The Roger Waters 'lip syncing' theory possible solution.

Post by spainboy »

There has been a lot of debate as to whether RW has been lip syncing on his Wall tour considering how different his voice has sounded since the mid 80's so has anyone with a 'good ear' looked at various Youtube videos of a particular hard song from different Wall venues (a song that perhaps has a few high notes in) on his current tour and compared them? If he is singing live then he is not gonna sing the same song EXACTLY the same on each venue he is at.
Im guessing this is the only real way this argument could be put to bed.

There are a good few existing threads about this for you to browse through. He uses some vocal help here and there in the form of recordings but not too much. It is best to use some vocal help rather than listen to an old man murder a good tune! :shock:

I was at the concert, Feb 1, Brisbane Entertainment Centre - 6th row & centre.
Bloody fantastic and virtually flawless show, on par with his 2007 dsotm tour where I sat in the same seat at the same venue.
He does do a "duet" with an old recording of himself performing "Mother" - which he introduces as not only a duet, but also as a rather perceivably narcissistic moment... But asides from this wonderfully unexpected nostalgic twist, myself and my concert going companions saw absolutely no hints whatsoever that Roger Waters was doing a Britney.
I prefer to trust in his talent and would never speculate about him actually lip-syncing... Had not even thought once about it until I came across this thread.
Have faith in the Floyd!
