Love the final cut movie and songs, in my opinion its a few of the best and most underappreciated group of songs that pink floyd made. I think more would like it if it was put out there more alongside dark side of the moon and the wall albums, but, thats my two cents....and the one person who felt it was appropriate to click the thumbs down button, shame on u, obviously not a true floyd fan like i am. My whole life their music has been in my blood and kept me going year after year. Ill be a fan till i die!
@Brian Stefanski The album was well promoted in 1983. It's just a very unique album that attracts a very niche audience. It's political views are controversial & omnipresent. Not exactly full of radio friendly tracks to drive sales to the levels of the Mega-albums you mentioned. Regardless, it is underrated and afterwards Roger left the band.
Brian Stefanski I completely agree with you it’s a true underrated master piece, I think what makes it so great is that this album was Waters state of mind and his only way to communicate it was through these songs. Bloody amazing in my opinion
@@rlgnoles1 i wasnt born until 1984, so i didnt witness or experience when these albums they created were released, but when i was around 17 i had a buddy that i would hang around with and every weekend we would go out to this field way out with some other buddies of ours and light a bonfire and drink and smoke and do what kids that age do when hanging out like listen to music and chill. Well, my buddy was big time into 80s rock, hes the best guitar player i know of and he would play a ton of different songs, but pink floyd was his favorite. Well, from that time on till now, i am just blown away and hooked on pink floyd, the songs never get old. The music they produce along with their vocals have a way of just going deep into the heart and soul, like theyre alive somehow. Now, i turn 36 on July 23, and have a child. Shes 1
@@rlgnoles1 sorry about that, it sent before i was finished. Anyway, my daughter is 10 and i have been playing pink floyd for her since the first day she was born, on the way home from hospital, i was playing pink floyd for her, and she loves it just as much as i do, and she has her friends listening to it lol. Its amazing, the power of music, its just amazing if u ask me....
@@Householdreef i dunno if it was Roger Waters that had the strange and misunderstood influence in the music or if it was Sid Barrett. Sid was slowly losing his mind due to drug abuse and i think to an extent he was forgetting who he really was or used to be. Its a shame because he ended up spending the rest of this life from 18 or 20 years old inside psychiatric facilities because he wouldnt be able to function in the real world. His influence was a bit different than roger waters pink floyd. Sids music almost resembles The Beatles style, then when roger took over it is like the music we're all familiar with. Either way, both Waters and Barrett songs are great and I've very grateful to my buddy for introducing me to their music....

Yes, I bought this album on cassette and played it in my walkman(battery cassete player with tiny head phones) over and over again, and again and again.. I was 16 yrs... It became part of me if I may say so.🥰 ❤❤
💯 agreed! I have said many times, Pink Floyd raised me and 50 years later, it hits in different ways! Just like 'Time', I had no realization until it happened, lol. This is my favorite album ❤❤

I bought this cassette when it was first released and literally wore it out to the point it wouldn't play anymore. Then bought the CD as soon as it hit the shelves and listened to it a few hundred times more. Still one of my top 10 CD's ever. I never knew that there was short movie though until just now.
I had 'The Wall' on cassette and this one as well. And 'The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking' too. Pink Floyd and Roger Waters kept me sane all those years! I'm 65 now. 😊👍❤
@@nbmooselovers my guess is you only think you arr sane. most likely you are high degree brainwashed and fooled and fooled over and over and over again. as it is codingly depicted in fletcher memoRIal home ;))
The fact that it is an absolutely _scathing_ political commentary on 80s British and world politics aside, I think this was really one of their best albums. When I read that they weren't themselves too pleased with it, I find that shocking; it's a _great_ album!
Classical music gives me the urge to cry because of how beautiful it is. But this makes me want to cry on a very deep and sad level. This album has helped me through some dark times it feels good embracing those deep thoughts of loneliness, solitude, sadness and trauma. 5/5 album.
I share a birthday with Roger. This album was given to me after graduating boot camp in 1986. "Did they expect us to treat them with any respect?! They can polish their metals and sharpen their smiles, and abuse themselves playing games for awhile. Boom, Boom. Bang, Bang lie down your dead."... "Are ya having a nice time?" The Fletcher Memorial Home. (For Eric Fletcher Waters) "In the Pink" (Vimeo) for Roger's grandfather, George Henry Waters (This is not a Drill) Nothing has changed. Thank You for posting.
Roger, I'm so sorry for the loss of your father and grandfather to warmongers. "A Conspiracy of Silence speaks Louder than Words"... Dr. Winston O Boogie. (Louder than words is the last Pink Floyd song on The Endless River concept album.) The Endless River. Forever and ever. ~ High Hopes
@@ssrs0pus the Endless River is still relatively unknown even among Floyd fans. Many wont give it a chance because its all instrumentals until the final song.

