It's nothing short of remarkable that Roger Waters has built a successful career on obsessive ruminations on alienation, megalomania, and guilty fame, largely on the backs of one of history's most long-lived arena acts. The musical legacy Waters has shared with "another band" (as he sharply refers to his former Pink Floyd mates in this collection's self-penned liner notes) has served two distinctly different functions: part and parcel of the latter's nostalgia act; autobiographical foundation for the former's ongoing, if decidedly egocentric, Rage at the World. That's essentially the rationale this live collection uses to lean heavily on Waters's Pink prime, from Dark Side of the Moon through The Final Cut. And if that frame sometimes overshadows the images of Waters's solo work--well, no one said he wasn't a pragmatic entertainer. Still, his cynical eye insures the juxtapositions work well; the Falkland-conflicted Britain of The Final Cut's "Get Your Filthy Hands off My Desert" and "Southampton Dock" is neatly bookended by Amused to Death's "Bravery of Being out of Range." There's a telling musical contrast with Floyd here, too, and it's one that goes beyond the album's stellar recording techniques. Waters's ensemble breathes new life into even the coldest of the Floydian dirges, while giving the hoary psychedelic romp "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" a welcome R&B groove. Waters concludes by offering up the previously unrecorded "Each Small Candle"--and an equally unexpected ray of hope. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:
the worst sounding sacd in the world-ever.......2006-01-20
Buy the DVD, also.......2004-10-21
Do yourself a favor and by the DVD instead.......2003-06-29
great music, great performance, bad milti-channle mix.......2003-04-27
I had been waiting a while for a surround sound Pink Floyd CD and I bought an SACD player just so I could listen to the new AMAZING Dark Side Of The Moon. While I was on this kick, I decided to buy Roger Waters' live solo album In The Flesh. I was a little worried at first, because this is Roger Waters and not PINK FLOYD, even though Roger was part of Floyd in a BIG way. But I decided to give it a chance. Also, there are a good amount of Floyd songs on here that I hadn't heard performed live by the original Pink Floyd, so I thought this would be the next best thing.
And it IS. I thought the old Floyd stuff was done very well. I don't really care for the Waters solo stuff too much but the Floyd stuff is great. The only problem with this SACD is the surround sound mix. About 80% of the audio comes from the left and right speakers, leaving the rear speakers for audience cheering, sound effecs, and once in a while, an instrument or two. As far as I could tell, the center speaker was not used at all, and the sub woofer was used at a minimum. No instruments came from the woofer, just a slight rumble of effects. THIS MIX LACKS BASS! When i listen to it, it's like the audio is coming from 4 transistor radios, and not an 80 watt surround sound system. The strangest thing of all is that this mix was done by James Guthrie, who mixed the Dark Side Of The Moon SACD. DSOTM sounds AMAZING. It is probably the best sounding SACD/DVD-Audio that I have ever heard. In The Flesh sounds like .... I can harldy believe that the same man mixed both albums.
In my opinion, (and I'm sure there will be many who disagree) an SACD isn't worth your time (to locate, they are not popular yet) or money unless they are multichannel. I paid $$$ for this when I could have gotten the regular CD version for $$$, would be able to play it in ANY cd player, AND would be able to adjust eq. The CD version would cost less money AND sound better.
Oh Roger...Roger,what did we do?.......2002-12-29
in almost every album he's ever done.He cannot stand
the rudimentary level of consciuousness that
most of society operates under.He has been
pointing out the pigs to anyone who will listen
and waitng for the rest of the world to wake up.
I praise him for that,but he belongs with Pink-
Floyd.This CD shines when it covers Rogers solo
numbers,but I cringed when I heard the classics.
It becomes clear(as if it werent already)who the
music was in Pink Floyd and who was the words.If
you're a true Floyd fan you probably won't care for
it.SACD,though,is mind blowing.Wow,so much more
resolution in the recording,I was smoked!! It's like
being in the studio.Crystal clear sound that is just
dripping with power.I can't even listen to 44.1khz now!
This format retains the power and warmth of analog and
the clean sound of digital.SACD is capable of over100khz
frequency response and a sensitivity of 120db over the entire
listening range.You've never heard anything like it and it
will change you in ways you can't imagine.You will be able to
feel the music,perceive it as you do in a live show,mind blowing! you will need a SACD player,the one I got is the
SONY DVP-NS755V.It can play any CD(SACD,CD,CDR/RW,Data,Video)
as well as DVD's.Amazon.com didn't have it yet so I ordered from [a local store].It was at my door 4 days after ordering.....Hooked up to my Yamaha HTR5540 and
my stereo is no longer being used.ABT is an awesome company if
you're wondering.In fact there arent very many companies like
them left anymore.
