My Favourite Roger vocal is "The Final Cut"(the song).It is brilliant especially the last few lines "I held the blade in trembling hands,prepared
to make it .....but ,just then the phone rang,i never had the nerve to make
the final cut.
My favouite Dave Vocal is "childhoods end" great lyrics and a very good vocal, "childhoods end ,your fantasies merge with harsh realties"
As for the DAVE VS ROGER argument,i think it is a very stupid debate because anyone should be able to see,on their own they are merely good but together they were Great.

And all along I thought that I was the only one that could see that. "Toast....sausage....."

Uh... you realise I was joking, yeah?
Enjoyable track, but I don't want anyone thinking that I'm deeply moved by it.
I'd say it's a 3 way tie between Dave on Cymbaline (I love that song), Roger on 4:33 AM (Running Shoes) from PACOHH, or Roger on Run Like Hell. As much as I love Dave's job for Comfortably Numb and Wish You Were Here, for some reason Cymbaline sticks out more for me. I suppose because it's earlier on in the Pink Floyd career and they belt out a song of that quality.
I like Roger's job of Run Like Hell because I don't think anyone ever did as good a job as that time. He and Dave did okay on Is There Anybody Out There, and the version from P.U.L.S.E. was eh....I thought the other singer (refresh my memory of who it was, someone, please) had a rather grungy voice...I didn't really care for his performance of Roger's lines.
Special recognition to David for Goodbye Blue Sky as well.
Hey You from P.U.L.S.E. was rather good. I like live performances of songs usually more than studio albums, tho some times I feel that on albums some songs are so perfect that even live performances can't compare. The Wall's Hey You, Don't Leave Me Now, and In The Flesh were better than the versions on P.U.L.S.E. just because they seem a little more well performed, timed right I suppose. Every time I hear a live version of In The Flesh (?) the studio album seems better than the live albums. I suppose the live versions seem a little rushed, they have a slightly faster pace than the studio versions. It seems a little sloppy to me, but whatever.

I think 'Hey You' from P.U.L.S.E. is dog-dirt. Anyone who hasn't heard it should listen to it. Roger's vocal part at the end has been unbelievably murdered.
Location: Edinburgh or Aberdeen depending on the time of year

It was better than hey You at the Berlin concert
"Are there any queers in the theartre tonight" Roger can't sing that bit anymore, for some reason it's always just yelled, as with bob Geldof in the film.
Stupid question, but in the film was it Bob's voice for ITF or was he miming a strange tape of Roger's voice. He certainly looked like he was miming, but miming wjo's voice?

yeah, only just. it's still bloody bad though. The whole P.U.L.S.E album sounds like it was recorded underwater. What does everyone else think of that?