in my 54 years old I can say this is my first time watching the entire video, I have the cd but never seen this before. Wow going back with a hit. thanks for sharing
One of my top favorite Floyd albums... Jam packed with brilliant musical emotions and chords and notes that brings tears to ones eyes, regardless of the lyrical content. Evidence of pouring your heart &soul to the emotional aspect of creating songs... Brilliant. As brilliant as atom heart mother and abscurd by clouds.... All great Floyd. I hope Roger knows how many fans love this album.❤
The Final Cut has always been my favorite Pink Floyd if I have a favorite. I love every album, but this one really scratches me where I itch. Maybe it's just because you never hear it...love it. Thanks for posting this - never knew there was film
Its weird…i honestly think theres a group of us that just GET and FEEL this album while the rest of the world including the critics can’t fathom. You either do or you don’t..no middle ground.
@@SuchAClassicGirl-dx2ip I love amused to death too. I listen to this album more than I do any other pf album. I love them all but this one is my favourite
It would have been great to film the rest of the songs too! Fantastic album. I don't understand why there are so many angry with this album. It was the naturally follow-up for The Wall. When you have such a great and succesful album as The Wall, you naturally want the next album to share that same style that made The Wall famous. I think all the haters don't realise that they would have liked each song from "The Final Cut" if it would have been on "The Wall".
Most of the negativity came from the fact that Pink Floyd were moving further away from a collaborative team to one man dictating the terms and the rest filling the roll of backing musicians, and not everyone in the band were aligned with the messaging.
The argument was that Roger was a bullying asshole and wanted to tour with the Wall forever but the rest got sick of the same gig year in year out so they had to evolve somehow & yes The Final Cut is a follow on album n a great one at that. Richard Wright was a gent & Nick Mason but angry child Roger stayed eh angry ... Pity.
@@stevengaddis1362Roger the bullying asshole .... Had to get away from hiding behind Roger's Wall ... its his Wall not Pink Floyd's... Ah well it was an unnecessary tantrum that lasted decades ... But Us fans lost out.... i often wonder what could've been. ?
The Final Cut is a bore. The songs aren't anywhere near as interesting at the core songs on The Wall, and Roger's incessant babbling on it just makes me tune it out.
@@jerviejervie2204 i think it is a matter of taste. I still find this albume more interesting than A Momentary Lapse of Reason. Pink Floyd was not only about music, was also about stories.
When I have bottled-up emotions from holding steady for weeks (sometimes men can't vent easily), I'll sit in a dark room and play this album. The instant that 'The Gunner's Dream' begins, I can feel everything inside welling up, and then the saxaphone solo begins. I lose it, the saxaphone sobs for me and release comes. Every time. This ritual started the first time I ever put this vinyl on a turntable in the 80s. It is easily my favorite personal song ever.
Been so long since i saw this, i must have been 16, i am 56 now. It still hits hard. An underrated album. One their best. Thank you bringing back my old me. 🙏🏽
I used to play this on my Walkman on my way to high school. Just like ti did then and still does, there are songs which just make me tear up and stir so many emotions. This is a brilliant album.
i've come to realize what waters meant. his own childhood was stolen from him with the death of his father he never knew.😔 line speaks volumes and the whole album always hits me the hardest.😖😤🍻✌😎
Not just the critics, David Gilmour also. Probably something to with his limited input and where the band where at the time. I personally like it, but there are five or six better studio albums.
The band members, Gilmour and Mason, didn't like this experience. It's a good album, but almost a Waters solo effort. That's why this album is not a favorite for most of the fans.
Some may say that they like it more than the Wall. The Wall was way over played at that time and continued well into the late 80s.But you had to live it then & be listening to the radio. Mostly all Boston Stations. When it came out I was old enough to remember going to the theater & seeing the film. The film stands the test of time. Nothing comes close for films with soundtracks that were created from a film perspective save for The Who & The Beatles. Both the Wall & The Final Cut were well ahead of their times. This Album never received regular air play on any stations that I recall so that makes a big difference with today's perspective as it has never been heard again until you watched it here. Mainstream & Independent radio just didn't play any of it! When you turned on your radio back you just had so much to choose from. Now seeing this again while listening to the story he sings, really blows you away!
I would say it's Roger water's best solo album, but Pink Floyd's worst. Depends how muhc you can endure Roger's 'singing' voice and incessant mourning for his dead dad
Because it was not PF anymore, it was a Roger Waters "solo" album, other members were barely music players. Don't get me wrong, I love the album, but I will repeat, it was not PF anymore, it was a one man show. All members were collaborating for the music before The Wall (yeah yeah, Waters was the lyrics master) but slowly, Waters started to disregard them after Wish You Were Here. Ironically, he became sort of an "authoritarian" with his mates.
