Comparatively, "In the flesh" concert was far more superior artistically and sonically than "Pulse" concert. Roger was the genius behind all Pink Floyd albums except of course "Momentary lapse of reasons" and "Division Bells" @Paulwiffen rather than sit through "The Wall" again, I'd rather you go and get all your limbs sawed off.

Fabulously relaxed and informative interview ... Nice work, Mr. Williams. I was blessed to be able to attend two Wall performances, 5 days apart. Roger, you absoloutely tugged at my heart strings. The proof is my photographic art creation of "A Theft", where you are facing a sad, starving child and your arms are outstretched. Thank you for supporting a variety of persons whom are less fortunate than ourselves. It gives "Us and Them" new meaning! ;) Surely, your work will continue to live on and be appreciated by generations to come ... Thank you kind, sir. Love Ruby ♥

I walked out of The Wall concert at Earl's Court once Gilmour had sung and played the Wall's highlight Comfortably Numb before having to sit through the prerecorded dreariness that is The Trial. The idea of sitting through ti again without Gilmour's solos, Rick's keyboard textrues and Nick's drumming fills me with dread. Waters really is one self-pitying, moaning, out-of-tune whinger, no wonder the rest of Floyd couldn't work with him any longer. This album is the death-knell of the world's greatest group and it saddens me that hordes of younger people are going to sit through it again, without the genius of Pink Floyd to alleviate the tedium of Roger's lyrics and tuneless vocals. I would rather saw my arm off with a rusty hacksaw than sit through this!

I am too going to see Roger in April when the wall tour comes here to Finland. Not a chance I'm missing this one. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Thoroughly enjoyed that, a really good interview. I'm going to see The Wall in May and now looking forward to it even more! It's always been one of my favourite albums, I was just too young to see the tour the first time around. Interesting insight into what to expect. Nice one Russ!
