The overall production quality of this DVD easily rates ten stars. There is really no need to go into great detail other than to say that the 5.1 surround mix sounds astonishing, in both DTS and Dolby format, and the video quality was so clear and vivid, it made my regular TV look like high definition. The camera work and direction were on par with the audio/video quality. The director really gave you a good feel for the whole stage show, yet never missed capturinga significant solo, or other key moment, with a well shot close-up. There wereno frantic camera angle changes or silly special effects, and this made you feellike you were one with the audience. All DVD concerts should be of this quality.

It seems apparent that Waters was making a statement to the fans, with this tour, and to David Gilmour in particular. I WAS PINK FLOYD! Take your inflatable flying pigs, 20,000 lasers, and 15-piece backing band and try to top this Gilmour! With In the Flesh Live, Roger Waters has certainly made a strong case that he was truly the heart and soul of Pink Floyd.

There's a piece of Pink Floyd media that I don't own? Must... go... buy.
