I'm a great PF fan and I was looking forward to see this DVD. I will start with the positive: Disc 2 is amazing, Dark Side is my favorite all time album and the version here is pretty good (not as good as the record, but what in the world is as good as the dark side record?), and the solo in Comfortably Numb is amazing (the only true "better then the original" moment in the set).
But sadly, there's also Disc 1... Shine On is a masterpiece and it's played nicely and One of These Days is always a treat (sadly the only song played from pre-dark side times), but the rest of it is just BAD. A Momentary lapse of a reason and The Division Bell are just very average albums, and the band play too much of them! I ended up skipping all those songs because they have nothing of the beauty earlier PF records had. And then, there's Another Brick In The Wall, which has a good solo but it is still a very very bad song.
And another thing, I don't like the style of the show. Too showy and grandiose; too much use of lightning, background movies, special effects and so on, and you can barely see the band. In the CN solo, there are hardly any closeups on the guitar which is a shame.
So my suggestion: Get Remember That Night by Dave and Rick instead, it is just much better.
