  • I still recall having a friendly argument with a girl who called herself "the know all of Pink Floyd" and she thought or was sure of it, that there was/is an official release of THE ORIGINAL FLOYD performing this live on DVD.

  • How come this isn't on DVD?

  • omg RICK SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME! LMAOO

  • I saw this on television a few years ago. It was on one of the movie channels. It blew my mind to learn that it had never officially been released. I have no idea how they got away with showing it on tv.

  • Pink. Mother. Fucking. Floyd.

  • So, are they singing in the background, and the people in maskes just lipsyncing?

  • @tff1293 yeah pretty much i just noticed now that its the surragate band wearing masks

  • thanks man .

  • How in the world did you get this footage...GREAT stuff here.

  • Comment removed

  • Does anyone know whos on drums on In The Flesh? Because it's not possible that Nick Mason's hair is THAT curly...

  • organ too loud, cd better

  • @Screamerific You dumbass.

  • @Pixelgamer555 have you even heard the "is there anybody out there:the wall live 1979-1980" cd before dumbass.

  • Bello.

    Y sublime.

    Viva Pink Floyd.!

  • Who the fuck "doesn't like" ???

    Thank you so much for putting this online, this is very rare... The year I was born.

  • Fucking amazing. I had no idea this footage existed. This is the kind of thing I dream about.

  • @friginator for this being the original audio it sounds amazing for when it was recoreded i also think people my age should listen to more music like this not just the floyd but led zep and black sabbath and other bands

  • @friginator yh true i think the bricks in rogers tour were actually bigger looking at it and it wlso had premade sections but a giant schoolmaster would be awsome but scary at the same time whenever someone walks past ur house have 'you yes you stand still laddy' lol play over a loud speaker lol and also is this the original soundtrack from the concert or is it from is there anybody out there cd

  • @ThePinkfloyd1969 This is the original audio, as far as I know, except for the introduction, which seems to be from the "Is There Anybody Out There" CD.

  • @friginator personaly i would have taken the whole of the puppets with me of the mother and the wife but im not sure i think the bricks are used in rogers 90 tour of the wall i could be wrong tho also where are or who has the latex masks ??

  • @ThePinkfloyd1969 The masks showed up on the artwork for later albums, so someone kept them, but I doubt they reused the same bricks ten years later, for Roger Waters' Berlin show. The bricks used in Berlin were, I'm pretty sure, a different size and made to fit together differently. But yeah, having a Giant Inflatable Schoolmaster floating above my house would be amazing.

  • throughout the whole of this show u gotta feel sorry for the crew it must have been hard

  • @ThePinkfloyd1969 If I had been part of the crew, I would have taken a couple bricks home once the show was over. I know the Pink doll went to Gerald Scarfe, but you have to wonder what happened to all of those bricks.

  • What memories, I was at that consert aged 16, my first ever live show. I have been waiting all this time hoping they would release a video, and nowadays a DVD. A strange thing happened in '94 when I worked on the Delicate Sound Of Thunder show in Eals Court, pulling down the PA system. I met David Gilmour back stage and shook his hand. Great memories. Thank you for uploading this footage, my 31yr quest is over.

  • was lucky enough to see the original wall in 79, was 19 blew me away

  • 3:52 yoink!

  • In 'In the Flesh' the drummer doesnt look like Nick, the guitar player with a gibson is not David and seems Roger (or someone) is wearing a mask. Is it correct ?

  • @fg1998 Yeah, they're people in masks for the first song. The drummer ("Nick") is Willie Wilson, the guitarist ("David") is really Snowy White, the singer ("Roger") is really Andy Bown, and the keyboardist ("Richard") is really Peter Woods.

  • @fg1998 Yeah, it's correct. It's the "surrogate band" of Pinky !!!

  • Because they were sent along as a surrogate band.

  • @fg1998

    They are the "Surrogate Band" (as mentioned in the song)...

  • Interesting fact, does anyone her kno that the people on that stage was not actually the real band members, they had life masks on to look like floyd, they did that in a few of there concerts, look closley at there faces, if u kno what floyd really looks like, you would kno this is not them

  • Amazing.. and even more amazing is the fact that they were not on speaking terms while playing this...

  • i am a hardcore/metalhead and its been a few years since ive listen to pink floyd but man does it feel like heaven getting back to what started my progression to where my taste in music is at today i seriously LITERALLY fell asleep to the wall last night

  • I OWN THIS LIVE CD!!! FUK YA!!!!!!

    PINK FLOYD FOREVER!

  • best pink floyd shows in the world: the wall live 1980(earls court count), the wall live in berlin 1990(potsdamer platz), pulse live in 1994(earls court count again) and the pink floyd reunion in 2006

  • I hate being born 16 years late.... at least i saw Roger do his version, which was great

  • I really want to find out what's behind his cold eyes. :P

  • Just went and saw the Wall here with roger waters !! at the honda center!

