Live Music: Roger Waters

Five stars

Bringing his audacious ego-trip of a concept album into the 21st century, Roger Waters's current incarnation of The Wall live adopts the latest technology to recreate his "rock opera" brainchild in stadiums and arenas across the world.

It's an explosive experience in every sense of the word as the stage looks as if it's in danger of being blown up by its own firework display. Even a giant model of a World War II warplane collides into the rafters with a bang during an extended opener of In The Flesh?
