In the Flesh was partly recorded at a Las Vegas concert, but these songs lack even a hint of theater or showmanship. Fans may enjoy the adequate live takes on excerpts from Animals and Wish You Were Here. At worst, though, this is a Pink Floyd cover band featuring the original bass player. This becomes especially clear during what should be David Gilmour's vocal on "Comfortably Numb," at which point the song's sentiment becomes all too accurate. Yawn. (RS 862)
