![]() I think the strongest part of the album are the early PF songs, like 'Dogs', 'Welcome To The Machine', 'Pigs On The Wing', 'Time' and 'Breathe'. Roger Waters didnt enter the tour dates documented on In the Flesh: Live with any great ambition. The In The Flesh Tour was partly made to restore that connection. The liner notes go into more detail about this and it is quite an interesting read. 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. Roger was the driving force behing Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, and The Fianl Cut, so Roger performs a few song from each album, as well as one song from A Saucerful Of Secrets. 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. Roger Waters has been complaining that during the heady PF days he lost the connection between himself and the audience. Most of the songs on In The Flesh: Live are from the Pink Floyd years. For all of us PF and RW fans I think this will be a treasure, even though David Gilmore's quitar work is sorely missed (They needed a couple of quitarists to replace him and although Snowy White and Doyle Bramhall do an admirable job - sometimes more than that - it just ain't the same, isn't it? I missed the bite of Gilmore's guitar.) It gives you a true live concert feeling. Sonically this is a good live recording with big sound (love those bass and drum notes!). It also contains a brand new song called "Each Small Candle." "In The Flesh" brings you an overview of Roger Water's music with early Pink Floyd material, songs from "The Wall", "Dark Side Of The Moon","Animals", "Wish You Were Here", and "The Final Cut", but also songs from the RW solo albums "Amused To Death" and "The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking".
