Roger Waters is using pre recorded tapes of his VOICE. And I don't speak about his virtual duet on Mother. That is a fact. He sings over is own tape but what you actually ear in the venue is mostly the pre recorded tape. Just make a test : listen Roger singing ABITW part 3 in Berlin 1990 - real voice. Then listen to the same song on the 2014 release of The Wall Live.

It was a wonderful time. Once seeing my rock stars at the top I have difficulties to enjoy their shows when witnessing them going down. I feel now myself like a man of the past. Glad to have attended most of those I wanted to ear live. Some big regrets to the few I missed, on the top on my list being Mitch Ryder and the late Tom Petty.

QuoteStoneage In a way they have had their future behind them ever since the comeback in 1989. Since then they have been a band more of the past than the future. Their music really mattered in the late sixties and the seventies - it hasn't since. Whatever they do now is not a hanging matter anymore. Except for the hard core fans maybe... I mostly agree with that as their last big hit w

QuoteTheflyingDutchman QuoteWorriedAboutYou The important thing is knowing when to stop. Hi-fi can be an expensive and bottomless rabbit hole. Correct. I'm a "victim" as well, classical music in particular. Music should have back to front depth coming from the speakers, no treble, midrange or bass needed to adjust the sound. Once you get lost in that, the sky is the limit. I kn

Why do you need RS song for testing a system? Always take the music you like and you are familiar with because this is what you will listen on your system. If you want an "audiophile" approach, also take classical : symphonic recordings, organ, piano, all sort of accoustic recordings. Last but not least, the main factor for music reproduction is the room where it is played. It

Quotefrankotero Hmm, I’m not sure why people believe The Beatles are over hyped. To my knowledge they’ve never displayed or said they’re above anyone else. Actually I think they’ve tried to down play the whole thing individually. On the other hand fans can be accused of having high praise for them, but we could say the same about us here. Myself included anyway I find the whole competition borin

BR is great to get uncompressed audio as it is a mandatory feature. Not DVD. And this is not just a 4/3 upscale of standard SD resolution, they are featuring split screen. video: A missed opportunity at these orchestral shows was to get a real piano. Nonetheless the orchestral show worked great.SOYL was mindblowing.

Too bad the BR format is only available on the too costly boxset for me. If you take the standalone versions of the individual concerts you get only DVD instead. I will never understand their (dirty) marketing strategy. Sorry I will pass on it.

QuoteIrix Quoteds1984 "The rights of phonogram producers last for 50 years [...] after its creation if it had never been communicated to the public" It's the rights of the phonogram producers - but in copyright there're also the rights of authors (composition/lyrics) and performers (sound recording).
