Imagine this album played in concert. And during the show, a 60ft high wall is slowly built from big Styrofoam blocks. The wall is used as a projector screen and during different songs the band pops up or out of the wall. Then at the end as the crowd chants "tear down the wall" it all comes crashing down for the last song. It was a show I'll never forget!
I saw Roger Waters doing The Wall in 2012 in Toronto (I was only 11 when the album came out so didn't see the original tour) and it was absolutely mind-blowing - definitely one of my top 5 all-time shows.
Don't forget the enormous puppets!
*they're actual cardboard and I was actually able to get one after a show years ago when Roger did the Wall.
The trial is him finally realizing that he is the one hurting himself. The trial takes fully place in his mind. His whole life he went through life blaming others and his past trauma. Which gets into the whole point of the album. "Outside the wall“ the most important song on the album. We all have past trauma that we carry into our relationships with loved ones and how we raise our kids. But if we let down our walls and connect with people then we can end the cycle. And thats why the album loops.
Nice overview.
Exactly ❤️
You captured that very well. Childhood trauma stunted me and this album spoke to me so much and also how I know your words are so true.
Great explanation! 😎👍
I remember it being a very heavy and profound realization that it was all in his head after a few listens at 12-13 years old.
Having survived a number of traumatic events by that age it really hit home very hard, and was quite the bitter pill to swallow.. the trial of the self or superego. It’s what inevitably happens to those who take a “hero dose” of psilocybin or similar psychedelic- the dismantling of the ego and honest examination and confrontation of one’s core self.
I’d have to differ on “Outside” being the most important song though. It certainly is the profound summary of the album, which really puts it all into perspective.. but I would suggest that “Stop” is the most important, being the sudden moment of clarity and pivotal surrender of the self.. the change of heart to put an end to the madness.
@@CANDOKNOWHOW I agree with that. Outside the wall is the more in your face explanation but Pink himself literally stops his cycle… hopefully lol.
The last lyrics "isn't this where..." finish in the 1st song on the album - "...we came in", thus completing the circle. Good job, men.
😳 Really!? Woah!
The 360° concept album. Roger was the final boss of the prog level. 😎
Beat me to it. 😀
@@rlwetz4317 Roger understands what crazy is. The clinical variety. The root of much of his genius, Syd's too.
@@jasonfazio6170 haha. I can't tell if it is sarcasm, but good emoji 👍(I'm scarred by the cynical world these days).
I absolutely love The Trial. The imagery and craziness of it all is so mesmerizing.
That's what I'm saying, I thought I was the only one who thought that.
Yes, its my favourite track on the album. Its so intense, haunting and just epic.
Roger and producer Bob Ezrin are credited for The Trial. More greatness from Roger with the insane vocals.
We are definitely in the insane asylum now, no confusion about what Roger wants to convey. And the lulls when the medication kicks in taking him on a trip.
The album is actually a loop. Buried at the very end you can hear a voice say, "Isn't this whe-". If you gi back to the start of the album, it's the same music and you hear "'ere we came in?" "Isn't this where we came in." He slowly built the wall over time. Tore it down, and inevitably started building a new one.
The trial is him trapped within in his own wall, not really being in an actual place. His mother, wife and teacher reappear.
Live, a wall is built on the front of the stage throughout the performance of the album. At the end, the explosions the Wal collapses. The top blocks go forward towards the crowd before collapsing safely back onto the stage. They only played a limited anoint of these shows. They filmed it, but the theaters had to be too dark for the film to come out well. Bits are online.
All these years later, I still can't describe this album... whatever it is, it's something MORE than music. You called it a production, a musical, a storybook... It's all those things... and genius... And for sure, get the circle together, big or small, light it up... put this on and let it go... (and obviously, watch the movie)
Hey, I'm in! Sounds great. Please organic weed only. None of those flavored or edibles. Clean bowl water pipe, dim the lights, cold brew, ROLL EM!
