Roger Waters - Fletcher Memorial Home (With prerecorded vocals)

[@RedDevil0902]

Probably Pink Floyd’s most underrated album but to me one of their best, love every song on it

[@nicdivers]

For me, even better than the wall

[@massimozanella3294]

Ho sempre sentito critici musicali dire che i Floyd erano più indicati a esternare un tipo di musica più intima, per l'anima e che le grandi tematiche politico-sociali era meglio che le lasciassero perdere...a parte che come tè amo ogni singolo pezzo di Final Cut,mi sembra una critica insulsa come quando dicevano ai Beatles che era meglio quando facevano canzonette per teenager.

[@nicdivers]

The final cut : for me the Best album of pink floyd

[@moetimski9767]

For us that love them this might be the best unfortunately this was the final cut literally

[@Ombometrico]

Final cut is the best album of all time.

[@alwantamalus3709]

For me Roger Waters is ranked in his own category: High level Rockn'roll. There is no other artist in this category.

[@renoesmaeilian9489]

First Pink Floyd album I bought was this masterpiece. Been listening to it for more than 40 years and it still sounds amazing.

[@markgradwell4987]

"Colonial Wasters Of Life And Limb" Brilliant Description

[@agolzad]

Roger Waters is the benchmark. Everyone needs to be compared to him. He's above and beyond everything ❤

[@jasonmejia2315]

Even though David had already checked out at this point, I'm so thankful that he didn't "phone it in" on his guitar contributions. His solos on this album are top notch.

[@mrlegend800]

Mr Waters will not always be around . So anything with him is a true honor ! The one and only ROGER WATERS = Vision and Calling - Never been duplicated or matched

[@Fretless99]

Nicely said, Tony. He is a brilliant man, a great songwriter, and a hell of a bassist, as well!

[@sleepalaska]

Fretless99 agreed, sometimes I wonder what the floyd would have been like if his ego wouldn't have erupted

[@mrlegend800]

Fretless 99, what they achieved,created and gave has never ever been reached since or will ever be reached again. So e now know when something of that MAGNITUDE is reached , it must fall to be appreciated to the depth that the FLOYD IS APPRECIATED , RECEIVED AND UNDERSTOOD !! No need to know which one IS PINK lol or wink wink :)

[@guillermomartinlasheras2325]

Fantastic. "The final cut" was the first album, or rather the first cassette of Pink Floyd that I bought for myself in that 1983 of the Malvinas post-war... or Falklands. I was 15 years old then. I bought it after listening to only one song on the radio. The impact he had on me was tremendous. I cried when listening to this song even understanding very little of what the lyrics said because my English was not very good then. I did it because the music moved me. Over the years I became a musician, which means, among other things, a perpetual student of music. I mention this because it is easy to get lost in the deep emotionality and poetic strength of the Pink Floyd lyrics and the vocal performance of Roger Waters. But in addition to the content, which is particularly emotive for Argentines as well as for the British of this song, the technical and musical resources of this and the whole album are many more than high. I could dissect and analyze the harmony and the melody but it would only be something distracting. The most important thing is to understand that the effect that caused me, like many other people, is the result of a kind of superpower that some musicians have. The perfect combination of technical and expressive resources. Even today it moves me. 35 years later. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@DudeSilad]

It evokes the same emotions in me as they do for you. From my perspective it was the Thatcher government which was closing down the UK industries leaving mass unemployment. A true masterpiece of an album.

[@mikem6678]

Do I know you? Sounds like my story!

[@blootoofblue6951]

Great write up there Guillermo

[@IvanTheReasonable]

I worked in the psychiatric sector when Thatcher sent her professional killers to deal with the junta’s conscripts on the Malvinas. The jingoism in the UK was horrendous. It taught me that the world is insane and I left psychiatry.

[@DJDanceClassic]

lol , what a bullshit story. so you bought the final cut and cried to every song. lol , I can see you crying when listening to ' WHERE IS THE FUCKING BAR JOHN ' HAHAHAHA !!!!!!

[@Michael_-qy4fu]

This is one of my favourite songs ever, from one of my favourite albums ever, from the greatest band ever.

