Re: The Wall live

Back in 1990, I stayed up to listen to and record the live broadcast of "The Wall Live from Berlin." It was mostly good, except for the always-annoying Cyndi Lauper, and I wasn't crazy about the backing vocals and some of the instrumentation (goddam accordians). Snowy did a good job imitating Dave...Bryan Adams was great on "Young Lust". They had about a 45 minute delay in the middle of Goodbye Blue Sky because of a power failure. But overall, it's my least favorite version.

I love the ITAOT live version. There is enough variation from the studio version to make it fun to listen to. The guitar parts are all way better, IMHO. Like on Mother, the accoustic guitar really jumps out at you where on the studio version they are hardly noticable. And I like Roger stoking up the crowd at the beginning of Run Like Hell. I just think it is by far the best version.