It will end up as a Broadway play, making millions long after we are all gone...
Arguably the greatest album start to finish off all music history. Such a well crafted piece of art.
Roll a joint...it's story time.. one of the best descriptions of floyd ive heard.
This is my favorite album EVER! The Wall is THE GREATEST ALBUM EVER!
You guys are going to LOVE the Movie. It will put all into Focus. All questions will be answered. The Decoder was Close but a littler off. Pink was never in the war, his dad was. The movie is very artfully done, both story line and artistry. Wonderfully done. If you guys could have seen the inside cover of this album, you would have understood much better.
I was lucky to be at Earl's Court in London in 1980 (Think it was Wed 6th August) seeing this performed live. It was truly incredible. I was lucky to see it also in 1981 at Earl's Court again. I count myself as one of the lucky ones.
Bros! Imagine in the early 80s, a teen who had gathered enough pocket money and a few little jobs to acquire a HiFi set and half a dozen records, including The Wall. That's me! I wasn't smoking weed at that time, but man, I did tripping. This music has influenced all my life, on the artistic level as well as on the intellectual level. That's what I've been looking for ever since. Some art that makes you feel, that makes you think and that makes you talk. I commend you for listening to this masterpiece with such an open mind prompting reactions like "this sounds like hip-hop" or "A1 production" or "it's like a musical". I loved that, even if I'd have liked to hear more of your feelings and thoughts. Note: not their last album, after came The Final Cut, but the last great.
I came later to the weed with Reggae and Hip-Hop sounds. Remark: Your wall is really missing a KRS-ONE's album cover. ;) Greetings from France!
Roger conceived the concept and wrote the album. When he took creative control of the band post Syd Barrett , the work just went to an immortal level and then came back to just good after he left the group.
No he did not, Comfortably numb? he wrote most of it would be more accurate.
You can listen to this album a thousand times, & find something new to appreciate about it every time. A masterpiece. I’m
Great set of reactions, guys! Loved it! Can't wait for you to react to the movie when everything becomes a little clearer as far as the story goes. They toured this album for 4 weeks in 1980 and 4 weeks in 1981, doing a week of shows in select cities (LA, NY, London, and one of the German cities, I can't remember which) because the logistics and cost was too great to do more. 40ft inflatable puppets representing the different characters were used, and as the band played, crew built a wall separating the band from the audience until at the last word of side 2, the last brick was put in place. For the second half of the show, they played behind the wall except for during Comfortably Numb where Roger played the part of the doctor, singing his parts to the 40ft wall structure while wearing a white lab coat, and David appeared at the top of the wall to sing his parts and play the solos. Only at the end of The Trial during after chants of tear down the wall did the crew literally tear down the wall, complete with flashing lights and smoke. If you get a chance you should watch the live footage from the shows.
The band did release one more album with this lineup in 1983 (but it was beyond fractured and everyone had enough of Roger's ego abuse) called The Final Cut, which was essentially a Roger solo album with members of Floyd playing on it when necessary. After Roger left and a vicious battle in the courts and media, Pink Floyd released 1987's A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, 1994's The Division Bell and had 2 MASSIVE world tours which gave 2 live albums. 1988's Delicate Sound Of Thunder and 1995's PULSE. The last new album was 2014's The Endless River, kind of a coda for the band and tribute to Rick who had died in 2008 of cancer. All well worth listening to as you can tell from your PULSE reactions.
