Roger Waters The Wall - Live in Berlin on DVD

Since it was a concert that Walter personally attended on July 21st 1990; I knew it was going to be good.

So I put a big (self-serve) bowl of Halloween candy out on the front porch; I didn't want any listening interruptions.

I have a small 12 x 12 make-shift listening room. It's a place to go listen, when the main set-up in the family room is otherwise occupied.
A Yamaha RXV-1 powers Speaker Company TST3's fronts, PSB center and Altec 75's in the rear. (I told you it was a makeshift set-up)
I had the volume cranked higher than then I ever had it before. So high, that the TST3's that I previously thought lacked bass, were shaking the floor. (no sub, yet)

Any Floyd / Roger Waters fans will really enjoy this DVD. Walter could probably describe it better than I.
I've never seen a bigger stage set-up; it had to be at least 600' long.
A live audience of 250,000(they stopped selling tiks at 250K) and a television audience of 500 million in 52 countries watched this staging at the site of the Berlin Wall. This was a show of historic proportions, with a cast of music and film stars backed by a 100-piece orchestra, the Marching Band of the Combined Soviet Forces in Germany, 150 extras and the East Berlin Rundfunk choir of 100. Along with an all star cast of guests.
I can't wait to watch this again. Thanks Walter!

I've seen this out recently on SACD, as well. I'm gonna have to pick it up, now.

Netflixed.

Adam is gonna be beside himself.

I wonder how that would sound on your main system. Pink Floyd's Pulse is also an incredible concert. It was recommended by some other old guys a while back.

What do mean old guys??

Don't feel bad. It's just happening to you before it happens to me.
I'm not exactly a spring chicken myself but at least I'm not like 50, I just feel like I am.

Alex, I have the Pulse concert too, and agree it's great.

When you get the chance rent Live in Berlin; or find it cheap on ebay, so you'll get the booklet that's inside.
It's unbelievable how vast the stage and the whole set-up is.
They did a really good job matching up every guest with the songs they performed.

When you get the chance ...

You should see the size of the list that starts with those words.

I've got the same list, and I'm going to do something on it right now.

Oh , so heading out to pick up more beer is the answer,

Now that you mention it I haven't enjoyed any frosty fake ones since I have been back except for a St. Paulie Girl imitation beer out at dinner the other night. If I had any balls what so ever I would make my g/f pick them up on the way home from work ... but that's just not the case.

Roger Waters - The Wall - Live in Berlin.

Thanks to Rick & Walter for the tips on Pink Floyd. I'm a huge fan myself.
I'll be looking for that one for sure.

* By the way, a Music Concert DVD that I really dig is "Roger Waters - In the Flesh - Live."

Well, seeing as how she carries them around with her, I then can understand why you don't have them.

....in a similar vein, I've been drinking the Genuine Draft 64's lately. Not bad, they actually taste like beer, and almost no calories. They're just a bit stronger than Perrier, so you're not hammered after the 5th one, but you get a decent buzz. I've yet to wake up with a hangover after downing a six pack, but normally only drink 3-4. It's odd after 4 I just don't feel like drinking them anymore. Kinda like having their own internal limit built right in.

Good show. I almost attended this show. My parents at the time (I was 16) would have allowed to attend, but I hit a snag on acquiring a Ticket. My parents made up for it in 1994, they reimbursed me for both Pink Floyd shows at the Pontiac Silverdome. Nothing like hearing DSotM Live, in it's entirety for the first time in 19 years (at the time).

Lately, I prefer to watch David Gilmour Live in Gdansk. The songs sound even better with a full Orchestra. A Great Day for Freedom is simply amazing with the Orchestra.
