4 stars This is definitely an excellent live set or...if you are Genesis' fan, this is Pink Floyd's Seconds Out album. Ofcourse the major difference is that while Seconds Out played tunes from different albums, while this Is There Anybody Out There? is basically the live performance of their groundbreaking concept double album the Wall. Actually, you another choice about this live set, ie. those performed by Roger Waters. Bu of course I'd rather have this one because i's performed by four original members of the band: Waters, Gilmour, Wright and Mason. In most cases, I'd like to play this live set compared to the studio version due to two reasons: 1. There is a track, a great one, which was omitted in the studio version called What Shall We Do Now due to vinyl limitation to accommodate this short track. 2. I love live show than studio recording even though the sound quality is not as good as the studio version.

I don't think I need to elaborate on track by track basis but I just need to emphasize that these consecutive three tracks Another Brick In The Wall pt 1 (4:12) - The Happiest Days Of Our Lives (1:39) - Another Brick In The Wall pt 2 (6:18) were performed brilliantly with a great ambient. Of course, I also love the other three tracks Empty Spaces (2:14) - What Shall We Do Now? (1:40) - Young Lust (5:16) nerely due to the reason I mentioned at the above. On Disc 2 I also love the ambience and live vibes of Is There Anybody Out There? (3:09) - Nobody Home (3:15) - Vera (1:26). The other three consecutive great tracks are : Waiting For The Worms (4:13) - Stop (0:32) - The Trial (6:00) which they sound like an opera.

On top of the music, the CD package is also great. Mine is with bigger size package complete with full-colour booklet of the show. Overall, this is a highly recommended package. Keep on proggin' ...!

Peace on earth and mercy mild - GW