Nice to still have the Album & it's an excellent musical masterpiece and the story just plays out while the lyrics give us the imagery to imagine what his thoughts on those old War years ... Someone took all my vinyls when i was away i mean 100's of singles EP's rare Beatles in german album the 1st Square coloured single Joe Jackson,s White Album I'll do time if i catch this lad , i still have a stack Pioneer 1989 stereo n nothing to play on it altho i can use the phone on it via the data button n a double ended jack lead 😅.. Be Lucky.
After living in NY , I returned to my country ; Argentina in1984. Carrying with me the LP the Final Cut. I have had to share with friends and new friends because at that time, some music arrive delayed more than one or two years. All of them were impressed by the lirycs. All were touched because the Falkland -Malvinas Isles were in the song lines. Roger is an advocate of peace and all of his work is related to war due his personal history. I will be 70 years old and since my 16 years I have an instant conexión with PF. I have to say that; the PF music is astounding and the lirycs are real philosophy for my soul. And if sometimes doesn't reach more people is because the low sensibility of who is hearing.
il piu' bel disco dei PF.non importa quello che possono dire presunti critici o esperti del settore. the final cut per me e' il vertice assoluto.grande Roger.
...sono un fan dei PF da moltissimo tempo , aime sono vecchietto, sono d accordo con te il miglior album dei pink ...sottovalutato dai più...ma la voce, i testi e gli assoli di david qui ai massimi livelli!!
I think if you're from a military background or have friends/family that served then this PF album is the most powerful imo. Always get emotional listening to this.
Alex McAvoy didn't even get a credit from Roger for being in this. He was the teacher in "The Wall" film" and played Sunny Jim in the BBC sitcom The Vital Spark
I recommend watching the 2014 concert video of The Wall, for further exploration of makes Roger Waters tick. His grandfather was killed in WWI when his father Eric was 2 yrs old. Mixed with concert video of The Wall in it's entirety Roger makes a pilgrimage to Anzio beach head. Incredible performance. The Final Cut is the continuation & Requiem & soft touchdown landing after the wall is torn down. Incredible lyrics especially on The Gunners Dream!
I do not know why this album is not most known, it's in par with the Wall to me. I'm in my 50s and Pink Floyd is still the most amazing band i ever heard, it give me chills, smiles, sadness, excitment... nothing else that can come in my ears do me so many sensations.
One evening in the summer of 1987, id be going to college in a month or two, i went to the record store in Barrington, Ill. I had fallen in love with the floyd in 86 with the wall and then the other records my friend scott let me listen to. This night i bought Imagine and The Final Cut on vinyl. I took them home and anxiously put Imagine on first. Totally blown away. I had become a total Beatles fan since 86 as well. Then i put on the Final Cut and let me tell you all, i thought it was the best of all pf albums. I took those records to college with me.
Of course thi is a thematic trilogy. What is very interesting is the difference of level of music and composition of Waters with Gilmoour and Mason (and Wright) and Waters without Gilmour and Mason (and Wright). Without his partners, Roger doesn't shine in his solo discos as a totality, only somes songs, but no the entire albums, any more.
The actor playing Maggie Thatcher is the gorgeous Nicolette McKenzie, an old friend from university in NZ. I believe she is well known in England as the voice of the Allegro motorcar, and many, many audiobooks.
Discovery of my life, thank you i never knew this existed .. Got all the albums, all the songs, listened over and over and never knew ... thank you, my Nirvana.
An underrated masterpiece; the first Waters solo album. Fun Fact: Roger very much admired the late John Prine. Roger opens this album with "The Post War Dream," which is a note for note copy of Prine's great song "Sam Stone." I'm fairly certain that it is similar to the George Harrison "My Sweet/He's so fine" incident. They both copied a song but did not so so consciously.
Absolutely a work that takes a different view. Like any PF fan knows is that the work is very individual to us. The music and writing is not understood by everyone,but what it is for me is held close to my heart. What Relics started,I believe this album finished.
Я помню как прийдя домой поставил кассету и надел наушники , я так ждал нового альбома PF и вот наконец я могу его услышать...Мама и папа смотрят телевизор, они ещё живы ...А я до сих пор слушаю ❤😢
Musically it might not be the best Pink Floyd album, but for me it contains Roger Waters' finest lyrics and vocal performances. The words to 'Paranoid Eyes' are just beyond brilliant.
@@chrisbennett1243 The only thing I don't like is having a go Maggie. What was she supposed to do. We need a Maggie today in the UK . Instead of Starmer the idiot.