Great post, though I'll add it was David Gilmour's wife who made the problems. Netanyahu was murdering Palestinian tribal peoples on their own soil even then, and Roger was outspoken. And proven correct. He's not always correct, but he definitely was about lifetime criminal Netanyahu, close buddy of Trump-Putin. So that is important to understand as it still is where their problem is today. I do understand David's wife's sensitivity. Everyone is always afraid the Nazi creeps will lump in pedo Robert Kraft or his pimp Jeffrey Epstein as "all Jews", but that's complete nonsense. Here in America, our Great Jewish American community is beyond stellar. They don't have to shield criminals hiding behind real Holocaust horrors dishonoring survivors any more than Trump should be allowed to hide behind his fake Christianity. Criminals attract Criminals. Don't fall for the antisemitism just stay focused on criminal activities. Once the fools do the crimes, they are openly admitting they don't believe in God. So cut them loose that way. Nobody gets to say "I'm a billionaire!" and suddenly it's 'true' just because you said so. Well same is true of EVERY 'brand' of religion. If they believed in God, they wouldn't be helping Trump-Putin nor the Epstein Clients cover-up. David is doing what regarding fools like Robert Kraft, Dershowitz, Trump, Netanyahu?
He's defending them.
Proving Roger Waters to be CORRECT. So let's remember our Great Jewish American Merrick Garland has a job to do. NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW, per Merrick Garland. No matter who is who or how rich. The scumbags hiding behind fake faith gotta go. Remember: King George didn't like that Jewish merchants were doing well in the global depression and recession. He told Prince Wilhelm he wanted a ruling class of German peasants. By whatever means. Wilhelm desperate for approval from Buckingham Palace tapped Hitler to separate the Jews from their assets, then from society, to please Queen Elizabeth's daddy. David Gilmour's wife has to get serious about what made Hitler able to get that power. Disinformation and misinformation. Well who's trying to save scumbags like Kraft and Trump with LIES and Trumpaganda? Rupert Murdoch, Robert Maxwell's replacement.
The whole "Roger's ego" thing has been blown completely out of proportion by those who blame him for the fracturing of Floyd. As if Gilmour and Wright had nothing to do with it. I don't consider Nick to have been part of the problem and I'll leave it at that. If The Final Cut is "essentially a Roger solo album" then what does that make A Momentary Lapse of Reason? The latter has only David while the former still has David, Nick, AND Floyd's conceptual songwriter, Roger. Whether or not TFC is a true Floyd album or not is debatable, but one thing is for sure, it's much more of an honest and genuine artistic statement and way more of a Floyd album than the "fair forgery" (Roger's words) that is AMLoR.
@Bookhouse Boy After every article, report, and interview (some given by Roger himself) how is it possible to not come to the conclusion that his ego swelled to the point where it caused the breakdown in the band? He said himself that he was Pink Floyd and downgraded the rest of the band to essentially session or support musicians. What about that doesn't scream egomaniac to you? Roger's lyrics and concepts are second to none, there's no doubt about that. Musically however, what grabbed the listener and engaged them, you know... since it's music and not poetry we're talking about, it's David and Rick that did the heavy lifting in making Roger's demos into the brilliant music they became. Roger's been on record as fighting with everyone his worked with, especially in the late 70s and early 80s. He asked Bob Ezrin to work with him on Radio KAOS but he declined saying he'd rather work with David and didn't need the headache Roger came with. Bottom line, Roger has tantrums and resorts to personal attacks if he doesn't get his own way, blames everyone else for his failings, and claims everything to do with the Floyd was him, and nobody else deserves credit. Nope, no ego issues there.
@@ianfortier6796 Or you're a Netanyahu Trump-Putin supporter and don't understand Roger has principles?
@Greg Typical, every thread turns political. Nothing I've said makes any references to Roger's politics, so your comment is completely irrelevant. I've only commented on his interactions and actions within the band. That being said, I'm 100% anti-Trump/Putin, and am part Ukrainian, but thank you for your random at best accusation. As for Netanyahu, I'm not familiar enough with the Israeli conflict to make any statements or judgments.
Great job on this album. It's not easy to follow. Watching the movie would put it in better context. Personally, I like the song "The Trial." It's a great example of Floyd's ability to set the atmosphere for what they're singing about. 4:42 always gets me. That brass hit in-between "Since" `Boom` "My friend, you have revealed...." It's like a punch in the face.
