Product description

CLASSIC 1985 BROADCAST RECORDING FROM THE FIRST SOLO ROGER WATERS TOUR By 1984, the classic Pink Floyd line-up was all but finished. Despite reaching No. 1 on the charts, the previous year s The Final Cut had been met with mixed reviews, and many fans saw it as a Roger Waters solo album in all but name. Having unofficially left the group, Waters took the opportunity to resurrect a previous project, The Pros & Cons Of Hitch Hiking. Featuring some of the finest session players of the day, including Ray Cooper, Andy Newmark, David Sanborn, Raphael Ravenscroft and Andy Bown, as well as Eric Clapton, Jack Palance and The National Philharmonic Orchestra, Waters released the album as his debut solo effort on 30th April 1984. The new album garnered moderate success, reaching No. 13 in the UK and 31 in the US. Waters, with Clapton in tow, hit the road to support the album just three months later. However, the tour was plagued by poor ticket sales, and some performances at larger venues had to be cancelled. Waters started over in March 1985 in the US, playing smaller locations, and these shows were met with a much greater degree of success. This two disc collection, the subject of an FM radio broadcast synced across the country, was recorded on 28th March at the Radio City Music Hall in New York. Featuring a host of Floyd classics as well as the new record in its entirety, this double CD set goes to show that Waters was just as much an exceptional performer, showman and musician when out on his own as he ever was with his old band.

ROGER WATERS : PROS & CONS OF NEW YORK (FROM A LIVE FM BROADCAST RECORDED AT RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL OF NEW YORK CITY - NY - 28TH MARCH 1985).
ROGER WATERS en très très grande forme. C'est décidément un formidable compteur d'histoires. Même si le dieu de la guitare ERIC CLAPTON n'est pas de la tournée, son remplaçant JAY STAPLEY (dont je n'ai jamais entendu parlé), n'est pas un manchot, et s'en sort plus qu'honorablement. Le son est exceptionnel! A mettre dans toutes les écoles... On est proche de la perfection!

Really good sound quality, complete concert from the 1985 Pro's and Con's Tour

Reviewed in the United States on 2 June 2018

This is the complete concert from March 28, 1985 at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. Eric Clapton was not on this leg of the tour (he was in the 1984 arena-tour band). Sound quality here is quite good – the notes say it was from an FM Radio Broadcast but it’s pretty clean, and I’d say it’s better than most concert boots. This is an import, probably owing to EU copyright loopholes. The actual performance is good, but I don’t know I’d say it’s great, though Rog covers some early Floyd material in the first set, and those tracks are worth hearing for sure. The 2nd Disc contains the entire “Pro’s and Con’s of Hitchhiking” album performance, plus encores. Overall, 29 songs – see setlist.fm for the set list. I’m rating it 5 stars because I’m a huge Roger fan and I’m happy to have this in my collection (particularly, a live performance of Pro’s and Con’s, which I love), in such good quality; I might only consider taking it down a star as some parts of the performance seem a bit less-energetic, but don’t let that stop you from getting this if you have never heard material from this tour.

Vale sicuramente il prezzo

L'ho comprato più per collezionismo che altro, ma a mio giudizio si è rivelato uno degli album live più belli prodotti dagli artisti ex-Pink Floyd. Bello! Waters non si smentisce mai.
