Roger Waters - Us + Them

source: Roger Waters - Us + Them

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.

This was an amazing experience for me. I was in tears most of the time since I am a hardcore Pink Floyd lover. I still think that the worst decision ever made was Roger leaving the band. If only he was present in PULSE, or if David was present here... Anyway, I was shocked when the TV version ended at 119 minutes with no comfortably numb. I mean I loved every single one of the songs, but a Pink Floyd/Roger Waters concert with no comfortably numb is like a Mac with no Coca Cola. You still enjoy it, but you are far from being satisfied. But I am not letting this BIG let down cloud my judgment. This is clearly a 10/10. A bit more about the concert. Dogs and Pigs were phenomenal. Roger pulled the Dogs even better than the way he did in "In the Flesh" concert back in 2000. Pigs was exceptionally decorated with Trump trashing pictures. However, I think it was a bit overdoing it. Another thing to mention, Another Brick In the Wall - Part 3. It was absolutely amazing. I never heard this song in any concert other than The Wall concerts. But The trio of The Happiest Days of our Lives, Another Brick In the Wall Part 2, and Part 3 was really great. The Dark Side of The Moon was very cleverly selected. Obviously Us and Them is always a choice, and it cannot be more relevant in any other concert. I think it would have been better if they omitted The Great Gig In The Sky and added Any Color You Like. The vocals in The Great Gig did not do justice to the original song. They were capable, but were far from many other before. Just look how great this song was performed in PULSE. Next, Wish You Were Here. The album as a whole and the song itself. God, I can't think of any other song this simple both in lyrics and music capable of making such joy. I am glad that Roger decided to do the original version that David hums. This version is more rich and lengthier. Welcome to the Machine was clever. Yet, I think Shine on You Crazy Diamond is the second biggest loss (at least on the TV version. I don't know about the other versions). So many things to say about this movie, and so little time. If you are a Pink Floyd fan, don't miss it for the world. If you are not, you can still watch and may even enjoy it. It is entertaining to say the least.

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 .

Watching this on sky Arts 1-30 am during lockdown can't go out everything closed ,lifted my mood , I'm 84 years old now ,but my late husband and myself loved pink Floyd,,so beautifully done ,brought back happy memories ,folks,I loved it

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.

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.

Not a Trump lover or hater. I went for the show and was not disappointed. Could have scaled down the political pinpointing for sure. I'm old enough to know we can't blame the world's problems on one president of the US. But the music and the visuals were extraordinary. Roger Waters is genius. Just ignore the political posturing.

Genius. Everything about it. The production of his tour and the way it is portrayed in the film is fantastic. This is definitely something everyone should see, even if you aren't a "Pink Floyd Fan". Those that review this movie poorly, are strictly doing so because they feel the "right wing is under attack". This is not the case, it simply highlights the reality of challenges our world face and remind us all that there is no Us & Them. We are all humans and need to collectively make it work. Plus the music itself is sublime. MUST SEE.

From the opening "Breathe, breathe in the air...." Right through to lunatic, Roger Waters delivered an absolutely amazing show. The band was fantastic, the crowd was fantastic and at 76 years young, Roger was amazing. The story delivers an epic tail culminating in Us + Them and Roger explaining there is only US!
