Awesome. So glad Roger decided to release these sessions. Truly sublime.
Like many fans, I watched these during lockdown. Considering all the musicians are linked up on line the performances are wonderful. Roger brings a wonderful sense of atmosphere to these well loved tracks and the female backing singers are just out of this world. The musicianship from the rest of the crew is beyond reproach, the drums in particular are beautifully played.The vinyl pressing is a bit bass heavy and shut in, and improved dramatically with a clean on the project vc-s, but the sessions are so good you just bask in the brilliance of it all. 'The bravery of being out of range' is my favorite rendition yet, and Roger's slowed interptretation of 'comfortably numb' is just sublime, showing how good this song really is.Bravo Mr Waters. These sessions are treasure and one of the best things to come out of lockdown. A must for any Floyd/Roger fan and thank you Mr Waters and crew for recording them and releasing them.

Quality music, but oh, the noise!
The music on this album appeared on streaming platforms ages ago, so most people should have been aware of what the (mini) album contained before they bought it. Everyone had chance to hear the music, so it's probably best to ignore those who are complaining about it just being reworked old Floyd songs. I personally like the new, sparse arrangements, it's like seeing old friends in new settings. Full marks for the music then. The reason for the so-so review is the quality of the vinyl. It had some warpage when it arrived, and was very dusty requiring a dry, followed by a wet clean before I even put it on the turntable. The surface noise is horrendous, and spoils the many quite passages and spoken sections. Pops and clicks are audible everywhere, and I suppose I really ought to send it back for a replacement, but reading other reviews elsewhere it seems to be present throughout this pressing. Come on Sony/Legacy, we're paying top dollar for premium product - don't short-change us!

Loved it on Spotify even better on vinyl
Rodger Waters has done a great job of reworking these already brilliant songs

Great value for money
It is good to finally have a CD of this, so I can play it on my stereo (better than a download)

encores collection from us+them tour
fantastic little album of the lockdown version of the encores from the previous us and them tour with the added bonus of the new 2022 version of comfortably numb added to end the album overall for the price and its worth it for a nice little new official edition cd to the collection.
