Roger Waters - Us + Them

Waters one of the founding and driving members of Pink Floyd brings his version of some of the bands classic songs to this concert . Well filmed and the sound is very high quality . Some may not like his anti Trump message near the end , but Rogers a product of lower middle class England in the 60s has always had something important to say . Definitely worth a watch and listen .

This movie/concert only deserves a ten star rating, anything lower is just not justified. I'm kidding of course, if you don't like Pink Floyd or Roger Waters it's your right to not like it, but reading from another reviewer that actually likes Pink Floyd smashing this movie down because there is too much anti-Trump propaganda or too much leftist propaganda is just ridiculous. What did you expect from Roger Waters? That's exactly what we (Pink Floyd addicts and fans) want to see. His music is about everything that goes wrong on this planet, and Trump is part of that. That said, Us + Them was a show I didn't see yet (live I mean). I had the honor and pleasure to see them five times live, with the biggest concert of my life in Berlin in 1990 to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall eight months earlier (half a million of people singing together that's just a moment I can't describe), so you could say I can judge them fairly, or at least compare the different shows. The truth is that Us + Them had me four times in tears, and that's not a bad thing at all, on the contrary. It's just a powerful concert, and that you can witness in the audience, which you see in several shots, they are clearly all touched by the whole gig . This show is visually very powerful, and musically it's just Pink Floyd, and that's by definition always perfect, the best you can get in music.

This was magnificent, period. Many of my current favourites isn't part of this concert, but hey, my Pink Floyd favourites has shifted through my life, so this was more of a collection of a lot of my previous favourites. I had the pleasure of seeing the other part of Pink Floyd live in Nice in the 90s, but possibly this was a even greater performance. I've always been a Gilmour fan, but the composing genius of Waters is without question the biggest reason for their formidable success. And most of Waters' lyrics has a sharp message. So, to all of you who think this was too politically biased, have you ever actually read the lyrics? Waters has always been on the left side in politics, with stark criticism of the establishment/system, of greed, of war mongering and everything else he finds wrong in this world. You could start by reading the lyrics on Animals - a little hint, it's not about animals at a farm.

So it's just plainly ignorant to give this concert a low rating just because you don't like his message. That is his privilege to do and what you should expect from him. Agreeing or not.

It's not just a concert. It's a mix between a Roger Waters show and a drama movie, that tells some parallel stories about minorities, war, humanity and all of that stuff you can expect from Waters (so, yeah, it's very political, no surprises here). I was expecting just a concert movie, but the documentary aspect made it superb and very emotional, so it's not just a "boring" regular movie show.

Roger Waters knows how to perform a magnific gig, and this tour sounds just like a modern Pink Floyd, unlike his old tours wich the musics sounded like just a good Pink Floyd cover. Also, it has a very good mix, just like the The Wall Tour, wich is one of the best live mix I've listened.

This time, the projections shows a orb travelling trought our world, just like it would be in a Pink Floyd concert. If it may now sound exactly like Pink Floyd, it at least it LOOKS like what a modern Pink Floyd show would be (of course, with a lot of political questions).

Also, the show is the Dark Side Of The Moon album, but with some songs added in the adulthood part (B side). The order of the songs are perfect and make it a incredible show with a more complex narrative. A must watch for Pink Floyd fans.

(I don't get why people dislike Roger Waters or any people just by his beliefs. Yeah, he says a lot of garbage, including about my country, that he knows nothing about but still saying some superficial stuff. But I can separate Waters pollitical opinions by Waters artistic side, and yeah, this show is a masterpiece and can be enjoyable... unless you REALLY like Trump.)

Unfortunately I missed out on seeing the live show due to being away on holiday. Being a huge Pink Floyd fan I found this absolutely stunning. Can't wait for the blu ray release.
