Amazon.com: Recorded on a single night in June 2000, In the Flesh: Live is a thrilling live testament to the strength of Roger Waters's peculiar artistic vision. Backed by a crack ensemble of both fresh and seasoned players, the former Pink Floyd songsmith powers through Floyd classics, underserved relics, and highlights from his spotty solo career. The man is in great shape, physically and musically, and he obviously has a blast playing live.
What of the axe work? Accept the fact that Waters and Floyd guitarist David Gilmour no longer play together, and you'll appreciate stand-ins Snowy White and Doyle Bramhall II--and the degree to which they honor the parts and solos immortalized by Gilmour. (See the lavish but impersonal Pulse for a healthy dose of Gilmour's Floyd.) The Dolby Digital 5.1 surround mix is massive, presenting both the music's inherent spaciousness and the favorable acoustics in Portland, Oregon's Rose Garden Arena. The DVD's 18-minute documentary is long on downtime and short on musical interplay. Any way you cut it, though, this is a must for Floyd fans and a real treat for lovers of arty, intelligent rock. --Michael Mikesell
EASYRIDER Are you a "Fan" of "Pink Floyd"? If you are.... Buy this! the music is fantastic and the light show is great! I absolutely loved it!
Musically Brilliant! As an older Pink Floyd fan I appreciate this DVD as much if not more than the original music by Gilmour, Waters, Mason, & Barrett. Waters masterfully blends the music in a great concert that you'll want to watch over and over again. Doyle Bramhall and Snowy White play the guitar riffs and leads even better than the originals of yesteryear. If you watch this DVD your ears will fixate on the auditory teasings and you'll never want to turn it off. I play it while at work on my computer and simply minimize the video. Superb DVD!!!!!!
Simply wonderful Watching this DVD has to be done in an HDTV in order to fully enjoy the visuals. The music is fantastic and roger waters really puts in a performance worthy of the music he plays.
The guitar play is particularly wonderful, just top notch!
Buy the DVD it is an investment that you won't regret

Either you love him or hate him Many of my friends have issues with Roger Waters, but as for me I love him and his lyrics. He puts on one hell of show. When I first heard "It all makes perfect sense", I knew I had to get this live album. It is absolutly terrrific. Keep exploring Roger and keep reaching. I'm a fan.
One to add to your collection! I'm not a huge fan of Pink Floyd but purchased this dvd for the sole purpose of seeing Doyle Bramhall II perform. Wow! The whole dvd is awesome and the sound is great. I can't get enough of the guitar jam at the end of 'Comfortably Numb'! Bramhall and Snowy White rock!!! (This is by far one of the best bargains at $14.98....!)
