Roger Waters is the only male rock artist I know that permits males to have feelings other than just anger. His music is heavy with forlorn, which at times can be a bit overwhelming, but with poignant lyrics and rich melodies (often in a minor key), his performances are actually spiritually uplifting. I've already discussed what I think of Roger's departure from Pink Floyd. Sure, at this concert I missed David Gilmour's haunting voice and guitar style, but Roger Waters and his band (including Andy Fairweather-Low on guitar) cover the traditional Pink Floyd tunes as great as Pink Floyd does. Of course, one could argue they cover them better than Pink Floyd does. Roger certainly wrote most of them, so they are a necessary part of any Roger Waters concert. I only wish he would have covered more of his solo material, even, if need be, at the expense of some of the traditional Pink Floyd tunes. I at least wanted to hear Watching T.V. and The Bravery of Being Out of Range from the Amused to Death (1992) album. Of course, I also wanted to hear the rest of Animals (Pink Floyd, 1977), and Hey You and Nobody Home from The Wall (Pink Floyd, 1979). This only proves that even after playing for 3 solid hours !! , he leaves you hungry for more! One thing is for sure, Perfect Sense from Amused to Death (1992) was the highlight of the show. There is something particularly eerie and spiritually uplifting about a theatre full of people singing a sarcastic "national anthem" of economic moral justification while, on an above-stage screen, sighting through a submarine's periscope as it blows up an oil rig, complete with a play-by-play from Marv Albert. And if you don't get the irony, that's your problem.
