Title: Mixed Bag
Review: "Pink Floyd" without Roger Waters is not Pink Floyd, and this concert demonstrates exactly why. The performances are slick and soulless; the remaining three band members go through the motions without much emotion or chemistry, as most of the emotional power and angst that characterized classic Pink Floyd came from the genius of Waters.The over-the-top light show is ridiculous but serves effectively to distract the viewer from the mediocre musical performance.This is a flashy, carefully-produced presentation of Pink Floyd music by three talented guys, but it feels like a stale nostalgia act when stripped of the gravitas, poetry and feeling that Waters brought to the band. These are great songs, no doubt, and it's nice to watch Gilmour lay it down on lead guitar. However at the end of the day it just feels like more spectacle than substance.
