David Gilmore -v- Roger Waters // DVD review

[3-LockBox]

I have viewed the David Gilmore dvd and it is fluff. Very fluff.

It is definately a sedate performance, but I did enjoy it. I wouldn't whip it out to impress anyone though.

But yes, visually and sonically, the Waters DVD has more wow factor and would best for an HT demo.

Gilmore's approach has its place, but the Sonnet 18 song he does as one of the extra features is cringe inducing to say the least and I could have done without Wrights inclusion.

if Waters is Pink, Gilmore must be Floyd. But lets not forget of the other two.
I have seen Pink Floyd in Concert (twice) without Waters and I own In The Flesh. Id have to say that Waters' voice catches the dark elements of what Pink Floyd was in the 70's. However, In The Flesh had very lame parts when other people tried to mimic Gilmore's prestine voice. The two are a perfect match: like heaven and hell, ying and yang, Gilmore and Waters.

Gilmore = fluff.

Waters = the real thing.

End of story, end of discussion.

And that, my friend, is where we differ.

FYI, The Wall is coming to Broadway with Waters at the helm. From what I understand, Water's is writing the thing right now. Back in college, I did genre paper comparing two musicals: The Wall vs (drum roll please) Singing in the Rain! Research for that paper was, uhh, enlightening to say the least.

After having seen both dvd's I think both fail in comparison to the Live in Pompeii dvd, I feel this is one of the most accurate examples of pre DSOM Pink Floyd.
