Rating: Summary: Rog Is The Man Review: I agree with the other 5 star reviews. The DVD's not out--I haven't seen it. I saw Waters play IN THE FLESH in L.A. and Mountain View, No. California. Both shows were phenominal. It took two lead guitarists to fill Gilmours shoes but after both solo'd during "Another Brick in The Wall Part 2" I knew they were for real. The highlight of the show for me was the bands 17 minute rendition of "Dogs." Perhaps the best concert I've ever seen, even beating out Waters "Radio Chaos" tour 12 years earlier. A must have for any Roger Waters/Pink Floyd fan.
Rating: Summary: BUY THIS SHOW ! Review: I saw Rog in Minneapolis and it was the best show that I've ever seen! :O Never having seen Pink Floyd live, in their videos, they seem to come across in a very impersonal way. Especially playing stadiums and such. The way Rog's band connected with the audience was phenominal. I cannot really imagine seeing a better show than this, except for when the floyd was full and functioning...well touring anyways, pre 1981.
Rating: Summary: God bless Roger! Review: I saw the first 2 shows of the tour (Milwaukee and Chicago). The performance was great, the band was amazing and Roger was...well...he was Roger...in all his glory. Don't miss this DVD!
Rating: Summary: the best live show since Roger Waters Berlin 90 Review: Well... since the dvd hasn't been realesed yet... I havent seen it... but I when to three shows... and it was amazing... I just can't wait to see it again... if you're planing to buy any of pink floyd videos... don't. the only worthy is live at pompeii... but do not buy delicate or pulse.. buy Roger waters In the Flesh!!!
Rating: Summary: In The FLesh Review: I dont need to watch the video i was there! The way Roger performed is truly one of his best performances next to the WALL This DVD took to long for it to come out on DVD for the fans and now the people who missed the show will see what they missed out on. Roger should take floyd back!! I hope you all enjoy this Show!!!!!!!!!!! Im buying this one myself!
Rating: Summary: Roger Waters best performance captured on DVD Review: Roger Waters is definentley one of my favorite song writers of all time. I am almost definently sure he wrote everything that he performs on this dvd with the excpetion of Comfortably Numb (David Gilmour.) He wrote all of the good Floyd songs. And he knows just how to perform them. If you are a Pink Floyd fan you must own this dvd. There are way more performances than Live at Pompeii, but it lacks the rest of Pink Floyd. I give it 4 stars, because some of these songs were written with the intention of Gilmour and Wright singing them. The guy who sings them isn't bad at all, but it just isnt the same. The guitarist is really good and plays Gilmour's solos perfectly. None the less, watching Roger Waters sing some of the songs that he sings on the albums is bad @ss. Roger Waters is the $hit. He even plays bass and acoustic guitar the whole time. Unlike in The Wall Live at Berlin where he hardly even touches one. The band in this concert is unbelievable and this would have been me favorite Floyd DVD if it werent for Pompeii. Definently buy Pompeii if you like seeing the original Floyd all together, but if you like the songs on this DVD get this. It's defineently better than David Gilmour's because it has more Pink Floyd songs. Unless they come out with an old Floyd DVD of one of their old concerts this will remain the best Floyd all concert DVD (because Pompeii is more of a hanging out with the band movie.)Basically if you like Pink Floyd, buy this DVD.
Rating: Summary: Don't waste your time... Review: Roger, get back with the Floyd. Your solo career is pathetic.
Rating: Summary: Major Score!! Review: Picked this up for 9.99 (at another major retailer, but that's hardly the point, 11.99 is a great price) yesterday, got home and popped it in.
Starts out with "In the Flesh?" and you can clearly see that Waters is having a blast being on stage performing. The sound quality on this first track seems to waver at points; almost made me think the whole disc was going to sound this way and be a "one-timer" (one watch). NO WAY. I was wrong. If you're a die-hard Floyd fan, order it now, you won't be disappointed. 170 minutes of classic PF with a few of Roger's songs added to the mix. His guitarists switch leads and each do a fantastic job of emulating the sound of David Gilmour and if you close your eyes, this IS Pink Floyd. I'm not going to get into the track listing, you can get most of it from the other reviews and from the companion CD's track listing; but believe me, it's worth every penny.
Rating: Summary: In a word: Spectacular, Tremendous, Awesome! Review: OK that's three words, but a DVD this great can't be summed up easily. Especially to think you can pick this up for less than $10, it's unbelievable. What a great group of musicians and a great collection of songs. Really, REALLY well done. Ok, the documentary is inadequate, but who cares! The performance is what counts. I bought this and watched it 3 nights in a row. Even my wife, who is a so-so classic rock fan, sat through all three playings. If you don't have it, order it now!!
Rating: Summary: Stunning Review: Almost no footage of Pink Floyd has been released on DVD, so this concert video featuring Floyd lyricist Roger Waters is especially welcome. Featuring an ace lineup of crack session musicians (most of whom work regularly with Eric Clapton), Waters serves up a generous slice of Floyd classics - including the bulk of the "Animals," "Wish You Were Here," and "Dark Side of the Moon" albums, all performed with both passion and professionalism. Even Waters' solo material, which is preachy and one-dimensional by comparison, comes across as exciting.
The result is amazing, and is only enhanced by the tasteful camerawork. Both previous Floyd concerts on VHS ("Pulse" and "Delicate Sound of Thunder") were hampered by kitchy, corny direction; this is a common flaw among concert films. "In the Flesh" avoids these problems, and holds up exceptionally well. Indeed, this might have been an even more enjoyable show on DVD rather than live, due to the great work by the camera crew.
This is one concert DVD I'm happy to watch in its entirety.