  • @raine0acid me too man where did you sit? :D

  • @iamacookie6 i was on the right side of the stage.. like mid kinda on 2nd floor... just super stoned.. That solo that the guitarist did was amazing. 10/10 concert i had so much fun.

  • I love how they just cut the dude off at the beginning. Kind of like "Move prick they're here for us."

  • im seeing waters later on today!

    its gonna be so badass!

  • My dad went to that concert, I wish I did. :(

    Where did you get the video of the concert? I must get this.

  • saw waters last night...was awesome!!!!

  • I just saw The Wall live in Columbus Oct.22, it was freakin great!, the intermission was about 20 min long,have fun man!

  • this fucking awesome show must be reconverted on dvd

  • if there was no official release, then how did you get your hands on this one?

  • the airplaine part around the middle was the most epic. gave me goosebumps xD

  • i have to wait 8 more months for roger to come to london, the closest i've come to seeing the wall performed live was when the australian pink floyd toured, gona be such an experience seeing a surviving member of pf and if I'm lucky see gilmour join in for comfortable numb, life would be so perfect

  • I'm going tonight. I won't be this excited when i have my first kid.

  • the band that opens the show in the first song is not Pink Floyd: they are The Bleeding Hearts, using masks of floyd members (which I guess should be the masks of the album art of the live album "Is anybody out there?") Roger Waters sings the song with his voice in off

  • @ezequielhm Technically, these were just backing and/or paid musicians known as "The Surrogate Band", (who were replaced by The Scorpions in the 1990 show). The Bleeding Hearts were (and still are, I believe) the backing band for Roger Waters. Snowy White (who impersonates David Gilmour in this video) and Peter Wood (who impersonates Richard Wright in this video), later joined The Bleeding Hearts, but in 1981 they just worked for Pink Floyd.

  • @friginator hey, thanks for the info!

  • "please no fireworks" haha I'm sure that came directly from Roger :-p

  • @jwild611 Yeah, they could have also said "No requesting 'Careful With That Axe Eugene, lest ye shall be spit upon."

  • Most likely, I'd say.

  • wow...i can't believe how epic this is...too bad I was born 13 years too late...

  • @MJCaboose5akaKirby I was born 5 years too late myself, but on October 30th I'm finally going to see it live.

  • @friginator `U AINT GONNA SEE NOTHIN LIKE THIS MY FRIEND, SORRY.

  • @friginator dude nice

  • @friginator It will be the greatest concert of your life garunteed

  • @friginator Hey thanks for numbering these vids makes it easy to follow, that was great. Have a good time in KC tomorrow night the how. Saw all three shows while he was in Boston frigging amazing lots of pyrotecs to start off with.

  • @friginator im seeing roger waters on the december 13 its going to be baddass

  • @friginator

    Hey '85 buddy! Same here, but the 21st March in Lisbon! Epic incarnate!!! : D

  • @MJCaboose5akaKirby Same here. :/

  • They sent them along ,as a surrogate band *_*

  • On October 29 I am going to Roger waters perform it LIVE!!

  • Great seeing it after having played the "is there anybody out there"-cd's to death.But my god it is dark.No wonder they are simmering over whether to release it or not.I read an interview with the director of these shots Alan Parker who deemed it too dark and gloomy for release.Now i see his point.But if they could swing the magic production-wand over it and brighten it up a little,we might get to see it in the future.Still the greatest thing they ever did.Thanks for sharing.

  • @mivsenowner The official footage isn't as dark, but unfortunately it's never been seen or realeased to the public.

  • @mivsenowner i think they should just release it the way it is.....no magic wand to brighten it up a little, afterall, this is supposed to be dark and gloomy, and everyone goes through it. hell, Waters pulled through it. i bet it was hard but he got through.

  • Greatest Album ever!

  • una muestra de que solo los buenos tocan musica digna de escucharse y admirarse.

    espero que el show que presentara Roger Waters en Las Vegas deje un buen sabor de boca, y sin duda lo hara.

    majestuoso espectaculo. saludos

  • FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!

  • Youtube is great because of things like this.

  • this is part one of 16? wow! how long is this song?

  • @thatmetalfan666 It's an album.

  • @thatmetalfan666 Its a concert its like this the whole concert like Bisbosh said there behind the fucking wall haha

  • they're behind a wall for fucks sake

  • @Samisnorris Pink Floyd in the 70's and still today are a faceless band that means that people might know the music very well but they didnt know who were the people behind Pink Floyd so the idea was that they are so faceless that they have someone else one stage playing for them that no one would see the difference. I'm not sure if the story is very much this but of course the lyrics a basicly describing what is happening ;D sorry for the bad english xD

  • @crazydudept You're talking rubbish mate! If you took the time to read a little you'd realise just how epic the band were and still are.