Cool as hell in concert when the wall came tumbling down. 1980, 2012
there's a coffee shop in amsterdam called the wall,plays floyd and this album 24/7
i'd have a smoke,listen,then go thru what felt like intrusive therapy
great reaction and run thru guys
nice
lol
Great reaction. thank you for giving this the respect it deserves and listening to it the way it was meant to be listen to. Now if you watch some of the live versions of the songs you at least know what chapter of The story you’re listening to. Great job and thank you so much for sharing with us.🙌❤️✌️🌼
Couldn’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve listened to this album in the past 44 years. It still reaches way down inside there somewhere and stirs stuff around the same way Sgt. Pepper’s and the White Album do.
Thank you so much for completing this Masterpiece. Some of Roger Waters best storytelling.
Can't wait till you see it... I WANT TO SEE you're reaction to the movie...!!! There's going to be MANY "Ohhhhh" moments..!
the end with roger Division Bell is an outstanding album from 94
He's locked up ok , but in his mind, behind the mental wall that he has built up throughout his life, his own subconscious mind is putting himself on trial. It's a story of redemption.
Guys, I am so glad you hung in and worked your way through the whole album - and discovered what a piece of art it really is. There was one more Pink Floyd album after this, The Final Cut, but it's more of a Roger Waters solo album with the other guys along for the ride. It's another brilliant piece of work, and takes Roger's feelings on war even further, especially in addressing the Falkland Islands war with he rightly viewed as a horrible exercise in ego by Margaret Thatcher.
You really should check out the movie of The Wall if you get the chance, it really helps flesh out the story - but it definitely helps to be properly chemically enhanced 🙂
great album great reaction thanks for doin and glad you dig
Amazing 👏👏
He is locked behind the wall that he built to “protect” himself.
That’s Nick Mason as the judge. He didn’t get to do many vocals. He also is the lead vocalist on “One of These Days”.
You two did a brilliant job reviewing this album.
It was an album, then a live show, then a film.
Congrats, you made it. Notice that the outro is the same as the intro, right back to the beginning. The film is highly recommended.
Rock Operas were a big thing in the '70's and '80's. Aside from this one, other notable Rock Operas are (in no particular order), Jesus Christ Superstar, Tommy, Joe's Garage, Operation: Mindcrime, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, The Redheaded Stranger, and I'll throw in American Idiot, as well.
thanks guys - great reacts
Division Bell came out in 94. All Gilmour and its excellent
These three songs break me every time. Fuck. So powerful. My soul reacts.
The Final Cut is up next. It is just as different and is also great. Rogers vocals are outstanding. Great saxophone, Gilmour and his amazing solos...
Appreciated 🙂
"it's a musical" well put.
I used to commute from Milpitas to Oakland for work back in the mid 80’s and I can’t tell you how many times I listened to this album during that commute. Definitely made traffic easier to endure. My favorite band. They are THE SHIT! Love you guys and your insights and appreciation.❤
The Final Cut was listed as Pink Floyd but it was really Roger Waters, but you cannot mistake it being Pink Floyd. If you like saxophone playing, FC has some excellent sax work. Final Cut, I believe was about the Falklands War Britain fought with Argentina and Roger was upset at the people cheering the warships leaving to go fight a war.
England's Royal Monarchy's opulence has to colonize to fund their tea and crumpets. Roger carefully taking out those who silenced Lady Di.
"A Gunners Dream" when Waters long note melts into the sax PERFECTLY is incredible...!
But I might like "Your possible past" a bit more....
The Final Cut are songs that didn't make the final cut onto The Wall...
It's hard to believe those 2 songs didn't make the cut unless they improved them after The Wall.
Gilmour did still manage to get in a few killer solos, and he does sing lead on "Not Now John", but yes for the most part it's all Roger. By this time the band was just trying to get through this final album of their contract with Columbia records, and Dave, weary from the fighting, just stepped back and let Roger take it. It would be his last with the band.
