^^ 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.

It's a Miracle


Christmas is a miracle. Goodwill toward men, women, and children is a miracle.  Planting a tree that you won't see grow tall and mighty,  but our children's, children's, children will stare at it in awe is a miracle. We landed on the Moon...it's a miracle. Make miracles happen my friends.

Roger that...Wink

^ I'm having a Roger Waters Christmas today, but unable to find a cheerful Christmas video from Roger Waters (no surprise there!), here's a Christmas video from David Gilmour instead. Party

I've always considered this to be a 'lost' Pink Floyd song, and as such include it in my spreadsheet of every song/track the band recorded together.

You're right! Give Birth to a Smile would have been a perfect closing song for the Meddle album. Thumbs Up

4 stars 1986: Roger Waters - When the Wind Blows (soundtrack) - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHcPTPk2B4oyVVKA-cNwccoKqQ6h7YGFZ

When David Bowie was unable to commit to recording the full soundtrack for When the Wind Blows - an animated film about an elderly couple who survive a nuclear holocaust, only to slowly die of radiation poisoning - who else was director Jimmy T. Murakami going to turn to other than the obvious choice of doom and gloom merchant Roger Waters. Tongue

I've always thought that 'Biding My Time' which was released on the collection 'Relics' earlier in 1971 would have been perfect for Meddle (fitting in with the overall romantic theme of the album), but due to the strictures of 2 sides of vinyl they would have had to have had to drop the jaunty cocktail hour number 'San Tropez' and the hilarious 'Seamus'. [on a CD that wouldn't be a problem]
