This was an amazing experience for me. I was in tears most of the time since I am a hardcore Pink Floyd lover. I still think that the worst decision ever made was Roger leaving the band. If only he was present in PULSE, or if David was present here...
Anyway, I was shocked when the TV version ended at 119 minutes with no comfortably numb. I mean I loved every single one of the songs, but a Pink Floyd/Roger Waters concert with no comfortably numb is like a Mac with no Coca Cola. You still enjoy it, but you are far from being satisfied. But I am not letting this BIG let down cloud my judgment. This is clearly a 10/10.
A bit more about the concert. Dogs and Pigs were phenomenal. Roger pulled the Dogs even better than the way he did in "In the Flesh" concert back in 2000. Pigs was exceptionally decorated with Trump trashing pictures. However, I think it was a bit overdoing it.
Another thing to mention, Another Brick In the Wall - Part 3. It was absolutely amazing. I never heard this song in any concert other than The Wall concerts. But The trio of The Happiest Days of our Lives, Another Brick In the Wall Part 2, and Part 3 was really great.
The Dark Side of The Moon was very cleverly selected. Obviously Us and Them is always a choice, and it cannot be more relevant in any other concert. I think it would have been better if they omitted The Great Gig In The Sky and added Any Color You Like. The vocals in The Great Gig did not do justice to the original song. They were capable, but were far from many other before. Just look how great this song was performed in PULSE.
Next, Wish You Were Here. The album as a whole and the song itself. God, I can't think of any other song this simple both in lyrics and music capable of making such joy. I am glad that Roger decided to do the original version that David hums. This version is more rich and lengthier. Welcome to the Machine was clever. Yet, I think Shine on You Crazy Diamond is the second biggest loss (at least on the TV version. I don't know about the other versions).
So many things to say about this movie, and so little time. If you are a Pink Floyd fan, don't miss it for the world. If you are not, you can still watch and may even enjoy it. It is entertaining to say the least.
