Faces of Death

1978

★★★★ Liked Watched

The Possessed

1965

Roger Waters: This Is Not a Drill — Live from Prague

2023

★★★★★ Liked Watched

What an incredible performance. Every moment is pure emotion from Roger and his band, who sounded great.

My favourite moments (no particular order):
- Have A Cigar
- Sheep
- DSOTM Side 2 Medley

- In The Flesh
- The Bar/Outside the Wall

Sadly I live…