@@flubblert EVERYONE was sick of Waters being a complete control freak, and sh!tting on and rejecting their contributions.
After all it was THEIR contributions that that made Waters concepts and lyrics into actual good music that the masses could appreciate.... Waters did NOTHING special without them.
@@2869may The idea that Roger was a "control freak" is utter BS. According to Nick Mason, "Roger is sometimes credited with enjoying confrontation, but I don’t think that’s the case. I do think Roger is often unaware of just how alarming he can be ... his everything can be pretty scary… David, on the other hand, may not be so initially alarming, but once decided on a course of action is hard to sway. When his immovable object met Roger’s irresistible force, difficulties were guaranteed to follow.” Waters' wrote much of the music too (or haven't you been paying attention?) and apparently his solo work flies over your head, that is if you even bothered to immerse yourself in it at all. At the risk of coming across as an elitist music snob (but not as much as you come across as), much of solo Waters' is apparently too intelligent for the masses to appreciate.
They actually recorded four more albums after this one: The Final Cut; A Momentary Lapse of Reason; The Division Bell and The Endless River, but this was the last album to feature the four members, Roger Waters (bass guitar and vocals),. David Gilmour (guitar and vocals), Richard Wright (keyboards) and Nick Mason (drums). Interestingly, Nick Mason is the only member to appear on all 15 albums.
"They must have taken my marbles away" 🤣🤣🤣
I always loved the trial, just blew me away. An acquired taste maybe.
I have said it since 1979! This album HAS to be listened in its entirety
Daniel Roth
Hello to the guys on the screen i like you very much because i am 71 years old and almost all the music you present i have know them at the time from the middle of the 60's and thank you i rediscover them and it makes me younger. First time l have seen Pink Floyd it was in England in 1967 and the in Montreux a little bit later I am living in Switzerland and all that music was all my life at the time again thank you
The Last with Rogers Waters is called the " The Final Cut" . It contains songs left off the Wall and a few new ones. It is looked over by most, but it is still a decent Album if you are a fan.
What more be said? Genius….like all Pink Floyd works….love your reactions though, they always reveal more, thank you!
Mind-boggling crazy incredible piece of art. Throw in the movie, and uh, holy shit!
Showing feelings, show feelings, feelings of an almost human nature... I loved that line
I remember many years ago.. I tried to get some of my black friends to listen to Pink Floyd.. and they just never got into it.. so one day we were taking a trip to Tahoe.. a 4 Hour cruise and I put Pink Floyd on.. and then I got them Hook Line & Sinker... and now anytime we went anywhere they would tell me put some pink on.. so funny I got my daughter and so I'm to listen to Pink Floyd.. and now they played for their kids my grandkids.. and it's still just as good as day one.. and you guys got to remember back in those days we were doing lots of LSD.. every kind of drug out.. I remember I could not wait for The Animals album come out... finally got to see them live in the Cow Palace...
"The Final Cut" is the last one. It deserves a listen
When You Two watch the Movie you will get "When The TIgers Broke Free" and other musical alterations, and the Flowers and various incredible animated sequences.
Was so good listening to this epic with you guys. Thanks!!
Great job guys! Loved the reaction(s)! So glad you did all the Floyd and how you break down and appreciate all of it! Floyd did one more (The Final Cut) album together but not really, it was mostly a Waters album.
The Final Cut was released in 1983 and featured everyone except Richard Wright on keyboards. He had been fired during The Wall, but he was kept on through the tour as a salaried sideman.
They broke up after the next album, which is sort of the companion piece to The Wall. Its a lot of songs that were intended to end up on here but fit in The Final Cut better. The Final Cut is more direct and political. Not a lot of metaphors, whereas The Wall is one giant metaphor.
The Final Cut is very clear that it's talking about Roger Waters post-war depression and the trauma of losing his father during the war.
