The end section of Funky Dung- and importantly, the drum break coming out of it- were flawless. I can't stress how important that is, it's respect. The band, by being true to the music, were also flawless, and did the best of any version I've heard. In fact, considering holding the whole thing up on her own, it's better than the album. She handled it beautifully and her vocals were by far the best on any cover. The solo vocalist was put in a very difficult position, having to sustain both quality and attention on her own, without a full choir. I see this as a classical piece and those notes are important, not just jamming. I appreciate the guitarist sticking to Gilmour's notes. The photography worked with the band and the staging, to create something really awe inspiring.
The staging was imaginative, beautiful, and appropriate.
In every other way this is absolutely the best cover of this piece I've ever seen, and I mean that in every way. The only weak point was the brass section, who weren't quite in tune in the beginning, but they got it together towards the end. Considering that this piece is in my top 5 pieces of music ever made, I have pretty high demands for how it's done.
