Roger Waters: Video Anthology

About This Movie

So, Roger Waters: Video Anthology is an interesting piece from ’84. It’s not just your typical concert film but more like a visual journey through Waters' thoughts and themes. The pacing can feel a bit scattered at times, but that’s part of its charm. Each segment – from 'The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking' to 'Lost Boys Calling' – showcases Waters’ knack for storytelling through music, blending political commentary with personal reflection. The performance and visual artistry combined create this unique atmosphere that’s hard to shake off. There’s a rawness in the practical effects that adds to the overall vibe, making it distinct in the music genre that I think collectors appreciate.

This anthology has seen limited releases over the years, with VHS being the most common format encountered by collectors. However, it's not frequently found in pristine condition, making copies in good shape a bit harder to track down. The distinct blend of Waters' musical themes and visual storytelling draws interest from collectors, particularly those who appreciate the conceptual depth of his work.
