Performance: A-
Overall: 4/5 iTunes
This is the same show that was videotaped and released. Let me take a second to talk about this and the other video floating around the internet. The Earl's Court is the best show and the 'Divided We Fall' is the most watchable version of these. However this is not something you will find yourself watching over and over but all Floyd fans should seek it out, this live show is a part of history and these videos, although are very bad quality, will give you a vague idea of what occurred at these shows (unless you were lucky enough to actually see one in the flesh (lucky bastard!). I also checked out 'Roger Waters - iShoot, iEdit' bootleg video of the 2010 Wall show, shot in HD it is fabulous!
The sound quality is very good, there are some minor volume fluctuations but still very enjoyable and the performance was fantastic, see track down for more. The crowd a littler louder than I would have liked, some extra chatting and coughs etc, cheering at inappropriate times was also a touch annoying.
Track Breakdown…
In The Flesh: The volume has very minor fluctuations
Another Brick In The Wall (part 2): Good guitar work
Mother: Nice version, very well done
Empty spaces: Seems like a minor equipment malfunction for a note or two, some good drum work. (I don't say that often enough)
Hey You: What makes Dave laugh this time? such a cheery guy. Guitar solo was a little low on volume again
Nobody Home: Good TV flipping thru the whole segment, the recording is excellent from this standpoint, can really hear the TV channels come in clearly.
Comfortably Numb: Great solo here, nice work Dave!
In The Flesh: Volume drop out just before the vocals start The crowd likes the pig. ;-) Roger doesn't
Run Like Hell: Sound goes all muffled for a second, sounds like a microphone mishap. Good version though, lots of intensity, which is word I use way too often)
Outside the wall: someone can’t whistle thru their fingers! (Well I can't either so they shouldn't feel bad. LOL) We get treated to Glenn Miller's Pennsylvania 6500, you can thank my dad for me knowing that, at the end for about 4 minutes, obviously they played some music for folks to go home too.
This is a great show and a good recording and it really worth tracking down.
