At the end of Shine On You Crazy Diamond there is this kind of ad lib in which the female backing vocals and Doyle Bramhall II (if I'm not mistaken) sing "Shine" a few times.
I think it was not necesarry at all and didn't improve the perfomance of the song at all.
Still quite happy with this DVD, though :)
What do you think?
I found this song to be quite disappointing.
Mostly because of that guitarist with the black hair thought he was too good. I hate the way he butchered this song with that first solo after the drums and everything come in.
What's even more disappointing is that he basically ripped off the Texas Flood solo rather than keeping the solo that Dave Gilmour originally wrote.
1/10 for that crap solo.
Roger Waters on the other hand was awesome as always.
I absolutely agree with you, in general i believe Roger uses too much screaming female vocal wich don`t always match the nature of his songs, but whatever I say he`s magnificent!
I'm sorry to say (because i'm a huge Wters fan) that this song was destroyed by Doyle Bramhall, the solos on "Shine" should've been left untouched, and re-created, Snowy White does a bad job too, PULSE's version of this particvular song is better, but still incomplete without Roger.
shareI didn't like the whole "Shiiiiiiine" thing, but in reply to other posters, I believe that guitar solos should be improvised, rather than being played the same all the time.
Solo time is supposed to be a gap for a musician to express him/herself. Not easy to do it you have to be musically and tonally slavish to something that someone else did.
I would rather hear Bramhall and White do their own thing rather than try - and fail - to duplicate what Gilmour did. Bramhall's tone was just too thin.
"It's just a movie" is no excuse for treating us like idiots!