After that, Roger left the band. Pink Floyd would go on to release 2 more albums and then would retire as well (with a one time 20 min live reunion in 2008, and an all instrumental album being released in 2014 in honor of their keyboardist who had passed on.
I hope you guys will get to check out The Final Cut. It's less of a story, and more of a concept like Dark Side of the Moon, but its Roger at his most vulnerable. I really mean that. If you thought Roger was opening up and being vulnerable here, just wait. Its the only album of the classic Roger era that you havent listened to so I really hope you guys will get to it some time.
Great reaction guys, keep it up!
He's locked up in his mind.
this isnt the last album there is THE FINAL CUT album of 1983 thats the last one before they broke up and its a continuation of THE WALL and i love it so much yall need to hear it fr
I saw this concert in LA. During the entire show they were building a wall in from of the stage. At the end it fell.
The production behind his voice seeming to fall from the sky
There's one more album with Roger Waters after this called "The Final Cut". After Roger left, the other three regrouped and made two more albums: "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" and "The Division Bell."
Do a "pros and cons of a hitchhiker" reaction amazing album! 👍
Bob Ezrin had a big influence.
From Wikipedia
Robert Alan Ezrin OC (born March 25, 1949) is a Canadian music producer and keyboardist, best known for his work with Lou Reed, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Kiss, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Peter Gabriel, Andrea Bocelli and Phish.
Ezrin has worked with Pink Floyd on a number of occasions, co-producing the albums, The Wall, A Momentary Lapse of Reason, and The Division Bell. He has also co-written the songs "The Trial", "Signs of Life", "Learning to Fly", and "Take It Back".
Great studio records and great movie. Got to see the movie. Follows what you hear on the double lp. Stirring and awesome.
For perspective, when they performed this live, a wall was being built in front of the band. By the half way point, they played behind it. At the end of "The Trial" the wall is knocked down.
Time for 🍿 guys!
It is clever, thought-provoking lyrics of Rorger Waters combined with exquisite composition of David Gilmour and Richard Wright (and Waters as well), mixed with exellent production, tonnes of genius and talent, and all mixed with hard work. The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall - this was the peak of Pink Floyd's genius music. However, let's not forget the previous, as well as later, albums. Perhaps they are not as excellent as those four, but still very good.
Exactly grab a joint and enjoy
If I'm not mistaken, there was a murmur of "Atom Heart Mother" in the tear-down outro.
Airplay Beats, if you're ever fellin' froggy about a PF deep cut...there ya go. Jump on that whole mother of an LP side. 😉
The final cut is the last album .. well worth a listen.
"The Division Bell" 1994 is Pink Floyd's last original album.
I've listened to your videos a couple times of this. It reminds me so much of Aerosmith toys in the attic and reminds me so much of Alice Cooper Stephen.
A Good Sunday to You Brother's ... With a Great Album (Experience) ... a Good Day as 'ANY' for Reflection ... This Album brings it Home man
Peace Brothers, - The Last couple Words at the Very End of this Album. are a Continuation
of the Very First Words in the Beginning of the Album.
You guys definitely need to check out the movie, it’s phenomenal 👍
Guys you must watch videoclip from this musical movie.
This wasn't the end of Pink Floyd. Roger left, but David Gilmour went on with the rest of the band and made some really great albums like The Division Bell, A Momentary Lapse of Reason, and a few live albums namely the Pulse album where you get the incredible extended guitar solo by Gilmour at the end of Comfortably Numb.
The very last part of Side Four, the start of the sentence "This is where...", flows into the very first part of Side One, the end of the sentence "...we came in".
side 4 is all in "pink's" head. when you get to see the movie all the "empty spaces" will be filled in for you.
There is another album credited to PF, but much like this it is mostly Roger doing his thing with the writing. The album is The Final Cut.
Now react to The next version of Pink Floyd... A Momentary Lapse Of Reason
Epic group and epic reaction!