@@chrisbennett1243after hearing the final cut I was glad Rodger Waters was no longer in pink floyd. When I heard momentary lapse of reason I knew the Pink Floyd I loved was back with no more of that depressing moaning Vera type songs. I will say Rodger Waters amused to death is a masterpiece. After hearing each small candle lights a corner of the dark on his live album I was really hoping for amused to death part 2 type masterpiece for his next album but it was not to be. I returned his last album because it was warped and did not ask for a replacement, got a refund. Did not care for it. I keep trying to like the final cut but not now John is the only song I care for. David gilmour's new album luck and strange sounds absolutely fantastic!
Probably because it may be viewed by a lot of pink Floyd fans as a Roger waters vanity piece with too much of his ‘singing’ and not enough of the signature Pink Floyd sound.
what a talented person has shifted mentally. Either he’s talking to himself, or he belongs in a psychiatric clinic. Does he know better from London what is happening in Palestine? What is this rampant support for cockroaches? it's not clear
Every time I hear the sax solo in the Gunner's Dream I picture the mother bawling her lungs out. At the end of the solo, it sounds like someone blowing her nose after all the crying....
For me, this is their best album.So what if the whole by Waters. It is a beautiful touching album. You can feel all the regrets about losing your father on this album.
I absolutely love this video. Years since I have seen it, I have an original video version, I am going to download this to my phone. Thank you immensely for the memories it's brought back for me. Shine on
Roger Waters' debut solo album, entitled "pink floyd the final cut", featuring David Gilmour on guitars and Nick Mason on drums. That's how it always felt to me and as the years go by it seems it's also how it has always been.
I totally agree, this isn’t a PF album, the Wall is Roger Waters debut album with musicians from the band Pink Floyd, roger is still in 2024 stuck in this, nothing new from him!
Considering that Gilmour and Mason took over the Pink Floyd brand after the band's dissolution, I believe they boycotted the promotion of this film written by Waters about Pink Floyd's last album, which in turn had all the songs composed by Waters. So, on the Pink Floyd website, catalogs, and social networks under the command of Gilmour and Mason, you probably won't find any references to the film The Final Cut, and the album itself would always be in the background... TFC is considered by many critics to be a Waters solo album (hence Gilmour's slight bitterness), and it is in fact a direct sequel to The Wall and a prequel to Pros and Cons... However, Waters also composed all the songs on Animals, and he is the conceptual author of all the themed albums since Dark Side in 1973. I think it's fair to say that Roger Waters was the soul of Pink Floyd after Barrett's departure, until 1983, when the final cut was made!
I spent almost 40 years listening to these songs without knowing this film existed. Maybe thats partly why, to me, these images don't align with the music at all.
Doesn't ally with your imagination as you listened to the music alone. Our brains are like that. Does anybody else here arrange for a few hours off in solitude, smoke a bowl and listen to this and this alone?
I know this not a favourite album for a lot of pink floyd fans but i love this album and i have a mint 1st press copy and yes it does get played a lot and loud
In 2024, you could remake this with modern images of the current global political and social media situations and it would still 100% hold up. The brilliance of great songwriting
A very underrated Album. I keep going back to final cut more than any other PF album. After 40 years it still makes me very emotional.
Same with me, absolutely.
Ditto. When Mr. Waters' voice smoothly segued into a sax solo and I was blown away. ❤
Agreed 100%
The Final Cut song put me in tears. To me, this is the most evocative, emotional song he's ever written.
Wow i loved this album listened to it 50,000 times and never knew this film existed its 2024 now
Me to! Forever learning..
Exactly what I was thinking…..now, where to find it? My collection is not complete.
Myself. Pink Floyd ❤

The fact that it is an absolutely _scathing_ political commentary on 80s British and world politics aside, I think this was really one of their best albums. When I read that they weren't themselves too pleased with it, I find that shocking; it's a _great_ album!
I love. Is the more sentimental and deeply emotional album by Pink Floyd made. The true of the life is inside there
i
This album hits home to me. I can’t help but to get misty eyed when ever I listen to it. I agree it’s one of their greats.
Classical music gives me the urge to cry because of how beautiful it is.
But this makes me want to cry on a very deep and sad level.
This album has helped me through some dark times it feels good embracing those deep thoughts of loneliness, solitude, sadness and trauma. 5/5 album.
Same.
I share a birthday with Roger.
This album was given to me after graduating boot camp in 1986.

Many wont give it a chance because its all instrumentals until the final song.

What a great piece of music, art and social commentary. Pink Floyd's most underrated and most emotional album's. Genius!
My favourite Pink Floyd album
in my 54 years old I can say this is my first time watching the entire video, I have the cd but never seen this before. Wow going back with a hit. thanks for sharing
One of my favourite Roger Waters / Floyd album. A personal masterpiece of an album.