[@silvanorossi6416]

I hope Roger will do a Tour of this album. A masterpiece that is underappreciated. His live performance was epic

[@andreavila6610]

My favorite Floyd song. So much power in the vocals.

[@gabpinto5633]

Genius sheer genius. Thanks Roger Waters. At 12 yrs old your music changed my life.

[@mikem6678]

The person who posted enjoyed calling out that Waters was using a background track... The fact that an audience got to sit in a room with Roger and see him sing it, pay tribute to the song, with his band playing behind him is AMAZING!!!!

[@frippster]

Except he calls his shows live

[@derekpascal3749]

The mightiest sample of human expressions. Every song composed is ever-fresh. Meticulously crafted, flawlessly performed. To live on the same earth, during the same era is a gift beyond my deepest hope. The luckiest humans are the incurable addicts of Roger Waters.

[@tff1293]

Final Cut is the most underrated album of all time.

[@DaPeanutButter]

A Momentary Lapse of Reason is pretty underrated too

[@scottnyc6572]

This song couldn’t be more relevant and apropos today.Such an excellent performance!!!

[@SpTh2]

He mentions that during that performance he was dealing with laryngitis (I think). Also, his manager has admitted that they do use pre recorded vocals because his health has to go first.

[@Youtube.Commen-tater]

I like the juxtaposition of his strained raspiness and intense vocal melody at 1:42

[@damianofonti]

L'album The final cut me lo sono ascoltato quanto tutti gli album dei Pink Floyd messi insieme piu' un altro migliaio di volte, infatti sono diventato intollerante verso ogni spazzatura musicale, dopo certi capolavori e' difficile ascoltare altra roba.

[@napomania]

È vero ciò che dici, specie quando arrivi a un'età matura. Io i dischi che ho ascoltato di piu sono Umma Gumma, the Final cut, e poi tutti gli altri alla pari.

Roger Waters has given to Music more than anyone. He is a genius and a brilliant talent.

Everyone should hear this album no matter what music you are into. Unreal

[@catsven1973]

wow....ROger!!!! wow...after 30 years of the first listening...you can still tear my eyes! one day I will say...once upon a time...Roger!!!!!!!!! and than no one alike....

[@gdkopinionator4356]

"The Final Cut" is such a difficult album to address critically. It fails to support a coherent narrative, but has moments of utter beauty. "Fletcher Memorial Home" is one of those moments of beauty. It's brilliantly conceived lyric and orchestration are made all the more majestic by the raw power of Waters' vocal and Gilmour's instrumental performances. They both get a chance to standout as performers on this piece. Some lyrics need Waters' unsettling vocals; this is one of them. Then, we are treated to David Gilmour unleashing his unspoken rage on the guitar. Perhaps this was a case of tension between two artists creating a truly great work of art. The performance is nice to see, though the BHB guitarist falls far short of David Gilmour. Waters typically treats the guitar solo with great reverence to Gilmour, by having his guitarist play it note for note, but it's not enough. Though well executed, the solo is cold and clearly uninhabited with the underlying passion of Gilmour's pent-up emotion. No one writes this kind of piece like Roger Waters, but it falls short without its featured soloist. Unfortunately, despite their personal reconciliation, the two cannot work as a creative unit anymore. Some of Gilmour's best work came out of great tension between he and Waters. It was brilliant, but not sustainable.

[@barthchris1]

Spot on. Couldn't have said it better myself!

[@porksoda1062]

GDK Opinionator I think the Final Cut is one of their best albums. Animals, Darkside of the moon, The Wall are the most talked about but the Final Cut is an underrated album IMO.

[@InteleVision-Vic]

Correct, but unnecessary.

[@andrewmounce8260]

The Final Cut is everything he couldn’t couldn’t put in the wall album. I believe by then it was too late for the band and they were just going through the motions but honestly Roger was the only one who had anything really to say so he was the one writing that Richard was treated like a second-class citizen in the band and he even used to tune Rogers bass before gigs.

