They were wearing masks of the real Floyd members, and when "The Thin Ice" starts, the real band appears on stage, and all eight (plus the four backing vocalists) conclude the show
@@brankostanojevic7421 No, they are not. The opening were played by the accompanying musicians Andy Bown, Snowy White, Willie Willson and Peter Woods wearing masks of the Floyd members. It's the "surrogate band". Roger Waters is singing behind the scene.
Gilmore used to busk outside the concerts in the 70s and no body new who he was it was a joke they had they were not really that kind of rockstar but they are
You guys are right when you say that the band playing on stage in this video is not Pink Floyd, but you have to consider this: we're talking about The Wall Live, a theatrical show. The band playing there is "The Surrogate Band", the same as you hear on "In The Flesh". They open the show in this song wearing PF masks to make an interpretation of the real band. The guys on stage are Andy Brown as Roger, Snowy White as David, Peter Wood as Rick and Willie Wilson as Nick. Of course after this song, the real band takes the stage to play the rest of the show, with the other guys playing as backing performers.
Gilmour has said that the band has often discussed they are "faceless" to their audience that they could hire other musicians to do live shows and they would probably get away with it.
During the 77 tour, at the start of the show a bass player would come out (a tiny speck to most of the audience in the stadiums they were playing) and start playing the intro to 'Sheep'. The audience would go mental screaming for Roger, but it was actually Snowy White. Roger just sang on that one, unlike in 74, 75. Roger, in his bad mental state and medical drug fuelled ego trip go a bit annoyed that they gave him the same manic response as him - didn't matter if he was playing up there at all. So, in The Wall, the band come on and the audience thinks it's Pink Floyd* but it's actually the backing band with the singer miming and Roger singing off-stage. Then, later in the show they play 'In the Flesh' without the question mark- the real Floyd. As with lots of aspects of Pink Floyd, it's all very meta and the irony of the Wall album, the Final Cut and much more significantly the first two Gilmour-led albums containing a whole host of session musicians and in the case of the Gilmour band, a load of faceless songwriters helping out in lieu of their actual fully fledged songwriter being there. He was absent! which is the theme of the classic Floyd stuff. Then there's the songs that Nick Mason felt he couldn't play at all being played by session musicians. Mother, Two Suns In the Sunset, I think part of Atom Heart Mother iirc and well, *all* of Momentary Lapse of Reason (not that it matters on that one). Plus of course, thier original muse, songwriter and lead guitarist not being there for nearly the entire duration of the band being together! This inspired the whole 'big' period Dark Side - The Wall, really. So yeah, really profound statement and really astute of Roger to spot it and put it into a show/music. *- except for the guitarists in the audience, of course! that ain't Dave Gilmour guitar.
I was obsessed with the studio version of this album. Then my Freshman year of college somebody gave me the live version. Now I can't even listen to the studio version anymore. My children will hear the live album and nothing else!
Roger I send you my love didn't recognise your face but I recognised your voice beautiful one great performance I can hear it in the background outside my house and sirens maybe it's too exciting ja ?
Somewhere locked away in a vault is a full broadcast quality version of the entire concert. It was revealed in the book about The Wall, Comfortably Numb that a version exists.
Waters wanted oneof the biggest bands in history, The Beach Boys, to sing, OMG, the backing vocals, amazingly, they actually agreed, until they caught on to the 'themes' of The Wall, then they quickly pulled out and got inspired enough to go on their own world tour. LOL! Mega-rock largesse gone nuts! And so true to The Wall!
LMAO !!! At the start the announcers like-- "One thing i would like to point out,...upon completion of the showBWAAAAAAAANNNGGGGGG !!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome !!
This show has the best version of Run Like Hell. I love this concert so much - pure genius. I can't imagine what it must have felt like to be part of the experience.
the version you hear is actually is from the wall live album "is there anybody out there 1980-1981" which alot of the songs are frankensteins of different shows and rehearsals what domokon did was overlay the album onto the bootleg video tapes of the wall tour (august 7-9 1980)
JM is correct. The first performers to appear on the stage in the original "Wall" concerts were not the actual members of Pink Floyd; they were the backup musicians in Floyd masks. What's more, if you want to see what the masks looked like, they are on the cover of the live CD of this concert, the one that came out a few years ago called "Is There Anybody out There?"
If there is a ghost in my house it either likes or dislikes this version of this song. The first time I played it in the house was when we moved in about 5 years ago. The volume on the stereo went to max by itself. Cut to about 4 1/2 years later, hadn't played the song since the last incident and had forgotten about it. This time our VCR (this thing that plays giant videotapes) turned on by itself and began playing the tape that was in it.
the dvd is called "the wall live at earls court 1980" but it's a bootleg dvd.I bought it two years ago from a store in Athens,Greece.you have to look to stores that sell bootleg recordings
@TheOwlsOfGaHoole I think I was reading Rolling Stone magazine, and it said "While watching high definition footage of David Gilmour playing the solo to Comfortably Numb back in 1980, footage that will soon one day be availible to fans"....
Actually there many proshots in the full version of the documentary Behind the wall. This video shows a few proshots that were from the short version of the documentary.
