Roger Waters

Disc 01 of 02
Duration: 1:18:43
Liberated Bootleg

Lineage unknown.


01 In The Flesh
02 Mother
03 Set The Controls For the Heart Of The Sun
04 Shine On You Crazy Diamond
05 Have A Cigar
06 Wish You Were Here
07 Southampton Dock
08 The Fletcher Memorial Home
09 Perfect Sense Parts 1 and 2
10 Leaving Beirut
11 Sheep

2 Camera mix (1 at stage and 1 at a giant screen) - not too much shaking, stage camera is quite sharp when taking wide shots. Obviously experienced cameramen. With some exceptions, avoided amateur mistakes of zooming in and out, swinging camera around everytime a different part of the stage was lit, losing subject, losing focus, etc. Surprisingly good quality close-ups for available light. Some graininess especially during close-ups. Occasional people walk in front of camera for a second or two at a time. Annoying but not so bad.

Decent production values - spared from constant fades but the ones that are there are relevant and well done. There is a 1 button menu featuring the cover of Animals while ironically, Dave is singing Wish You Were Here (from DSoT). Songs are chaptered but there is no way to jump to specific chapters through the menu.

SQ is EX-. Some minor distortion at times with some audience noise. I can confidently say that this audio does not come from either of the two known recordings; Dan Lynch's on the PRS label (http://www.pf-db.com/index.php?bootleg_id=4569&concert_id=1909) or the Hommage Production's (http://www.pf-db.com/index.php?concert_id=1909&bootleg_id=4608) recording so this would be completely new audio.

Overall this is quite an enjoyable and accurate representation of Roger's show that evening.

At the end of Disc 1, there is a looped video of the full moon that was on the giant screen during intermission along with the DSoT version of Wish You Were Here playing. The following title is written over the video loop and throughout the playing of that entire song: "the following is an officially released audio track it is not legal to upload it to any turrent [sic] site thanks". I believe that this was just the Bootlegger's way of padding the video by about 4 minutes and trying to keep it off Yeeshkul!

Huge thanks go out to he who provided me with this disc. You know who you are.