[@andrewmanson9679]

That guitarist is Snowy White

[@emptyspaces7740]

never more will be another genius like Roger Waters. With such a peace ´message both, lyrical and melody combination. Deserves Nobel Prize of Peace and Literature. I´ll named (indicate) Him for that.

[@Ateamcaptain]

If you listen with headphones you can hear in one ear the pre-recorded vocal and in the other the "live" vocal. He more or less just whispers rather than sings and meanwhile out front the audience hears the pre-recorded vocal with all the right pitches.

[@nicomarulo2611]

What a MASTERPIECE!!!!!!

[@dariogutierrez6902]

Tuve el privilegio de estar en la gira "The Wall"....en el estadio de River , Argentina....llenó 9 estadios....con un sonido increíble y una puesta en escena de Gran Calidad. Gran músico.

[@jolo8146]

I think rogers whisper behind the pre recorded vocals makes the song more haunting. Like the line at 2:06 , “boom boom, bang bang, lie down you’re dead” is ridiculously chilling. Hats off roger. Can’t wait to see you live in August👍

[@Zx-Gi0]

Can't wait too. I'll travel from Bolivia to México so I can see him twice! 🖤🖤🖤

[@jolo8146]

@glacier1982 He sings on his tours lmao. Plus this is his song he can preform it as he pleases. If the people dont like it they dont have to watch do they? Just like Roger said himself, "If you go to a concert & you dont like it you dont come again"☮️❤️👍🏻

[@jolo8146]

@glacier1982 Like I said who cares.

[@gwimbly519]

@glacier1982 he does use prerecorded vocals for the harder songs in his catalogue, but he still sings a few of them live. In the case of this concert it seems to me that he was having some serious throat issues because there's future performances in random streets and festivals where hes clearly singing live and he sounds much better. Look up his protest for Julian Assange for example, unlikely that he used a pre recorded track there. If you dont want to see him live because of this thats up to you, but I'm glad I was able to see him twice. Pre recorded vocals or not its much better than never getting to experience one of his shows.

He is a genius and He did what He did when he was young. Now he is old and I love him even if he use pre-recorded vocals. The only bad thing in this video is the guitar solo...Impossible for Mr. White to reproduce the pathos of Mr. Gilmour in the album track.

Have you ever heard so much angst in his vocals on When the tigers broke free? Gets me every time

[@liquidvizionsmadferit]

thank you. this is how he has sounded for ages. he could care less about what these people are thinking he is doing. Roger is just good live. and he doesn't do alot. so his voice is always ready. sure he may tour a year but then you dont hear of him for a year. that is how he can do this so amazing.

he's been singing to a track for decades now

[@marysell2465]

I agree Roger Waters is ranked in his music I think the world of him and music

[@wezzlyn]

I don't know about everyone else, but this is terribly depressing... You can tell how badly he wants to be able to sing again, and he just can't. It's like witnessing one of your heroes suffer through a real life version of one of those dreams you have when you can't yell for help.

[@CaptainPhrisbee]

This is my favorite Floyd guitar solo of all time. NOW! To the people hating on his vocals!! we listen to this music for the music, not vocals!! The feeling you get listening to Richard and David together is unbelievable. I know this is post Floyd here but you get what I'm saying! THIS IS WHAT MUSIC IS!!

You go to a live show to hear live music. I don't care about his prerecorded vocals as he was never a good singer, but it's not live and he charges people for it.

[@vascoapolonio2309]

[@nmycon]

what we are hearing the clearest is the pre-recorded track roger has lost his voice, you can hear him rasping along if you listen closely, but he is certainly not "singing" this is even more apparent in the "have a cigar" video from the same show

The power of this song as that, with each passing year, it's sentiment grows stronger, more urgent. Please institute this request so the rest of us can all sit down and have a pint together.

It is because he 'sings' with the pre-recorded singing. He also introduces the 'guests' in real time.

Respect to MR Waters for putting on what is clearly a great concert of some of the best waters era songs. However is he had learnt singing techniques correctly when he was 25 like gilmour then he would not have to make it look like he is straining to his already straining prerecorded vocal.