I haven't listened to this album in years but yet I can still sing along, haven't forgotten any of the words at all.
One of my top favorite Floyd albums... Jam packed with brilliant musical emotions and chords and notes that brings tears to ones eyes, regardless of the lyrical content. Evidence of pouring your heart &soul to the emotional aspect of creating songs... Brilliant. As brilliant as atom heart mother and abscurd by clouds.... All great Floyd. I hope Roger knows how many fans love this album.❤
one of the best album's PINK FLOYD
The Final Cut has always been my favorite Pink Floyd if I have a favorite. I love every album, but this one really scratches me where I itch. Maybe it's just because you never hear it...love it. Thanks for posting this - never knew there was film
Its weird…i honestly think theres a group of us that just GET and FEEL this album while the rest of the world including the critics can’t fathom. You either do or you don’t..no middle ground.
@@SuchAClassicGirl-dx2ip I love amused to death too. I listen to this album more than I do any other pf album. I love them all but this one is my favourite
My cousin Chris loved this album. I lost him in 2004. He was only 30.
Already twenty years ago. We just don't know all the connections - yet.
Ich habe meine Nichte 2016 verloren mit 30 bei einem Reitunfall.😭😭😭😭

So underrated a great floyd album
Is it a Floyd album?
@@Wilfried-vh3jd No, it isn't. For a Floyd album you need Rick Wright's soul and the vision.
@@Wilfried-vh3jd Its not
@@Wilfried-vh3jdYes, it is.
@@ilonahesseling4821Then nothing that followed labelled Pink Floyd is Pink Floyd either as it lacks Roger’s creative influence…. The real visionary
It would have been great to film the rest of the songs too! Fantastic album. I don't understand why there are so many angry with this album. It was the naturally follow-up for The Wall. When you have such a great and succesful album as The Wall, you naturally want the next album to share that same style that made The Wall famous. I think all the haters don't realise that they would have liked each song from "The Final Cut" if it would have been on "The Wall".
Most of the negativity came from the fact that Pink Floyd were moving further away from a collaborative team to one man dictating the terms and the rest filling the roll of backing musicians, and not everyone in the band were aligned with the messaging.
The argument was that Roger was a bullying asshole and wanted to tour with the Wall forever but the rest got sick of the same gig year in year out so they had to evolve somehow & yes The Final Cut is a follow on album n a great one at that. Richard Wright was a gent & Nick Mason but angry child Roger stayed eh angry ... Pity.
@@stevengaddis1362Roger the bullying asshole .... Had to get away from hiding behind Roger's Wall ... its his Wall not Pink Floyd's... Ah well it was an unnecessary tantrum that lasted decades ... But Us fans lost out.... i often wonder what could've been. ?
The Final Cut is a bore. The songs aren't anywhere near as interesting at the core songs on The Wall, and Roger's incessant babbling on it just makes me tune it out.
@@jerviejervie2204 i think it is a matter of taste. I still find this albume more interesting than A Momentary Lapse of Reason. Pink Floyd was not only about music, was also about stories.
Absolute masterpiece of an album. I never knew this movie was a thing.
The Final Cut has to be one of the most gut wrenching albums every recorded. I love Pink Floyd.
When I have bottled-up emotions from holding steady for weeks (sometimes men can't vent easily), I'll sit in a dark room and play this album. The instant that 'The Gunner's Dream' begins, I can feel everything inside welling up, and then the saxaphone solo begins. I lose it, the saxaphone sobs for me and release comes. Every time. This ritual started the first time I ever put this vinyl on a turntable in the 80s. It is easily my favorite personal song ever.
I feel your pain. Forever Autumn by the Moody Blues is my go-to when I need to let go. Take care.
Been so long since i saw this, i must have been 16, i am 56 now. It still hits hard. An underrated album. One their best. Thank you bringing back my old me. 🙏🏽
18 😊
I used to play this on my Walkman on my way to high school. Just like ti did then and still does, there are songs which just make me tear up and stir so many emotions. This is a brilliant album.
High school? In England in the 1980s? I think not
“And no one kills the children anymore” tears down the cheek, chills down the spine
i've come to realize what waters meant. his own childhood was stolen from him with the death of his father he never knew.😔 line speaks volumes and the whole album always hits me the hardest.😖😤🍻✌😎
It's 2024. israel is killing children
I never understood why critics said this was the worst album PF made. It’s amazingly written.
Not just the critics, David Gilmour also. Probably something to with his limited input and where the band where at the time. I personally like it, but there are five or six better studio albums.
The band members, Gilmour and Mason, didn't like this experience. It's a good album, but almost a Waters solo effort. That's why this album is not a favorite for most of the fans.
