By now, many reviews have been written on this product. A number of reviewers who have criticized it (albeit in a very minor way) for not being a "complete" concert, or for not having the option of viewing/listening to the live show straight through (i.e., without any of the vignettes of Roger on the road), are, (with all due respect), missing the point. This is NOT just another concert. It is much more than a band getting up on stage and playing a set or two of music. This is musical theater in its grandest form. The portions of the show filmed outside of the stadium are an integral part of the production. Importantly, they do not take up very much time, but they do contribute significantly to the whole. If this were a recording of four guys playing on a small stage in a club, and the camera continually drifted away from the players to show trippy visuals or landscapes (like too many concert videos have done), I'd say thumbs down all the way, but that is NOT what this is. This production was MAMMOTH in size and scope; simply filming the band singing and playing the songs the whole time would have miserably failed to capture its essence. One reviewer who had attended the show in the tenth row and again in the middle of the stadium, (I should have been so lucky to have attended it just once, anywhere in the venue!), wrote that the film did not succeed in replicating the experience of the show and all that it had to offer, because it kept moving from the stage, to the POV of Roger looking out at the crowd, to a vignette on the road, etc., instead of staying in the middle of the stadium focused on the stage. (S/he opined that the middle of the venue was a better spot to be than up close.) Not having seen the show, I won't argue the point. The film did, in my opinion, give the viewer/listener a means of experiencing the production about as well as any film possibly could have done!One might criticize this film (and the live show) as pretentious, over-the-top, depressing, or any number of other things, but it is undeniably a HUGE artistic production and accomplishment. If you enjoy(ed) the album (i.e., Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'), then I highly recommend this film. You not only get to hear the music performed nearly flawlessly by its principal creator and a hand-picked bunch of cracking musicians, but you get to view a spectacle of truly epic proportions to boot. This necessarily means that you don't get to watch the musicians the whole time (like you would on most great concert video recordings... remember that this is NOT just a concert). In my opinion, this is NOT a flaw of the film, but rather an asset. While watching players play is usually the "raison de etre", this is not the case here... the players become more and more hidden by the wall being built as the show progresses, and this is a major part of the production. No stage production of this magnitude exists anywhere else, and it literally has to be seen to be believed! In this case (and perhaps only in this case), the "show" eclipses the players (intentionally and very successfully). The size and scale of the show is absolutely enormous, and for this reason, among others, the production (including the shots on the road and elsewhere) is worthy of a film (hence the film).Last but not least, the quality of everything is superb... the video production, the editing, the sound, the mixing, the musicianship, the stage production... everything. The content is a little dark, (to say the least, hence the R rating), but if you are not put off by it (most fans of The Wall clearly are not), then it's well worth the ride.

The media could not be loaded. My credentials I graduated high school 1982 I've listened to the album dozens upon dozens of times, I've listened to the live bootleg recordings of the original tour dozens upon dozens of times. I saw the movie dozens upon dozens of times. I saw this tour twice. First I must criticize one criticism from another reviewer, the reviewer is dissatisfied that the continuity of the concert is disrupted though I agree to a certain extent, and I do agree with another reviewer that there should have been an alternative menu option where you can watch the concert uninterrupted. If you really don't want to see The Unwanted Parts just use the time to get another drink or something. The artist presented his work in many different versions of the wall, this particular DVD is one such version and should be viewed and critically appreciated for what it is. There are other options to view this tour via Pro Shot Video available on various different Avenues formats or platforms or what have you. No need to discuss the wall as far as interpretating analyzing or explaining one could do their own research. The audio and visual is very good. I didn't say anything about the extras so maybe I will in the future if I'm able to update usually the extras aren't good sometimes the extras are better I'll find out soon and will report. By the way on the director's cut of Pompeii there is a second video option to play would I believe is the original at the very least it doesn't have the space stuff in it. But don't think that space stuff is irrelevant because it's continuity and relationships to the space program and the album and of course there's interweaving themes that go through all the albums all the way up through and including the wall and beyond. But that's beyond the scope of this review.... big brother is watching

Y mejor definición

Bild und Ton super, interessant und musikalisch gut.Beste Empfehlung.

