Roger Waters/CA,USA 10.9.2016

Roger Waters excited the world in 2016 with the huge spectacle “PINK FLOYD Greatest Hits”. Among them, a special live album that will be “one of the best and longest” is now available. This work contains the “Desert Trip performance on October 9, 2016”. This is the first week of the century’s mega festival, which he performed twice. From the perspective of rock history, this work is a superb record of a historic event, but more than that, it is a work that has great meaning from Roger’s side. Before introducing its meaning, let’s first organize Roger’s recent activities. [2016] September 28th: ​​Mexico City “FORO SOL 2016 1ST NIGHT” ★ September 29th: Mexico City “FORO SOL 2016 2ND NIGHT” ★ October 1st: Mexico City ★ October 9th: Coachella [This work] October 16th: Coachella “DESERT TRIP 2016 WEEKEND 2″ October 22nd: Mountain View (only 7 songs) October 23rd: Mountain View (only 7 songs) (★ indicates the longest concert) [2017] May 26th – October 28th: ​​”US+THEM” North American tour (43 performances) The above is an overview of the live activities that have been announced so far. Although they have resumed big production shows since “THE WALL LIVE 2010-2013”, the full-scale tour “US+THEM” will not be held until after May 2017. There were only seven performances in 2016, of which the two in Mountain View were mini shows with only seven songs for the “BRIDGE SCHOOL BENEFIT 2016” appearance. In other words, the only big full shows were the five in Mexico and Coachella. In our shop, we report on the best records of these five performances except for the third day in Mexico in a superb live album. This week, the best record of the mega festival will be completed with the press 3CD “DESERT TRIP 2016 WEEKEND 2 (Sigma 171)” and this work. Furthermore, there are differences between these five performances. There is no “Pigs On The Wing 1” on the first day, “September 28th Mexico”, and there is no “Pigs On The Wing 1 & 2” on the fifth performance, “October 16th Coachella Day 2”. In other words, the longest concert will be the three performances of “September 28th & 29th Mexico” and “October 9th Coachella Day 1”. It is not clear what will happen to “US+THEM” next year, but Roger himself seems to be planning to play from the new work he is currently working on, so it is likely that these three performances will be the only ones that are purely filled with “FLOYD Greatest Hits” and are the longest. Sorry for the long explanation of the situation. What I want to say is that this is the best live album of the “longest greatest hits”… This is the true identity of this work. Of the three longest concerts, this work has the best sound quality. The person who recorded this work is a recording artist who became a hot topic at “DESERT TRIP 2016”, and he has been making a series of masterpieces with various artists from the first week of the mega festival, such as Bob Dylan’s “COACHELLA 2016 DESERT TRIP 1ST WEEKEND”, Neil Young’s “COACHELLA 2016 DESERT TRIP”, Paul McCartney’s “DESERT TRIP 2016 WEEKEND 1: NEW MASTER”, and even THE WHO’s “COACHELLA 2016 DESERT TRIP 1ST WEEKEND” (it would be perfect if the Stones also appeared). This work also fully demonstrates the power of the “reliable brand”. Although it is not half a step behind the 3CD “DESERT TRIP 2016 WEEKEND 2” on the second day of Coachella, it is still an unusually high quality sound, with a thick core, rich sound, and fine details that make it worthy of being called “like a sound board”. The breathtaking FLOYD sound reaches straight through the clear and transparent air. This “breathtaking” is also a big point. We also reported on Mexico’s longest performance “FORO SOL 2016 2ND NIGHT”, where the Latino audience who witnessed the huge spectacle were in full swing. It was a good album to get excited as one of the audience, but it was a bit too noisy to concentrate on FLOYD music and immerse yourself in it with all your heart. In contrast, this work, which is an American megafestival, has the excitement filling the vast venue recorded like a small SE, and the historical on-site sense is conveyed in the dimension of “beauty”. Anyway, “PINK FLOYD Greatest Hits” can be enjoyed with a special beautiful sound. It is one of the best with excellent sound quality among the longest concert records with only three performances.
