Money was probably the best performance-wise, as I think it may have been superior to the studio version; Gimlour's (superior to studio) solo is most likely the reason. The dedication of WYWH was nice, and Gilmour seemed to sound more like his old self again(same goes for Comfortably Numb), though Waters sounded very ****ing old. Still, their performance of it was overall great. Comfortably Numb was excellent, and my only complaint was that the back-up singers got kind of annoying during the chorus. I don't think Gilmour's solo was better than the studio version, unlike Money, but it was still (obviously) awesome. Instrumentally the band sounded top-notch. I should also mention that I didn't catch it on MTV; one of my local rock stations played the set a few hours after they performed it, so I can't comment on the interuptions |
I thought the performance was great, and it seems like outside of the guitar solos you didn't like it. Also, I find it interesting that how a guitar solo is performed can make or break a song for you. I thought everythig was really good. I thought Roger's voice sounded fresh and I don't understand where you thought it sounded old? It was a little off for Wish You Were Here but that's to be expected as he was trying to match Gilmour's style and the two voices are really different. On Comfortably Numb where he was singing his own parts he sounded great. Also, I think you're a little harsh on the back up singer. Except for her appearing on the camera from time to time I hardly noticed her, and I felt like her contribution did nothing to detract from the song. Also, I think all of the solo's were good because I just enjoy watching them play them in person. David has a lot of soul.
