This filmed record of Waters' 2000 U.S. tour was the perfect primer to what one could expect in getting (or rather experiencing) at his concerts nowadays. Having said that, I'm pleased that his Malta show was far more spectacular (with pyrotechnics and inspired video projections galore), not least because he performed "Dark Side Of The Moon" (1973) in its entirety and the overwhelming 13,000-strong crowd response which chanted along each and every song, even the more obscure ones. Admittedly, Pink Floyd - together with The Doors, Eagles and Queen not trailing too far behind - are undoubtedly the most popular band on this island.Anyway, to get back to that 2000 concert: Waters is in very good spirits and is backed by an extremely capable band (the majority of which was present yesterday as well); he did tend to leave several of the most arduous singing chores to the multi-instrumentalist younger performers by his side (something which, thankfully, he did less of in yesterday's concert). The set is a kind of Pink Floyd "Greatest Hits" touching on every facet of the band's history from their psychedelic roots through their concept-heavy AOR heyday to a couple of Waters solo efforts. I found the fact that Waters and Co. sat down to a game of cards during a lengthy instrumental section in their rendition of the 24-minute "Dogs" quite amusing. Several of these songs were also performed in the Malta set with the notable exception of the latter, although he did include a remarkable rendition of "Sheep" off the same album, "Animals" (1977).It's a great pity that such a memorable occasion had to have a sad epilogue with the announcement of Syd Barrett's untimely death the very next day; I have to say that I winced when Waters failed to make any mention of his former bandmate during his performance of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"...could it be he was already aware of his passing?

This video is very good consitering it doesn't have barley any of the orignal band members. Rodger Waters is geting old but can still do his thing. He preforms all of his classic tunes when he was with Pink Floyd and this video is for any Floyd Fan.

Bringing his famous "In the Flesh" tour to the live DVD market has got to be one of the most beloved thing Waters could do for his legion of fans. Packed with over 2 and 1/2 hours of sonic beauty, Waters over-views his entire musical tenure. Starting with Pink Floyd's "In the Flesh," Waters tips his hat to "The Wall" which then turns to the "Final Cut" and then "Animals" with one of the best versions of 'Dogs' since the late 1970's. Capping off his first set with numerous "Wish You Were Here" songs including 'Shine On you Crazy Diamond,' Waters gives Syd Barrett due credit.His second set brings us back to 'Set the Controls' and then launches into a multi-song "Dark Side of the Moon" frenzy that includes songs that Waters, prior to 1999, hadn't ever played before. Going into solo mode, the band plays classics from "The Pros and Cons" and "Amused to Death" and finishes with "Brain Damage/ Eclipse."After all of that, one who think the 57-year-old Waters would need a walker to get off stage. Proving us all wrong, Waters plays Floyd classic "Comfortably Numb" and then encores with a new song "Each Small Candle." Complete with a behind the scenes documentary and various pictures, Waters answers the question that he himself posed in the mid 70's: "Which One's Pink?"

Roger Waters, who was the songwriting mastermind behind such classic Pink Floyd (with whom he played bass, from their origination in 1965 to 1985) albums as "Dark Side of the Moon" and "The Wall," triumphs in this collection of footage from his massive In The Flesh World Tour. His songwriting abilities shine in such deliciously satirical and cynical songs as "Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert," "The Happiest Days Of Our Lives," and "Amused To Death." Just as with his former outfit, his ability to perform on stage is captivating (without the overexposing grandeur of massive stadium shows). A must-see for any fan of Waters, and even fans of Pink Floyd.
