Summary: Pink Floyd is Pink Floyd
Review: I was amazed watching this great concert. Sound and picture quality is good enough.Camera shows team players from different
points so you can see all of them. Technicaly players are very well armed so everyone can make a solo.Roger has gathered most buityfull songs from most famous albums - "Dark side of the moon","The Wall", "Animals" and so on.Plus there are some new
songs too.I can watch it over and over again.I'd like Roger
to issue more DVD's.

Summary: Top Notch DVD
Review: The audio and video quality of this DVD are top notch. In my opinion In the Flesh (Live) is up there with the best concert DVDs available from a video production point of view. Roger and his band are simply great and the songs played are awesome live, especially the Amused to Death selections. I was at the San Francisco concert in June 2000 and thought this DVD really captured my memories the performance well.

Summary: This DVD is awesome!
Review: For the price it is a steal. I had mine pre-ordered at Suncoast Films/Video. It captures the tour perfectly. The documentary is very interesting as it shows them messing around with different Pink Floyd songs to use in the tour. The DVD is the concert in Oregon. Definitely brought back my memories of the concert I seen at Star Lake Ampitheatre in Pittsburgh. I highly recommend this DVD to all Floydians and Waters fans. PEACE!!

Summary: Fabulous
Review: Bought it and saw it today. What a wonderful compilation of Waters' genius. The sound is fantastic in surround, and the visuals crisp and intimate. The behind the scenes addition is nice if somewhat perfunctory. Would have liked a little more insight into the band. I'm a huge fan of Waters, but I think the casual Floyd fan will also find more than enough here to satisfy. I love watching Doyle Bramhall and Snowy White duel their immaculate guitars!! All-in-all a great visual/aural experience.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I WAS THERE!!!
Review: This DVD is of the Portland, Oregon concert which I saw. This is, without a doubt, the BEST concert I've ever been to. His renditions of Pink Floyd material are truer than the Pink Floyd Ltd. version in Delicate Sound Of Thunder and Pulse. His version of Shine On You Crazy Diamonds, with the back drop picture of Syd Barrett in the back ground, brought a tear to my eye. Please, buy this DVD, sit back and enjoy. It's 2 1/2 quality hours of entertainment you will never forget. I won't.

Summary: Milwaukee/Chicago Show 1999
Review: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, July 23, 1999 - Roger Waters returned to the old familiarity of the arena venue for the first time in over a decade tonight to a frenzied rush of adoration by fans new and old. On a day in which near-record 90-degree heat had the potential to dampen the fun, the skies above Milwaukee opened up for a fleeting thunderstorm followed by a deliciously cool western breeze which transformed the atmosphere and the mood of those lingering outside the venue, waiting for the chance to be let in at the appointed time. Against the backdrop of an eerily clouded sky, the crowd had arrived early; it seemed no one wanted to miss one morsel of the visual and aural feast that was to come.

Upon walking in to the Milwaukee Auditorium, it was obvious those coming for a sensory spectacle would not leave disappointed. The infamous "Q" sound system consisted of pods of speakers facing in every direction hung from the ceiling throughout the arena. One was positioned above the stage. Two large banks of speakers looking something on the order of tower speakers on steroids were even with the stage and on either side. Another mass of speakers was centered directly in the middle of the auditorium, another pair on either side lateral to the soundboard setup (about three-quarters of the way back) and finally, one additional bank in the rear of the studio. In short, a system with the ability to focus and direct sound anywhere the mixers wished. Its potential uses brought a huge smile to my face in anticipation of what was to come. Roger and his crew would not disappoint.

While walking past the soundboard, clear as a bell, there it was - the set list, posted for all to see. I quickly scratched it down on my notepad and marveled at the choices as it mirrored my wish list. As the Genie said, "you can have three wishes, if you don't take too long." My genie came through this night.

The crowd lingered in the aisles, some puffing away on cigarettes, others more potent herbal blends while others sought relief from the mundane of everyday life by imbibing on a large plastic cup of the local brew, freshly trucked in cold from the brewery. Everyone seemed relaxed but there was an undercurrent of nervous tension.

The stage was set up to allow freedom of movement of all and the shadows of the players to be splashed against the huge canopy erected behind the stage. No huge circle screens for projecting movies this time out. But in its place, something far greater.

The same lights used to "paint" the wall in Berlin were brought in and situated above and behind the sound board and way up in the very back of the auditorium. Any concerns about there being enough candlepower to light up the screen from that distance proved to be unfounded. Never in thirty years of concert going, including Rogers' previous solos tours (KAOS and Pros and Cons) and all of the Floyd tours have I ever seen anything resembling this system, which converted images onto the screen other than in the usual television 'streaming' manner, but rather like the old slide projectors from the '60's . . . with a '90's computer-controlled program that was a marvel to behold, as one picture faded into the other . . .

Finally, the lights dimmed, the crowd roared and the band broke into IN THE FLESH. The lighting system kicked in and it was clear that early on and often the limits of the sound system would be put to the test. The band immediately followed up with another classic from The Wall, ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL (PART I). One thing was obvious from the outset . . . this was an eclectic mix of musicians, like a finely tuned sports team with a mix of veterans and even a rookie named Doyle Bramhall (Jr., son of the jazz drummer) taking in essence the role of a modern-day Dave Gilmour. He would be tested early and often and scored more often than he stumbled; even the 'glitches' were forgivable given that he would be called upon to cover Dave Gilmour, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck licks. His vocals were strong and reminded one of the Dave Gilmour of the video at the ruins of Pompeii. His chops were strong, his staccato attack hacking away at covering the essence of his predecessors while obviously making these songs his own. Keep an eye on this young man . . . if you catch this tour, you'll be able to tell everybody five years from now that "you saw him when . . ."

It would not take long for Roger to dive into the depths of his writing and performing repertoire by slowing things down for MOTHER off of The Wall. With Katie Kissoon and her compatriot providing spectacular backup and background vocals, and excelling each and every chance given to take the lead, this would be an evening of sensual aural delight. Is there a finer vocalist out there than Ms. Kissoon, with as wide a range, textual quality and depth of expression? If so, I've never heard her.

In the background, the light show was ever-changing and perfectly timed to coordinate with the lyrics. Timing was the key tonight, as Roger once again showed attention to detail by bringing together so many different media all at once that there can no longer be any lingering doubt as to whom is the master of this domain. The eminent Mr. W. has reentered the forum, killed the lion and feasted on its meat with a delirious crowd of adoring supporters exhibiting their fanaticism by swaying, singing along, pumping their fists and in some cases, writhing in apparent rock 'n roll ecstacy. It was a community of like-minded souls that had come together to honor their spiritual guru as he returned to claim his rightful throne.

Summary: Half as good
Review: I saw this show live in Houston. If the DVD captures only half of the energy and tallent of the live show its worth double the price. If you are a Waters fan or a Pink Floyd fan you will love this DVD. In his live shows, Waters dose not quite capture the "right" sound on the Floyd songs, but they are still very good. His solo songs sound as good live as they do on the studio recordings. Hopefully this will be released in wide screen format.........
