    THE WALL REHEARSALS BERLIN '90, PART ONE
    Superb quality footage taken by a "Newsweek" reporter granted access to three days of rehearsals. Close, but wandering camerawork. Quite interesting to watch. Volume One:

    July 18, 1990: Daytime rehearsals for the band and backup singers (no guest stars yet). Roger performs one minute of an acoustic "Bravery of Being Out of Range," years before Amused to Death. The nighttime rehearsal focuses on film projection and lighting, with eerie, naked mannequins standing in for the performers. Two of the lighting technicians amusingly describe their duties.

    July 19, 1990: A nearly complete rehearsal of The Wall, including most of the special guest musicians, but minus the orchestra and choir.

    July 20, 1990: Some daytime rehearsing, including clips of Bryan Adams, Joni Mitchell, and James Galway.


    THE WALL REHEARSALS BERLIN '90, PART TWO
    The complete dress rehearsal from the evening of July 20! Again, terrific quality. Our cameraman is in the audience, giving this a bootleg feel. The lense zooms in and out, and back and forth across the wide stage, finding various effects and set details missed by the official video release. Roger sings delicately for the most part -- even skipping occasional lyrics -- to save his voice. Van Morrison is nowhere to be seen throughout all the rehearsals (too bad he made it to the actual concert).

    Overall, a neat counterpart to the sterile, ultra-polished pro video version. Unfortunately, "The Tide is Turning" encore is ruined by tape problems and cut short.