Some may say that they like it more than the Wall. The Wall was way over played at that time and continued well into the late 80s.But you had to live it then & be listening to the radio. Mostly all Boston Stations. When it came out I was old enough to remember going to the theater & seeing the film. The film stands the test of time. Nothing comes close for films with soundtracks that were created from a film perspective save for The Who & The Beatles. Both the Wall & The Final Cut were well ahead of their times. This Album never received regular air play on any stations that I recall so that makes a big difference with today's perspective as it has never been heard again until you watched it here. Mainstream & Independent radio just didn't play any of it! When you turned on your radio back you just had so much to choose from.
Now seeing this again while listening to the story he sings, really blows you away!
I would say it's Roger water's best solo album, but Pink Floyd's worst. Depends how muhc you can endure Roger's 'singing' voice and incessant mourning for his dead dad
Because it was not PF anymore, it was a Roger Waters "solo" album, other members were barely music players. Don't get me wrong, I love the album, but I will repeat, it was not PF anymore, it was a one man show. All members were collaborating for the music before The Wall (yeah yeah, Waters was the lyrics master) but slowly, Waters started to disregard them after Wish You Were Here. Ironically, he became sort of an "authoritarian" with his mates.
This album is very profound most people don't get it, but then again it's for those who do get it.
im with you brian, does not really get any better than this , roger is a genius ,
I did not know that this movie existed 😲 fantastic album! 💌
One of my favourite albums of all time 👌🏻
this Album is a Masterpiece, so underrated.
I absolutely agree!
Hot Garbage
I bought THE FINAL CUT the day it was released and this is my first time seeing this video…
Nice to still have the Album & it's an excellent musical masterpiece and the story just plays out while the lyrics give us the imagery to imagine what his thoughts on those old War years ... Someone took all my vinyls when i was away i mean 100's of singles EP's rare Beatles in german album the 1st Square coloured single Joe Jackson,s White Album I'll do time if i catch this lad , i still have a stack Pioneer 1989 stereo n nothing to play on it altho i can use the phone on it via the data button n a double ended jack lead 😅.. Be Lucky.
Same here.
Ditto - but I would rather have never seen it as it’s disturbing rubbish.
me too.
The album is truly a masterpiece. And yes, I didn't know this existed until now. So glad I found it.
After living in NY , I returned to my country ; Argentina in1984.
Carrying with me the LP the Final Cut. I have had to share with friends and new friends because at that time, some music arrive delayed more than one or two years.
All of them were impressed by the lirycs. All were touched because the Falkland -Malvinas Isles were in the song lines.
Roger is an advocate of peace and all of his work is related to war due his personal history.
I will be 70 years old and since my 16 years I have an instant conexión with PF.
I have to say that; the PF music is astounding and the lirycs are real philosophy for my soul. And if sometimes doesn't reach more people is because the low sensibility of who is hearing.
This really is Floyd's masterpiece being a veteren this album hits on a whole nother level.
il piu' bel disco dei PF.non importa quello che possono dire presunti critici o esperti del settore. the final cut per me e' il vertice assoluto.grande Roger.
...sono un fan dei PF da moltissimo tempo , aime sono vecchietto, sono d accordo con te il miglior album dei pink ...sottovalutato dai più...ma la voce, i testi e gli assoli di david qui ai massimi livelli!!
If I'm being honest, The Final Cut is my favorite PF album. It sparked a life long obsession with history and the 2nd World War.
Have you seen Ken Burns documentary call The War?
Really this is your fav Pink Floyd record Animals is a much better record on society and the fucked up state of this world
A masterpiece
A big fan from pakistan
🙋♂🙌😁✌😎
1985 brought me here for the old day memories. 🌿✌️
I think if you're from a military background or have friends/family that served then this PF album is the most powerful imo. Always get emotional listening to this.
pink floyd fan since i was 14, 63 now, only just found this film
Alex McAvoy didn't even get a credit from Roger for being in this. He was the teacher in "The Wall" film" and played Sunny Jim in the BBC sitcom The Vital Spark
wow.. had no idea this even existed.. the fletcher memorial home is one of my top 5 favorite songs...
Only Roger would open a song with "Fuck all that..."
The man is my idol. A true legend
and then release it as the first single😃 to pizz off the record execs.😤 ha freakin ha😂🍻😁✌😎
I recommend watching the 2014 concert video of The Wall, for further exploration of makes Roger Waters tick. His grandfather was killed in WWI when his father Eric was 2 yrs old. Mixed with concert video of The Wall in it's entirety Roger makes a pilgrimage to Anzio beach head. Incredible performance. The Final Cut is the continuation & Requiem & soft touchdown landing after the wall is torn down. Incredible lyrics especially on The Gunners Dream!