Watching on German T.V., "The Wall" perfomed in Berlin in 1990 was a seriously interesting television viewing. Seeing the Scorpions perform this song (In The Flesh) in Berlin for me was the highlight. Seeing Sinead O'Connor perform the song "Mother" was the low-point.
@MoveOverCasanova No, it's just the audio from the video was so poor that he updated it with the audio from the live album. It's just really out of sync.
lol, he's right though. Watch the documentary "Behind The Wall". Both David Gilmour and Roger Waters say themselves "We were so faceless…that you could practically send out an entirely different band to play Pink Floyd shows." And that's exactly what they did for the In The Flesh? And The Wall tours…they had a group of musicians play the intro (although now Waters just does it himself.) Dude, it's even on the Wikipedia page for The Wall…Just Google it.
You sir are correct. if you read the notes of this particular performance The Floyd actually had a surrogate band, just for this song. if you continue watching the video they actually play this concert. I bought this CD and on the cover is the 4 masks that were cast.
i wonder how much different it must have been to hear this music before the movie was out. This concert was 81, The Wall the movie came out in 82. Must have been weird to hear it without the visualization of Pink (Geldof) and the hammer army, and a bunch of other stuff too :p
And Roger hasn't forgotten that! He's kicked off nearly every solo show (ecept Pros & Cons, and KAOS On the Road, in which case he did it later.) My favorite variation is that he now uses the German "Eins! Svie! Drie! HAMMER!" from "Waiting For the Worms" to kick off "ITF". It works perfectly. And audience members LOVE it when the spotlight shines on them as Roger sings "Get him up against the wall!" They go fucking nuts! (Kinda like the 2008 Houston show when I managed to touch the flying pig!)
@fl00dsm0k3 it is. The band playing is not Pink Floyd, it's the surrogate band they had onstage with them for the Wall shows. The only Floyd member on the opening song is Roger and Andy Bown is miming wearing the Roger face mask
I don't know much about guitars, but if you're talking about 0:34, then it's not David Gilmour. That's Snowy White wearing a "David" mask to play as the Surrogate Band everytime they played "In The Flesh?"
@TacomaPaul im seeing roger at the honda center, annaheim dec.13, its gonna rock!!! by the way out of this whole tour, david gilmour is gonna suprise everyone and show up at one of the shows!!! keep your fingers crossed. >:-D
no.i've got the whole show on dvd,the only songs the surrogate band plays is "in the flesh?" and "in the flesh" at the second part of the show with pink floyd standing beside them
Now I have always wondered if they were airing it and the band was actually playing behind stage or something, and with the vocals it definitely sounds like Water's voice.
@DyingPulseProduction Nope, it's Andy Bown (the second bassist who toured with them). Roger was singing from off-stage. Bown (and the other "surrogate band "members) wore PInk Floyd masks as a sort of vindication of Roger's statement that once a band gets as famous as Pink Floyd as an entity, it almost doesn't matter who's on the stage anymore, because people are there for the spectacle and the experience, rather than connecting with the artist personally through their music.
it appears that dave's guitarist 'filler-helper' actually played the first guitar parts including the lead cut ins. can anyone confirm or correct me on this? thanks
+Kieran Connelly thanks....he was a fine player.....you seem to have alot of pf knowledge....dave is my favorite player but roger once popped off something about the solo to comfortably numb ... that is was not all dave gilmour's playing on the studio version....i think this was just a jealous lie on water's part...but it gave me a nagging doubt....can you clarify this one? thanks in advance.....
i think ull find this isnt pnik floyd playing, its the surrogate band they used for their live show. I wish i had been there it would have been great to see the transfer between imposters and the real deal!
_The idea to include live concert footage of any significant length for The Wall film was dropped shortly before the final shows took place. There are conflicting statements regarding the professionally filmed footage. It had been widely believed that 'the wrong type of film' had been used and the results were dark and murky. Mark Fisher, partly responsible for designing the show said the footage was: 'very dark and horrible and boring and should be burned'._
@Gold753 -- It's no louder than the Verdi Requiem or Mahler 2, a couple of other great pieces of art that have some themes in common with The Wall. It's rock at its most grandiose -- if you don't like it, don't listen to it!
I wonder that too. Each of the surrogates were well-rehearsed for the whole show; they did supporting parts when they weren't pretending to be Pink Floyd. But I don't care how MUCH you rehearse; NOBODY can sing like Roger at his best! So Andy Bown (as "Roger) MUST have been lyp-synching to Roger singing backstage. I also like how the surrogate Floyd had very little equipment visible on stage.

Thats an act. They did it on every wall show in the 80s
i know, but that doesnt change how much i love it.
Fucking genius how they did that. If you have the live album you can tell it was intentional and fucking AMAZING. "Master of ceremonies"

In case anyone's interested on who are the musicians:
Andy Bown - bass guitar and lipsync

Peter Wood - hammond organ

That must have been a head trip for some in the audience, if they realized the guys playing here were not Pink Floyd.

They Are only wearing masks.

It is a mask, but who really gives a shit.
The music speaks for itself., I am still recovering from this tour 28 years later. Awesome.
I give a shit. It's pretty amazing satire, really fits into the context of the album's story, and it's just a clever and brilliant move.
If you like music in any way shape or form, listen to this.
The greatest opening to a concert. Long Live Pink Floyd!!!
