Being a huge fan of 'The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking' (and well aware that it was a visually oriented performance on par with 'The Wall' concerts), I salivated as I put this tape in. "Cool, the menacing orb from the 'Welcome to the Machine' intro, I ho- ... oh wait, the camera just panned down to the stage. I think that orangish blur is Waters. Who the hell is that other blur? Is that Stapley or Andy? Yeesh, this is cruddy. I hope they focus on the screen instead, especially for the 'Pros And Cons' set ..."

Two hours later, I lay in a fetal position, weeping. The camera is high up and on the right of the stage looking down, and for the duration of the video, you're looking at usually indistinct blobs roaming around the stage. Never the screen ... and what went on Mr. Sheet during the 'Pros And Cons' set was always infinitely more interesting than anything anyone onstage was doing. So, no Mr. Sheet, the "Brain Damage/Eclipse" encore is cut, and you get to hear Roger's head-scratchingly bizarre soul singer imitation ("shoowop shoowop"?!?!?). The only high point here (if you can call it that) is when the camera turns to an orange blob with a saxophone (Mel Collins) on its' back ... getting ready to wail away, but apparently the microphone doesn't want to work. So, Mel sits there in eager anticipation, only to be utterly disappointed.

I know exactly how he feels.
