This is actually the most interesting one so far. He incorporates the lyrics to the PF song " Free Four" from Obscured by Clouds, which fit well with the song.

6.5/10. This is probably the best one yet. Still not really great though.

Thoughts?

I think he's turning into William Shatner

I don't care for it and truth be told, I'm set in my ways and enjoy the older version of these songs that he played back around 2 years ago here in St. Louis MO at the Enterprise Center.. The show was a 9 out of 10 with the one point being taken away for the part where he started in with the Trump bashing nonsense while building the Wall and I basically took an intermission, went and purchased a T-Shirt commemorating the show and then headed back where that part of the show had ended.. Waters sounded flawless, even at his age, but in the end, I'll still never ever figure out WHY he along with David Gilmour couldn't have put aside their differences and Toured as Pink Floyd one last time?? That was a heavily missed opportunity, however, I also applaud David Gilmour for going on Tour with the name Pink Floyd and the middle finger to Waters at the time with their album "Momentary Lapse of Reason" in 1987.. What a concert THAT was.. Absolutely AWESOME!! Ahhhh, the memories folks..

It doesn't seem like much went into the production. It's not well thought out, not polished, nor even professional. I've listened to a lot of Floyd over the years, I even bought 3 of Roger's solo albums and 1 David Gilmour album. I even went to David Gilmour solo concert in 1984. All in all the only thing I've liked since 1982 is part of The Final Cut, 2 David Gilmour songs off his About Face album, all of Roger's ill fated Radio K.A.O.S. album and their 3 song reunion at Live Aid, or whatever the hell it was.

But for Roger at age 80 to make this very plain and dull redux is just idiotic and a complete waste of time. Roger should have simply stayed home to watch the rain.

2.5/10
