RE: SCOOP! DAVID GILMOUR & ROGER WATERS PERFORM TOGETHER!!!!!
I'm a big fan of Roger as a writer/arranger, not necessarily as a singer. When it comes to the vocals, I'd pick David every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I mean, the one song that David has done during his solo shows that Roger sang the majority of is SOYCD and he sings it about 10x better than Roger did.


However, whoever is in the audience for the show David appears in for Comfortably Numb better bootleg that performance!

I just finished watching it, did anyone else think that ABITW was better than the studio?

I hate it 1% less than I did before, if that means anything.

I think that story has two sides. David's voice is so different from Roger's that I myself find it hard to pick a favorite. Aesthetically, Roger's voice is useless trash while David's is nearly perfect. But Roger's voice can put way more emotion into a song. Just listen to The Gunner's Dream, for example. I'd probably delete that song from my computer if it was sung by David.

I agree about Roger's voice putting emotion into a song -- I doubt David could have sung Sheep or Pigs in the same ferociousness that Roger did.

That being said however, I would rather listen to songs that David sang, no matter how much I do like the songs Roger sang.

I love David's voice, always have. I can listen do him sing all day and enjoy it. But, I can only take Roger in small doses.........

A Song like Sheep only Roger can sing, and I do like it.

Hey You, Dogs, Mother, CN, are songs that work well because of their different sounding voices.

There's Comfortably Numb. Frankly, they could have done just that song and I would have been more than satisfied.

Emotionally Roger's voice was fantastic as a younger man, it just hasn't aged as nicely as David's. I prefer David's voice, yes, but the points made about certain songs I agree with completely. In his prime Roger's voice was so singularly spectacular it was chilling and the balance between that, David's and Rick's was beautifully balanced.

And now the final solution can be applied.

I think I've said this before, but anyway; it's not that Roger's singing is more emotional, but rather their voices carry different kinds of emotions.
David can't spit venom and Roger can't sound soothing, David can't whinge and Roger can't rock.
As in everything else, their voices and singing styles complemented each other and enhanced the songs.
