1 stars O.K., ...mmmhhm...ehem....."The Wall" is an ecxellent album , but ...this live version of Roger , his band and his ZOO of guests is really DEPRESSING!!! Some of the songs are well played, but when I listen to some others, I feel I will THROW-UP! First , it comes "In the flesh?".At first, it's well-played, but when it starts singing,(when I first heard it) I realized they were the SCORPIONS!!(uuuuaaaahhh????)and Roger wasn't playing on it! From this moment on the song was ******* off! Ute Lemper sings Gimour's part on "The thin ice".It sucks!!! ."Another brick in the wall pt.1" is Ok.By this point, I thought things were getting better,but I was wrong, they were about to get WORSE!"Happiest days of our lives is OK but it's got this INDIAN-TRIBE-like chorus, that I don't like very much, and then, by "But in the town it was well-known..." It seems Waters can't reach some high notes.By "Another brick...2", the album starts declining, with a headache vocal performance by CINDY LAUPER(uuuuuaaaaaahhh????).Mother is sung by Sinead O'Connor and THE BAND, it sucks!!!! Why didn't Roger sing his part, and stopped messing around with more guest vocalists????? Joni Mitchell's performance on "Good bye blue sky" Sucks!!!!."Empty Spaces/What shall we do now?" is OK and Brian Adams' performance is OK as well as in "Young Lust".The rest of disc 1 is OK, but not as good as the original Floyd versions.Disc2:"Hey you" with Paul Carrack(Uaaaaaahhhh????X2) sucks!!(again) the next few tracks are Ok(No more, no less).Comfortably numb with Van Morrison and THE BAND really gives a headache, and is a real disapoitment for PINK FLOYD fans!They skipped "Show Must Go on", it's a good thing, 'cause if they had done it they would have ruined it!!! "In The Flesh" is Ok but it's got this military band (uuuuaaahhh?)Run like hell can be the best of the whole show(uuuuaaahhh?)(Floyd fans can't say the same(they'd be dissapinted)).Waiting for the worms it's the same that "In the flesh", it has too much military band.Let's see.....mmmhhm....ehem..ehheheheheheeeem..em.Stop sucks here, because he sings it very ....ee...(a dog could sing it better)(uuuaaahhh?)The trial,...Tim Curry singing?(wasn't he an actor?)(uuuaaahhh?).The tide is turnning after live aid??? (what is this song doing in "The Wall"?)(uuuaaahh?).Look, this isn't the only live version of "The Wall", if you want one get "Is there anybody out there "The Wall" live 1980- 81"(Read my brother Rodney's review on it, you will see it's really a masterpiece).
