I've still never heard this, but always been curious about it. Still would love to see what a Roger "The Wall" musical would be like. I remember first hearing about that in 2004. Will it ever happen?
Hey, I just mentioned that the other day!

By 2010, he'd already rewritten it four times. It will apparently include songs from Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, and other albums, so hopefully David is exercising his power of veto.
I've just looked through this thread and realised that I had not posted here before !
I find Ça Ira to be a painful listen, the music on the 3 disc 'English' version is stunningly presented in SACD and the performance envelops the listener but leaves me frustrated as I strain to listen, interpret and understand. I also have the 2 disc 'French' version and although it is only regular CD I find this is easier to enjoy as there is no chance that I can understand the words (I am a Brit and speak English).
For real completists there's a 'Solicitation Video' issued by Sony BMG with some of the back story by Roger and some manuscript images.
