This was really well done. I have always considered The Wall to be the finest concept album ever made. Pink Floyd was at the height of their creativity and musicianship. I would give a lot to be able to go back and see it live with the original members when it came out.
I'm a lucky guy, I saw Pink Floyd in '75 & '77. Roger Waters in '86 and Gilmour's Pink Floyd in '87 outside in the pouring rain. Some of my favorite concerts...
I was there, waaay back in the rafters. It sounded and looked great from there and apart from Roger balling out the audience, it didn't seem like anything was amiss. To that point, it was the greatest concert I'd ever seen.
I was also there way up in the rafters, but I remember the sound not being good. I wasn't aware of the spitting incident until I read about it years later.
I was born and raised in Montreal about 5 minutes from the Olympic Stadium. I used to toboggan down the hill that the stadium was built on. Didn't get to that infamous concert but I remember hearing about it. Those were amazing times. I feel bad for kids today, not much good music to get excited about and a world that going to hell!
Thanks for including me! Great work as always.
@@WrayEllis Thanks Wray!! Love your commentary!
Excellent work.cheers
This is the band that has been in my life since I bought my first album that was the newly released Dark Side of the moon I will always love the way they helped guide me through my life ❤️
I was fortunate enough to see this Live In Concert, and a ton of others! What a Ride It was!
This was awesome. Pink Floyd are a great band. Cheers!

YOU!! 👆😂
My meat has white pudding
@@Realmphukng YYEESS YOU
@@richardupton3323 STAND STILL LADDIE!!!
@@Realmphukng poems no less, the laddie reckons himself a poet.
born and lived in Montreal for 58 yrs. Seen Floyd perform twice & Waters once.
Has always been an odd feeling of pride that such powerhouse album was partly influenced by Water's & Gilmour's experience of surreal chaos at the Big-O
David Gilmour remembers the performance as a bad gig and he had equipment malfunctioning and also hit many bad notes on the performance
I was in Basic Training at Fort Dix on that faithful day of the infamous spit.
Awesome band wish they would have kept going
For me, the closest I have ever experience Pink Floyd was when they premiered the movie, The Wall, in the newly opened Experimental Cinema here in Manila, Philippines. And it blew our minds!
lol..Another great thing to happen on my birthday! (6 July) along with Lennon meeting McCartney and both Henry I and Edward VI and Louis Armstrong dying
~~ for many older fans - the 'Animals' record is preferred over 'The Wall' - but that's not taking anything away from The Wall - a record does not sell over 30 million copies by accident - but The Wall did perhaps suffer from overplay on FM radio - and the film would have been much better if the original concept of a concert film had been done - a real film maker & crew made 'Live at Pompeii' a decade earlier - so one or more of the original Wall performances could have been filmed properly if the right people had done it ..
was there on the floor near the middle sound was good
Merci beaucoup.
The wall is the wall we build around our selves.
A good father loves all of his sons equally. The same goes to Pink Floyd albuns. Love them all! Long live Pink Floyd!
A father is one who creates. You didn't create squat, let alone the Pink Floyd albuns, so shut up about "father's" love. You're nothing but a fan, and fans are pathetic creatures.
These guys were great, but they could have taken a page from RUSH! Keep the egos out of the band business!
Pink Floyd é uma paixão avassaladora!! Amo David,mais Roger é o cara
To this day nobody seems to know who that particular fan was.
By a happy coincidence this video also came out on the 6th of July. 😜
Rajotte's not dead. It was his birthday 3 days ago.
@@frankievallium My bad, I misread the title in the papers.
9m 54s
It still sounds like Roger says "Come back Pig" to me, not "Kid".
I wonder why the guy who was spat at, has never come forward?
i often wonder that.
Legend has it that a few years after the Floyd fiasco, he went to GnR show and taunted Axl Rose, who understably plunged into the audience and beat the clown into a coma, where he lamely lies to this day. That might be it.
14:13 Kurt Loder, best-suited for MTV (“money for nothing;chicks for free”), wasn’t the only clueless critic. I remember reading a critique of The Wall in a new avante garde college publication that a friend produced. The piece was written by this dude who clearly didn’t understand the album. I thought from the start the album had “1984” images all over it.
Love the music. Hate the man..
All the old rock stars love playing live now that the income from record and CD sales have evaporated.
~~ that is one thing that has not changed - most bands make their money by playing live as much as they can stand - and even back in the 60's / 70's it was that way for many seemingly successful bands - some of it was they had bad record deals and poor management - but only a select few like Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin & Floyd made a lot of money from record sales ..
The spit was during Money. There's footage of it. In that recording he's talking to the pig as he frequently did in other concerts.
It was during Pigs (Three Different Ones).
Money was the encore to which Gilmour did not take part. Snowey white played and sang it while Gilmour sat at the mixing console because he was angry with the way the audience was during the performance
Don't be ashamed about that (spitting on the audience) Roger, you have done way worse after that
So true.
Take it, you have an axe to grind ?
Are you one of those strange folk who think Jewish people can do no wrong?
Every race on earth have some bad traits, but god forbid me if I were to point out Jewish people's faults, so does that now make me anti-Semitic ?
