+1 must see cult movie

two copies of the Comfortably Numb solo played at the same time, offset by 15 seconds. Gilmour's phrasing is amazing.

^ Nice!

The Wall is definitely in my top 5 ever...incredible!

This analysis is a fun read....

The Wall was the 3rd album I owned, the first was Michael Jackson's Thriller when I was 6 and Def Leppard's Hysteria when I was 10. I discovered The Wall while me and my best friend at the time were flipping through his older brother's record collection. The cover art drew me in and the music was astounding -- I was 11 at the time and simply had heard nothing that was so beautiful, morose, soothing and tumultuous all at once. I remember thinking to myself that this was the first time I'd ever heard an artist sing about something that wasn't superficial but rather, something real and imperfect like the human condition tends to be, and it made me realize that there was definitely a difference between most of the music out there, and the music that I enjoyed. Of course, little did I know that Pink Floyd was one of the most popular bands ever and that The Wall was one of the best-selling records of all time, but even then I suppose that just illuminates exactly how perfect they got that record, to where so many people could buy it and love it.

Pink Floyd encouraged me to explore music. It was because of Richard Wright that I fell in love in electronica, because of Gilmour that I learned to understand what made a musician great, and because of Waters that I would admire in general music that wore its emotions on its sleeves more so than silly, whimsical party record (though I do love many that would fit into that category). And even though I rarely listen to Pink Floyd these days I'm grateful to them, they pretty much shaped me as a musician, and a patron of the arts.

Back in the day, I lived in rural Ohio on a state route, pretty much out in the country but on the main road. I had a small get together one night, about 10 friends, and we took a rather large television outside (36" or so), in the side yard, ran an extension cord, hooked up the vcr threw in The Wall on vhs..laid blankets down and watched it under the stars, had an amazing time, oh yeah, did I mention LSD...
ahhh...those were THE days..

did I mention LSD

No, I did not.

great album and very cool movie

Are you saying that Pour Some Sugar On Me is superficial?

Nope, that song is as real and intense as it gets.

Pink Floyd is definitely the only super group that I love almost every thing they did.
Animals is my #1, but the Wall is close. Goodbye Blue Skies is short and still one of my all time favorite songs, along with Conformably Numb>

agreed. Animals is teh awesome. I still remember where I was when I first heard the guitar solo to Dogs, it was a religious experience.

I'm just stoked that The Wall is on youtube in its entirety in hi-Q.


not as cool or in Hi-Quality, Tommy the Who Concert is in there in its entirety.

I just noticed recently that on Dogs they ran the sound of dogs barking through a vocoder. Brilliant!