Roger Waters the bassist and main composer wrote the whole album with some input from Gilmour for Comfortably Numb and I Need A dirty girl. He still does it on his own as a solo artist even did it at the Berlin wall with guest singers when the wall fell in 89.
There are 3... Technically 4 more albums after The Wall, there's A Momentary Laps of Reason, The Division Bell (EXTREMELY UNDERRATED), and in 2018 they released a collection of unreleased works called Endless River in honor of the death of drummer Nick Mason, and in 1983 the album The Final Cut was released, which was basically an extension of The Wall a bunch of tracks that "didn't make The Final Cut” it could also be looked at as ironic because it was the last album that Roger Waters was on, however look for "Pink Floyd Live 8 reunion" I know it's on TH-cam, it's a great performance of GREAT SONGS and i believe is the first and last time Roger Waters performed with the band since his departure.. anyway I'm LOVING THE REACTIONS GUYS, SEEING HOW YOU GUYS LOOK AT IT FROM A MODERN MUSICIAN POINT OF VIEW CATCHING ALL THE SMALL DETAILS THAT SHOW JUST HOW AMAZING THEY WERE... HAD AN OPPORTUNITY IN 1994 TO SEE THEM AND MISSED OUT BECAUSE I WAS A POOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT.. LOL
You should also watch “Roger Waters - The Wall.” This movie/concert is the whole stage production. It’s incredible just to watch! The story plays out in front of your eyes.
Yes I said the same. Incredible concert and the songs sound a lot better live as well
Watch the movie, please. will explain so much. You'll appreciate the story with comfortably numb. This album also leads into the final cut album. A little-touched-on expansion of the war story told in the wall.
Pink Floyd put out three more original albums after The Wall: "The Final Cut" 1983, "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" 1987, and "The Division" 1994.
The last two were made without the input of Roger Waters, the brilliant Lyricist and conceptual leader of the band who left the group in 1985 over creative and artistic differences between him and David Gilmour. Roger was becoming more political and personal in his writing (The Wall was for the most part based on him), and Dave was not on board with the direction he was taking them. The atmosphere between the two had become so toxic that Roger decided to leave.. on his own.
You'll recall the "Pulse" Concert that you've seen clips of is from 1994. Some 15 years after the release of "The Wall"
As an old fart, I had the pleasure of watching the live performance of this album in Los Angeles in 1981. Good times, I think?🤔
The Final Cut Bros. 😎
there is much more in fact(; but it was their last album all together ( the keyboarder richard wright was fired by waters during the recordings). roger waters (the writer of the wall) leaves the band 1983 i think. but the rest of them moved on as pink floyd and had pretty much success. the divsion bell for example was a worldwide number one album.
its roger waters that wrote the lyrics and came up with the concept, he has actually written an opera called CA IRA, its not bad for a opera, its about the french revolution,
this wasnt the last album before waters left, the next one called THE FINAL CUT was, its an album that is good but not all like it, some see it as a roger waters solo but its not, if the final cut is a solo then there are many other pink floyd albums that could be called one, if you like emotionally well written songs sung very emotionally then it is for you to enjoy.
The Wall was their last album with all the original band members. Waters and Wright left the band in 81’ and 85’, but the others kept making albums, although most would agree that The Wall was their last truly great work
Thanks so much for reviewing this album. I hope you will continue to listen to it as you will pick up more nuances and lyrics will begging to connect from having listened to it the whole way through. You guys did a great job for only having heard it once! I’m a fan.
INSPIRED is the word to describe the writing on this album
Now you guys need to watch the movie. That will help clear up your questions.
Gotta watch the movie.
James Gang. Funk 49.🔥🔥🎶🎶
Its the end of the great Floyd albums but the did make a few more
I'm just here to say you might as well do the final cut album too, I will be here for it
Way to go! Great job! Now go watch the movie
Definitely watch the movie together spark 1 up and enjoy your libations
