand new version of Comfortably Numb from The Lockdown Sessions:-

"Before lockdown I had been working on a demo of a new version of ‘Comfortably Numb’ as an opener to our new show "This Is Not A Drill”. I pitched it a whole step down, in A Minor, to make it darker and arranged it with no solos, except over the outro, where there is a heartrendingly beautiful vocal solo from one of our new sisters Shanay Johnson.It’s intended as a wakeup call, and a bridge towards a kinder future with more talking to strangers, either in "The Bar” or just “Passing in the Street" and less slaughter “In Some Foreign Field.”Here it is. Love R. The video is by Sean Evans. The mix is by Gus Seyffert."

Well you know you’ve got my vote with this one.

An amazing surprise. Really happy to have bought the album.