Well done! Thanks for reminder. Love this stuff. Love this stuff
I do not know why this album is not most known, it's in par with the Wall to me.
I'm in my 50s and Pink Floyd is still the most amazing band i ever heard, it give me chills, smiles, sadness, excitment... nothing else that can come in my ears do me so many sensations.
I agree, it`s the album I listen to the most, I wore out 2 tapes but now I have the CD. It`s a brilliant album, really tells a story.
One evening in the summer of 1987, id be going to college in a month or two, i went to the record store in Barrington, Ill. I had fallen in love with the floyd in 86 with the wall and then the other records my friend scott let me listen to.
This night i bought Imagine and The Final Cut on vinyl.
I took them home and anxiously put Imagine on first. Totally blown away. I had become a total Beatles fan since 86 as well.
Then i put on the Final Cut and let me tell you all, i thought it was the best of all pf albums. I took those records to college with me.
I’ve always considered THE WALL, THE FINAL CUT and THE PROS AND CONS OF HITCHHIKING as three chapters of the same book.
Same here, I have listened to all three back to back and I feel like it’s definitely part of a larger story, intentional or not
It's all Radio Kaos to me...
Sería una trilogía perfecta
Of course thi is a thematic trilogy. What is very interesting is the difference of level of music and composition of Waters with Gilmoour and Mason (and Wright) and Waters without Gilmour and Mason (and Wright). Without his partners, Roger doesn't shine in his solo discos as a totality, only somes songs, but no the entire albums, any more.
@@CTree.Po. Some great songs on kaos
Have had this album since 1983, Its one of my favorites
"The Final Cut": is the best double entendre ever.
Gunner's Dream almost immediately makes me tear up.
I sitll have this VHS.
the whole album rocks the onions😢 but absolutely nuffin wrong with that😤🍻😁✌😎
Wow how great is this.
The actor playing Maggie Thatcher is the gorgeous Nicolette McKenzie, an old friend from university in NZ. I believe she is well known in England as the voice of the Allegro motorcar, and many, many audiobooks.
Discovery of my life, thank you i never knew this existed .. Got all the albums, all the songs, listened over and over and never knew ... thank you, my Nirvana.
WOW... This is as deep as Pink Floyd gets, 50 years in. Invincible
41 years
An underrated masterpiece; the first Waters solo album. Fun Fact: Roger very much admired the late John Prine. Roger opens this album with "The Post War Dream," which is a note for note copy of Prine's great song "Sam Stone." I'm fairly certain that it is similar to the George Harrison "My Sweet/He's so fine" incident. They both copied a song but did not so so consciously.
PINK FLOYD IS DEFINITELY THE GREATEST BAND EVER EVER🏆
Brilliant album and brilliant Roger walters
this is a level of Genius the word hasnt even got close to catch up with
🤔🏆😁🍻✌😎
What a good job you've done.
I love you. I had the VHS but I lost it. there were snippets on TH-cam but never the full video
Absolutely a work that takes a different view. Like any PF fan knows is that the work is very individual to us. The music and writing is not understood by everyone,but what it is for me is held close to my heart. What Relics started,I believe this album finished.
Я помню как прийдя домой поставил кассету и надел наушники , я так ждал нового альбома PF и вот наконец я могу его услышать...Мама и папа смотрят телевизор, они ещё живы ...А я до сих пор слушаю ❤😢
Это лучшие воспоминания в нашей жизни,когда живы родители и наша Родина СССР…!!!
Дааааа..!!!! Купил кассету пиратскую в 91м году.. не на чем было слушать(
❤
Love this Album !!! 😢
Musically it might not be the best Pink Floyd album, but for me it contains Roger Waters' finest lyrics and vocal performances. The words to 'Paranoid Eyes' are just beyond brilliant.
Listening to this abum since 1983 and never knew it was a movie.
Thank you, Roger!
the final cut was so relatable in my life when it came out a infantry soldier in Europe at the height of the cold war. Roger is a lyrical genius
Bloody great music. Thank you so much god. Got me Dr dre headphones on full blast.. 2020 second lockdown uk. Worlds in a state. But music is great.
Very underrated album. I've always liked it. Never understood the hate for it.
Most of it does nothing for me except Not now John that annoys me for its contempt of the working class. But hey ho each to his own.
@@chrisbennett1243 The only thing I don't like is having a go Maggie. What was she supposed to do. We need a Maggie today in the UK . Instead of Starmer the idiot.
