It really wasn’t the money that bothered me, I bought the CD version @ only $14.95. I figured if I liked it, I would also buy the vinyl version. I’m glad I waited. My main irritation is the keyboards/synth seem to be further back on the mix. On "Welcone To The Machine", the keyboards/Synth should be up front and personal as that is really what MAKES the song.
I also did not care for the main vocalist, it seemed like he was trying too hard. The guitar solo on "Time" was quite lacking, and that is one of PF best guitar solo’s. The record "Roger Waters, The Wall" had much better keyboards, guitar riffs and vocals with Rogers band, what happened here?
Because I pre-ordered this, I got the concert DVD as well . All I will say is the song "Pigs" was quite amusing as the video in the background truly showed Roger Waters disdain for DT. The huge inflatable pig that was hovering above everyones head had DT’s face on it, Too funny and quite fitting. I enjoyed the DVD much more as the visuals added to the music and made the music more tolerable.
I will end this long windedness by saying, I have everything by Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright. I have many multiple copies of each as I have all the remasters, box sets and everything they have put out since 1967. I also have a first and original mono pressing of "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn". After all, PF still is my absolute favorite group.