  • @PaulieMafia AHAHA And you sir are an idiot, have a good day

  • desde septiembre 15 de 2010 nuevamente by roger waters

  • fuck yeah im going to see this live in dallas texas on september 21 2010

  • The musicians you see at the beginning are the "surrogate band" You see them through out the concert.

  • The surrogate band is not them,but after"In the Flesh"it IS Pink Floyd.

  • They had people wearing face masks of the real band, and thats why on the cover of Is There Anybody Out There?: The Wall Live 1980-81 it has the bands "faces" on it

  • It says in the special edition book for the wall with the live cd's that the band at the start with the masks on where not the floyd. The Guitarist was Snowy White. Pink floyd did show up though.

  • im goin 2 c rogers waters the wall tour in d o2 in dublin .4 me rogers waters is pink ffloyd and i have listened 2 this album at least once a wk since 1988

  • simply awsome. Nothing better.

  • I wish that they used better cameras at this!

  • That is really them, not hard to tell by looking at them, unless these guys had plastic surgery LOL I know what they look like and those are no actors!

  • It's friggin AWESOME that this show's being put on again at the end of the year by the very same Roger Waters! I got my dough ready to get my tickets, I don't care how much they are.

  • When the band started playing In the Flesh ? it wasn't actually Pink Floyd on stage but the session musicians;" the surrogate band": Andy Bown (bass), Snowy White (guitar), Willie Wilson (drums)and Peter Wood (keyboard), but it was still Waters doing the singing

  • GRAN OBRA

  • It's the artists hiding from their audience from behind masks and stand-ins. Plus,

    "Tell me is something eluding you, sunshine? Is this not what you expected to see? If ya wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes, you'll just have to claw your way through this disguise."

    It's partly inspired by those lyrics.

  • It's not really them performing the first song. It's hired musicians wearing disguises. It's all part of the theme of band/audience separation, which, later on, is represented by a physical wall.

  • @friginator As far as I know, they're not really them on the stage but the sounds and the voice on this songs are by pink floyd. The musicians on the stage are only actor (musicians but actor). Isn't it?

  • @Gippippolo82 It sounds a lot like Roger Waters, but he's being played by Andy Bown, who was convincing enough that at one point it was planned for him to replace Waters for some live shows. So yeah, maybe it could be them playing offscreen, or maybe Andy Bown's singing and Snowy White's guitar are just really convincing. I don't really know for sure, but I've always heard that it's just the fake (or "surrogate") band.

  • @friginator Roger was singing off-stage & Bown was lip-synching. But yes, it's the "surrogate" band playing the music. If you listen closely to Snowy White's guitar you can tell it's not Gilmour.

  • @friginator a surrogate band exactly how to say it.

  • @friginator It's Roger singing from behind the curtain, while Andy Bown mimes it. The instruments are being played by the surrogate band members, plus Gilmour's guitar and Wright's Quadra synth from behind the curtain too (wouldn't have known this if not for the book Comfortably Numb. Great read.)

  • @friginator the surragate band played the first song for the floyd on the wall tour, with masks of each musician on stage

  • @friginator What are you guys talking about? Isn't this Pink Floyd? Can't be..

    Pause at 4:15 that's David Gilmour! 4:07 that's Rick for sure. Were you talking about the first seconds or are they lookalikes?

  • @Linnung They're just doubles in masks for the first song. When that ends and "The Thin Ice" begins at 3:50 the regular band members go onstage.

  • fuck man that the real pink floyd with the real band . rodger walter and david guilmore and my father say the band in newyork and it was real ..... and i go see rodger walter present the wall at montreal canada wowow ... i hope ypur not gonna miss that in your city cya and good show if your going

  • The Pink Floyd name isn't owned by any particular member. And Roger Waters has long since owned any exclusive rights to the music. The band no longer exists. If he (and EMI) wanted to, Waters could release it under the Pink Floyd name. An audio recording of The Wall in concert (a different show than this one) has already been released, several years ago under the Pink Floyd name.

  • I HAVE THIS CD TOOOOOO. awesome band. BEST EVER!

  • best band

  • I wish I could have seen this live!! But I wasn't alive at the time lol.

  • @BloodRavenous Same Here!!!

  • @BloodRavenous Well, now you can get another chance to!

  • @BloodRavenous Roger Waters is traveling the country performing a 2010-11 tour of The Wall. You can at least see that live. There's hope!

  • @BloodRavenous Grab your chance Roger Waters performs it live again

  • quite good quality version of this great footage... I wonder how the one master tape, of which all the variable generation copys must come from, got to public...

    It looks like the concert-film was mixed and cutted and only stopped shortly before being released, so the master tapes must be somewhere! maybe if Roger wouldn't have broken with the band, he/they would have released it... Imagine this on dvd with suround-sound and without image artifacts... how it would kick ass!