@@chrisbennett1243after hearing the final cut I was glad Rodger Waters was no longer in pink floyd. When I heard momentary lapse of reason I knew the Pink Floyd I loved was back with no more of that depressing moaning Vera type songs. I will say Rodger Waters amused to death is a masterpiece. After hearing each small candle lights a corner of the dark on his live album I was really hoping for amused to death part 2 type masterpiece for his next album but it was not to be. I returned his last album because it was warped and did not ask for a replacement, got a refund. Did not care for it. I keep trying to like the final cut but not now John is the only song I care for. David gilmour's new album luck and strange sounds absolutely fantastic!
Probably because it may be viewed by a lot of pink Floyd fans as a Roger waters vanity piece with too much of his ‘singing’ and not enough of the signature Pink Floyd sound.
A great plot line and actors and song writing. In the space between the heavens and the corner of some foreign field I had a dream
Gracias por subir esta película. Un placer escuchar a Waters, siempre comprometido con las injusticias de nuestro mundo. Saludos de Argentina
My father and brother love this record so much.
what a talented person has shifted mentally. Either he’s talking to himself, or he belongs in a psychiatric clinic. Does he know better from London what is happening in Palestine? What is this rampant support for cockroaches? it's not clear
Absolutely amazing album. Waters rules! Listen to this most days. Gets me through.
Perfect lyrics and display of the insanity of the simulation we live in. Idk how any of them stayed sane.
Every time I hear the sax solo in the Gunner's Dream I picture the mother bawling her lungs out. At the end of the solo, it sounds like someone blowing her nose after all the crying....
For me, this is their best album.So what if the whole by Waters. It is a beautiful touching album. You can feel all the regrets about losing your father on this album.
I'll add another vote: Best, Most Intense and Moving Pink Floyd Album...
I absolutely love this video. Years since I have seen it, I have an original video version, I am going to download this to my phone. Thank you immensely for the memories it's brought back for me. Shine on
The words are superfluous. Perfectly!
Roger Waters' debut solo album, entitled "pink floyd the final cut", featuring David Gilmour on guitars and Nick Mason on drums. That's how it always felt to me and as the years go by it seems it's also how it has always been.
Exactly !
He should be thankful Gilmour was there, it would be less of an album without him. Solo on Not Now John in particular is blinding.
I totally agree, this isn’t a PF album, the Wall is Roger Waters debut album with musicians from the band Pink Floyd, roger is still in 2024 stuck in this, nothing new from him!
@@Cheva-Pate I dunno. Amused to Death is a brilliant album.
@@subrosa4792that album is a masterpiece better then any Pink Floyd album after he left
“I held the blade, with trembling hand, prepared to make it but, never had the nerve to make the Final Cut”
Amazing
Considering that Gilmour and Mason took over the Pink Floyd brand after the band's dissolution, I believe they boycotted the promotion of this film written by Waters about Pink Floyd's last album, which in turn had all the songs composed by Waters. So, on the Pink Floyd website, catalogs, and social networks under the command of Gilmour and Mason, you probably won't find any references to the film The Final Cut, and the album itself would always be in the background...
TFC is considered by many critics to be a Waters solo album (hence Gilmour's slight bitterness), and it is in fact a direct sequel to The Wall and a prequel to Pros and Cons... However, Waters also composed all the songs on Animals, and he is the conceptual author of all the themed albums since Dark Side in 1973. I think it's fair to say that Roger Waters was the soul of Pink Floyd after Barrett's departure, until 1983, when the final cut was made!
I spent almost 40 years listening to these songs without knowing this film existed. Maybe thats partly why, to me, these images don't align with the music at all.
Doesn't ally with your imagination as you listened to the music alone. Our brains are like that. Does anybody else here arrange for a few hours off in solitude, smoke a bowl and listen to this and this alone?
this is perfection... this IS THEIR BEST ALBUM...
i liked syd, but the best think for PF was him loosing his shit..
You make it sound as if you could had been any other way ...
I love this album and it proves to me and many more that Roger never needed David. Thats for all the great memories and experiences
I know this not a favourite album for a lot of pink floyd fans but i love this album and i have a mint 1st press copy and yes it does get played a lot and loud
Thank you!
It was a time when I was listening to this album every night. It's not a a best PF album but for me It's in a top three.
In 2024, you could remake this with modern images of the current global political and social media situations and it would still 100% hold up. The brilliance of great songwriting
Pink Floyd should have got a Nobel Prize for this, and for all their music. Well, Bob Dylan got one...
That should make it evident why PF didn’t get it. Look who gets the NPP.. it’s always a liberal idiot.
I am not 100 % sure, but
I guess the rules are: only
PERSONS (individuals)
Maybe Roger has a chance,
as he was the ONLY lyricist
in Pink Floyd
Thanks for posting.
Th Final Cut. Wow!
Tragically still relevant today more than ever