Un BLURAY de ROGERS WATERS d'une grande originalité ,comme souvent , j'aime bien , dans la ligné du DVD ( IN THE FLESH LIVE).

DEN HÄR VIDEON VAR MER ÄN UNDERBAR....DET VAR SOM EN SLAGS FORTSÄTTNING AV FILMEN "THE WALL" . BÅDE DOKUMENTÄR BITEN,NÄR ROGER BESÖKTE SIN FARS GRAV....OCH ANDRA PLATSER VAR SUPERBRA.....MEN,DET GRYMMASTE VAR JU KONSERTERNA !!! JAG LÄNGTAR TILL ATT FÅ VARA PÅ MIN FÖRSTA ROGER WATERS KONSERT - APRIL 2023

He tenido la ocasión de hacerme con esta pequeña joya por solo 5€. Y oye.., fenomenal!. Pude ver a Waters en directo en Madrid en 2018 y disfrutar del despliegue de medios durante un pedazo de concierto del copón, que tentado estuve de volver a comprarme la entrada y volver al día siguiente. Pues, esto.., "El muro" va mucho más allá, e incluso visto en la pantalla de la TV, alucinas. Y.., vamos por partes.DISCO1El concierto grabado escogiendo tomas realizadas en Buenos Aires y en Grecia (Estas últimas grabadas a puerta cerrada. Lo podéis ver en los Time lapse incluidos en los extras del segundo disco)Siendo, bajo mi opinión "El muro" el disco de los Floyd de su época "monumental" uno de los discos más sobrevalorados de la banda, esta puesta en escena moderna, se limpia de las partes aburridas del disco (Que son demasiadas) Y es que este disco, está hecho para ser tocado en directo con un despliegue de medios de este calibre (Y no el que tenían en la puesta en escena de 1980)Los capítulos del concierto se solapan con una especie de cortometraje reflexivo de la obsesión malsana que tiene Waters con la muerte de su padre y que al final acabó siendo una rémora que dio fin a su permanencia en el grupo. Wright, Mason y Gilmour se pillaron las de Villadiego y dejaron que Waters se siguiera revolcando en sus miserias.El cortometraje, se solapa como digo con las actuaciones en directo con bastante acierto, pero creo que hubiera sido más práctico incluir también el concierto íntegro sin las parras de Waters, y poner también estas por separado, de modo y manera que si quisieras ver solo el concierto, no tuvieras que ir saltando capítulos.He de decir que el cortometraje, aunque bien realizado, me parece bastante infumable, (Digo cortometraje, porque parece mucho más una película / dramón / experimental que un documental. Ya que no es un documental al uso, sino una suerte de road-movie de cine independiente de esas que llevas al Festival Sundance. Así que.., prescindible.DISCO 21. Una visita a Frank Thompson - Cortometraje de la visita al monumento a este soldado caído (Waters a lo suyo)2. Time Lapse - De la construcción de los escenarios en Grecia y en Buenos Aires3. Dos temas en directo en el O2 con Gilmour interpretando Comfortably Numb y con Mason agitando una pandereta (Da la impresión de ser un jubilado incómodo en un sitio en el que no quiere estar)4. Tomas descartadas del cortometraje de Waters5. Peliculas de Facebook - Publicaciones que se fueron haciendo en facebook a lo largo de la gira (Hay un montón y algunas son realmente interesantes)La nota negativa: Se incluyen subtítulos en castellano pero solo durante los capítulos del cortometraje. Durante el concierto se desactivan (Mojón, pero mojón, mojón) Sin embargo,s i que puedes activar los subtítulos en Ingles durante todo el metraje (Cortometraje y concierto).Bueno, que por 5 miserables euros no voy a poner pegas.