Thing is, Roger yes, might have been a bit of a bully, but the facts are, no one else at the time had anything to contribute and Richard Wright was sacked because of his drug use, which was causing a lot of problems.
Yes, you're right, it was ricks cocaine addiction and his infidelity that rubbed roger up the wrong way...
His insanity is starting to glare. Great musician!!! Not so for a man.
☃️
the wall was about syd but why would they lie about what it was about ?
😐😐😐
It was about Waters life not Syd it had references to Syd like elastic bands keeping my shoes on
That's my sexy looking babe Roger Waters and band.they was great back then Roger still is the greatest to me. I seen that concert back then.
AC/DC did great stuff until 1981, and it was done. Then only BS (even Thunderstruck).
Many Others the same. (For example Dire Straits after 1986)
And split : almost every band. Beatles, Doors, Led Zep, Genesis, Soundgarden, etc.
And it happened to Pink Floyd too :
After 1981, nothing. Neither the album Final Cut, nor the solo stuff of both Waters or Gilmour, nor the stuff of PFloyd later without Waters.
That’s the sad truth. The personality of Waters (Plutonian in astrology, which is like a Scorpio) became too dominant, obsessive, possessive, passionate, egotistical, competitive, extreme, aggressive, cruel, destructive, morbid, etc.
And it was done. He killed PF as a good Plutonian Hadès, god of the death and transformation.
Everything must die.
Sad
We miss the AcDc and PF of the 70’s ! It was huge. Never be repeated.
If you look at bands who followed, like Rolling Stones or the Cure, and others, they always did great things until a certain date and it was done. RS until 1987 and Cure until 1992. All what came after was bad. Some last longer, like REM or U2 or Sting, but even them have reached their peak long ago. Society has changed too and changed them of course. Today is really hard. Just look at Coldplay associating with the stupid Korean boys band BTS… what the…
Hats off to Roger Waters, I guess....The man who broke up Pink Floyd and who hasn't had an original music idea since 1981. As you can tell, I'm pro-Gilmour.
The Division Bell in 93 was good - High Hopes
So who gives a fuck…
This is not even close to being thier best album. 13 tracks. Three are slight variations of the same song (Another Brick...). That leaves 10. Then you got exactly three tracks that are actually fleshed out as full and good songs - Young Lust, Hey You and Comfortably Numb. That leaves seven tracks of filler, which is over 50% of the total number of tracks. Ha, ha - charade you are (if you believe the hype. Dark Side..., Wish You Were Here and Animals are all much, much better. I would also take A Momentary Lapse of Reason, The DIvision Bell and Meddle before The Wall. Matter of fact, ANY FLoyd studio album - save for the first 2-3 "finding their feet" psychedelic albums. The problem was Waters - like a lot of guys he was at his best when collaborating with the right people. Then it all went to his head and we got crapola like... the Floyd albums after Animals but before he left, and his solo junk. We were all his psychotherapists - except WE paid to buy and listen to the albums with his garbage on it instead of him going to a true therapist like people do.
In respect to the wall album you are somewhat correct.What is lost in some of your opinions is that The Wall performed live,especially Roger's latest version is a visual and musical accomplishment.It is best viewed live now as compared to the early 80s.Not withstanding there are some so so cuts that musically speaking,don't make the cut.
I was at an original Wall show in 1980. Greatest show on earth! Saw them on the 1973 DSOTM tour as well a 1975 Concert.
…and all the songs/poems/rants did not make it on the album. I dunno, however crude and unfinished and spit-polished the forgotten work was, I definitely heard some gems that (I think, anyway) should have been added to regular radio rotation. Sure, alot of the “fluff” could have been omitted, too. The band continuing without Roger was great, but what could it have been with him still intact? And what could they have been/done if Syd never left?
In your misguided opinion.
And what if Waters therapized pre DSOTM? I'm a fan of his musically however personally he is an instigator of anything that might trigger you. A narcissist's narcissist to the Nth degree. A hypocrite. I have found the most disturbed artist are very successful because they appeal to those things inside of all of us we don't have the balls to put on display for all to shame and critique
I never understood Pink Floyds success, puts me to sleep. Not rock music.
I don't understand why people need repetitive beats, they bore me to tears.
😢
man o man... 45 yrs if music immersion... this is my ultimate, ofc ending at the wall. barrett or macgilmour incarnations. the progression of, the anger of and the confrontational presentations about the (M)asses. making money hand over fist in mere moments then waiting for the time of day when the color of the sky was about to run thru the pastel spectrum to drop hero amounts of setas mágicas to have their music and words reaffirm the necessity to amass resources for escape velocity. --- yes yes, the doors are wide wide open for chowderheads to assuage their own conditions by uhm, i guess attack is the simplest word, attacking what i have said. no band has ever dropped on the societal structures better than this.
My most hated album of all time not just pink Floyd but everyone ever!
Really? I can think of many worse albums by worse artists. It's all relative and subjective; a simple matter of opinion and taste. My opinion: You're probably a Nickleback and/or a Creed fan. 🤣
Pink Floyd is Roger Waters
