I may be primitive and biased, but, all things considered, this film strikes me as a pile of crap served on a plate of Swarowski crystal studded with diamonds. And, as Bombolo used to say, "it's still crap".

Magnificent review that stimulates all the senses and brings back truly magical, certainly timeless, atmospheres. I’m not familiar with the album (I only know a few tracks from "Viaggio" and some of the work done with Tofani), but I trust it.

A monument! It's amazing to find so many "scraps" of luxury and even better alternative versions than those released on record (I'm thinking particularly of "Born in The U.S.A."). And then the thought of "The River" as a triple album and the 250 unreleased tracks attributed to the Boss made my mouth water too.

It also seems to me like a good summary to get to know a talented artist who, in my opinion, has lost her way. It made me nostalgic for the MTV that used to broadcast concerts.

It seems very interesting, both for its form (contamination of genres) and for its content (it doesn’t seem to me that many jazz artists explicitly tackle social themes). At least a careful listen (and probably even more, to catch its nuances), in my opinion, is warranted.

Roger Waters In The Flesh

Reading the setlist, I get the impression that this live performance is complementary to "Pulse," featuring albums and tracks overlooked by the other three because they are too "Watersian" ("Animals" and Roger's ego trip "The Final Cut" among the albums, and "Mother" and "Welcome to the Machine" among the tracks); for this reason, I would say that "In the Flesh" is a must-have in the collection of any self-respecting Floyd fan. I also fear I will be disappointed by "Shine" and "C. Numb," due to the perfection of the originals. The only flaw is that both Roger and David & Co. almost entirely skip their pre-Dark Side production (Roger has always stated that he doesn’t really identify with that work).

As always, a perfect review. I haven't seen the film, but it attracts me. I believe it's impossible to portray the Italian political class without hitting the keys of caricature and the grotesque.

I quote Repartoamena. I also love wandering through stalls, and this review-editorial gave me intense feelings. Moreover, as a boy, I collected stamps. By coincidence, I started reading a piece by Che on guerrilla warfare, in a translation by Adele Faccio (the member of the Radical Party), Oscar Mondadori, 1967 edition (which I found in the cellar of my old house and saved from being discarded). Given the times we're living in, it might come in handy.
