Roger Waters - Amused To Death

Roger Waters - Newport Folk Festival July 24, 2015. Filmed in HD 1080p, in the rain, whilst trying to protect my camera from the deluge so forgive the shaky stuff!

Probably the best lyric writer I've ever heard. Can't think of anyone else that can write sarcasm, cynicism, comedy, and beauty the way Waters can.

This album is my favorite thing that ANY one in the PF camp has done since Roger left the band. Sadly, it becomes more and more prophetic as time passes.

Amused to Death is the greatest album ever written! Roger's music will live till the end of time ❤

[tonyross]

In the top 5 albums of all times. Masterpiece on so many fronts.

The sentiment of this song seems perfectly echoed by the selfy taking couple in the background. They seemed oblivious to the fact they are in the presence of brilliance. I may be wrong...just seems that way..ATD...one of the greatest albums ever. A musical masterpiece and a lesson rolled into one.👍👍👍

I found this album way back when it first came out and put it in my cd player. I never realized how many times I had listened to it day after day until I realized it had been in my cd player for over a year. I literally listened to this cd every single day for OVER A YEAR! Only time I've ever done that!!

A shame he never toured behind this masterpiece. ATD would be remembered with the same reverence as The Wall or DSOTM if it had the Pink Floyd name. Perhaps Roger's greatest work. I remember playing it for my girlfriend and Watching TV brought her tears.

The climax of this song always make want to cry, it's one of those beautiful things in life that makes you keep fighting and embrace life itself, it's a cry, a warrior's cry

[garylester]

The tuning up at the start made me smile and think 'I bet he misses Rick doing that for him..'

Here we are March 2020 sitting at home and watching RW the last 20 years I’ve listened this song to death and still now I get a shiver down my spine as of it’s the first time.

So much to say in this great song ; basically in just 2 chords, and few bridges .
Amazing genius .

[hazycosmicjive]

Thank you for capturing this incredible performance. Wish a few Amused to Death tunes were on the Us & Them setlist

Trained around Mt Hood Gov Camp) for a marathon. The only tape for my walkman was ATD I listened to it over and over and over and its still playing in my head to this day. That and the baby shark song.

[AlanOnBass]

I love the studio original, but this is a phenomenol interpretation. Love the steel guitar. Beautiful touch!

[vinylunboxing]

such an amazing version of this masterpiece!

[DaveInBridport]

Such a great album. possibly my fave ever

[Kataleptyk]

All members of Pink Floyd are excellent musicians, but Roger Waters is a true musical genius, perfect in what he does in every inch.

[magedselim]

The genius predicted in 1992 when he wrote and played amused to death how eventually our generation and our kids waste life's sitting in front of phone, games and social media. I'd not be surprised when later on we find out that aliens mention that those humans or species as they'd say have amused themselves to death . True Genius, love ya old man

Waters is always writing lyrics before their time. See Home on the Radio KAOS album, "Will you accept your second class status
A nation of waitresses and waiters
Will you mix their martinis
Will you stand still for it
Or will you take to the hills"
