I was at the Feb 7 opening night show. The first time The Wall was played in it's entirety live. The infamous show where the curtains caught on fire from the plane crashing on stage. They were unable to keep the show going, so shortly after the bit where the animation of "Der Fucking Flowers" happens, Roger stopped the show, so more attention could be put on stopping the fire. Once things were settled, Rodger had the crew start up the show again before the "Flower" animation, so we got to see the video twice along with the great music to Empty Spaces.

I feel your pain etc, I was lucky enough to see the original show in London in 1979. I went to the Pulse tour in the 90s in London and was in the crowd when two sections down where my daughter and I were sitting collapsed and they had to stop the show after about 45 to 50 seconds. (And they were playing Shine on you Crazy Diamond! Probably my favourite song ever) Luckily we were not hurt, but many were and they rescheduled the show and it was amazing. The mirror ball is still one of everlasting concert memories.

I was there on 2/28/80! It was unbelievable esp for those days.

It's quite remarkable how this band went from playing sets of almost completely improvised music to playing improvisatory music which is written with sections to be improvised in, then all of a sudden after Dark Side they started to synchronize their playing with a video of cash registers and coins. From then on more and more visual effects were employed until we end up with Pink Floyd On Ice in the 80s and 90s. This band had a synchronized video for almost every song and every new song added sequenced percussion, synths, etc and leaving no room left for improvising. However, many props to Rick Wright. Every night they shut down the video screens and sequencers and left room for him to stretch out a few times. Every night he played something noticeably different. Rick Wright ruled. I love this band but they changed into a whole new band. These recordings in a way represent the last breath of the Band's flair for improvising.

I can understand now why David Gilmour so desperately tried to restore the "musical balance" (after Roger left Pink Floyd) and also released The Endless River. This was an act of liberation of this mighty band.

@TerrencesClassicRockCorner24 One song being slightly altered in the middle doesn't really amount to much when every tour up till 1977 had their own quirks and basically changed the songs for the better. The money "Jam" only serves to lengthen an already long song, a curse which had bestowed money since like 1977 lol. Even back then it was getting toooooo long. Saying David Gilmour would release stuff is pretty stupid when you consider that David hasn't released any of their recordings from the vaults, which I would argue are more important than the wall concert. David only releases stuff when it fits in with his revisionist agenda to keep the band an "enigma". David refuses to release the countless Soundboard recordings and Open Air Recordings that are in their archives due to the simple fact they can't be edited in any way. On top of that, there are rumors of every show being filmed via VTR post 1975 and that some collectors have these films. Even the live stuff we did get from their golden era are pure fabrications. Wembley 1974 is an autotuned mess with different nights spliced in to correct for David's mistakes. Quite frankly roger was right about ITAOT... It's quite frankly the worst thing James Guthrie ever put together, its filled with Frankenstein'd songs with different nights for every fucking word in some cases. Another thing, David was the one who vetoed any live release for the Animals 2018 mix, Andy Jackson prepared a release for it and was turned down by David. David Gilmour is just as guilty as roger for hating the band's legacy.

​@TerrencesClassicRockCorner24 The agreement says Roger owns The Wall. ITAOT would not have happened without his consent. He contributed to the liner notes, he gave interviews about it and he even signed copies for an EMI giveaway in Europe. As for the artwork - he will have signed off on that just like he did on the Animals Remix artwork, which was also done by Storm's colleague Aubrey Powell (based on an idea by Roger).

The first few instances of these instrumentals feel right in the context of The Wall and places where they are in the first half of the performance. The last example is very nearly a boogie though. It’s a strange way to herald Pink’s descent into hell.

Whatever song it ‘sounds like’ its is Floyd and it is a little throwback to earlier days which I think juxtaposes the intensity of the first half of the wall excellently. Even though I love the last few bricks too

I don't think this track cames from the 1980's concerts. Because every song was synchronized with the construction and demolition of the wall on stage, so how was it possible play for 14 mins. of improvisation?

Жыл бұрын

It was right near the end of the first half with only Goodbye Cruel World before the interval, so therefore didn't interfere with anything else that was synchronised. It was only because the wall builders were quite a way behind with where they were supposed to be that the band started improvising. 7 Feb 1980 was the first night of the the tour and the same night the fire broke out and they stopped at What Shall We Do Now. Full recordings of all these dates can easily be found on KZread.

That's somewhat true. David doesn't go much beyond minor blues scale, aeolian and dorian modes. Occasionally he shines on the major scale, like in the first solo of Comfortably Numb. But that's about it. He noodles around live without much freedom with phrasing. Rick is even more limited. But they've always done a fantastic job in studio, where they can craft the solos and distill the improvisations. I think their greatest skill was in crafting songs, creating atmosphere and using beautiful tones. Their playing served the music, which is the right approach. In other words, they had great taste.
