I think that the story is much more imaginative for the listener in the album but it's much more trippy in the movie and gives more emotional depth to it also.
@charadeyouareha yes there is actually a guy on YouTube by the name of friginator (I might have mispelled that its in my favorites if you want to look there) who has a bootleg of an entire show divided up in 16 parts ( The Trial is part 15)
not my favorite sound when it came to pink floyd. Waters music just didnt appeal to me. Their early stuff with Barrett and more Gilmore was, in my opinion, much better. However, The Wall concert must have been incredible to see
I am from the USA I saw the movie at theaters when I was seventeen. I just saw Roger Waters perform THE WALL live in KANSAS CITY MISSOURI believe me when I say it was a masterpiece.
Oh by the way, Mary Ann aside, this is a great documentary about a great band. Thanks for posting. Sorry for bringing negativity into the reviews, but at the end of the day it's the Mary Anns of this world, with their ignorance and sheep-mentality that pissed off Roger so much that he was inspired to create The Wall.
I feel really strongly that music coverage should be much more intellectual and less faddish, so we music fans need to call out these empty talking heads when they turn up.
People like Mary Ann Hobbs are the reason I don't have a TV licence or TV set. I'm not giving the BBC a penny if these mediocre non-entities are what's on offer.
I can't stand people who make a career out of their "trendy" ignorance of musical history. You wouldn't catch a football expert gloating about knowing nothing about 70s football, they'd rightly be ridculed.
And I'm not some old fogey, I wasn't even born then. Do some fucking research and form your own original opinions you stupid cow.
come on mary anne hobbs just talks about her first reception of the album as a kiddo --- give people some credit, they are not so much dumber than your brillant selves as you may think
@MoveOverCasanova You missed the point. It's not the fact that shes recollecting that thought it's the fact that because of that she "gets" to be on this doc. Any one of us could say something like that. Nothing special at all. Feels like they needed atleast one female on this so they got her.
@jwild611 well after all i know she is quite a well known radio jockey in britain isn´t she --- and she is clearly there as the voice of the "average listener", not as a great floydologist ---
@MoveOverCasanova "voice of the average listener" hey if that's your viewpoint go for it. Mine? She clearly doesn't think of her self that way or else she wouldn't be on this doc along with other things. Conclusion? She's lame.
@fleebus090 - Don't think so, the record was released in 1979,, the movie was begun and finished just a few years later... In the movies she is portrayed as a slutty groupie clearly in here mid 20s. She just has aged well apparrently.
Roger's coming to Chicago in September, and I really want to see him but I don't have enough money :( sucks to be young and poor! okay now dealing with the video, for some reason I don't like the last song on The Wall, I feel he could of went a different way maybe, or just ended it at the Trial with people yelling "Tear Down The Wall!"
Pink Floyd as a band seems to have gone through so much hardship, it begs the question would they have been anywhere near as good as they were without it, or do people need difficulty hardship before they can create something as powerful and beautiful as Pink Floyd did?
yeah that Hobbes one is terrible. That Mark Fisher dude sounds like he's in some kind of permanent tired delirium, too. Fuck, I'd hate to be married to that guy.
this documentary further reinforces the fact that the floyd completely dominated the essence of what a concept album, live show and motion picture could be...they are such a great group, but I can never understand how much two people (waters and gilmoure), could hate each other..it was sad that they could not get past their differences and tour together, giving fans a great chance to see all of them together, but now there are only 3 left so that can never be accomplished again..
Thanks for uploading this great documentary, sabeltann! I had no idea that the Floyd used to start their show with four other musicians wearing masks. Now I know what to think about when I stare at their The Wall: Live 1980-1981 album.
why is this mary anne hobbs bitch talking? she doesn't look old enough to even be able to understand music at that time. she couldn't have been older than 10. fuck that bitch.
The 'Wall' show remains a milestone in rock history though and there's no point in denying it. Never again will one be able to accept the technical clumsiness, distorted sound and meagre visuals of most arena rock concerts as inevitable" and concluded that "the 'Wall' show will be the touchstone against which all future rock spectacles must be measured.
er yeah your referring to the wall live in berlin in 1990?! but i was talking about this documentary you've just watched 'behind the wall' which says in the description is '80's era' but was actually made in 1999/2000!
if i had a time machine i would go back to the 80's and see the wall live, fuck the dinosaurs, i'm going to the pink floyd show, i hope they do a show for the 30th anniversary of the wall, i would pay to go, i would kill to go.
Great documentary. I do have to say though that it is defintely favors Waters. It the end it said that Waters left the band and has enjoyed a succesfull solo career. It says nothing about David Gilmour's even more successful solo career. When Waters left, he initially refused to play Pink Floyd songs and the audience protested. If you take the pt of view that the band is not P Floyd without Waters, that I would ad that it was also not P Floyd without Barett. Regardless, all 5 are brilliant
Loved this! thanks for posting! I would love to see the full wall concert. It was an incredible idea/album but the movie does fall a little flat. The music does make it however.
I think she represents how kids of that time saw this whole concept of the wall. in my opinion. like what they thought of another brick in the wall for example.
I personally don't care how "subpar" they might think the footage of those shows is - I'd snatch it off the shelf before the stockboy even got his hands off of it. Nearly 30 years this artwork has been a part of my life (in all its incarnations), and I only appreciate it more as time goes on.
It would be great if Pink Floyd release a DVD with all The Wall concert alive (from that time). If initially the idea of the movie was planned with images from the live concert, it means that they have all this material as we can see in this documentary. It would be a very valuable piece of art, particularly to those who did not have the chance to see them on stage...like me.
waters has all of the footage. he has admitted it. he released the audio in 2000, now we are all waiting for the DVD. it's sort of like what happened with The Who's 1977 Kilburn show. the film was put in storage because it was believed to be too sub-par to release to the public (which waters has said about his footage). I'm sure he'll give in eventually, though.
@ivsaja Sure, it exists. There are bootleg DVD's out there of the entire 1980 show, professionally shot. (Same footage used in this documentary, I think.) But the quality is pretty bad - we definitely could use a nice, official version, which I understand Roger does intend to put out someday soon.
@ivsaja Yeah, but roger refuses to release the live footage in its entirety because he isn't pleased with the audio quality. It would be epic, but for now "Is there Anybody Out There? the Wall 1980-1981" cd is the best we're gonna get.
When you look back on this after all these years you realise how brilliant it all is. Although the band was going through a time of major upheavel and Waters apppears to have been under enormous pressure, (whether self induced or not), it is often at such times that artists are most creative. Dark Side is still, overall a better album but The Wall is, in its own right, an amazing creation and continues to stand the test of time. Wish I Were There.
i've dug really deep.. and can't find one single flaw with this album.. i guess there's one problem.. that they're not touring it anymore.. REUINITE.. if not for yourselves do it for the fans?..
I don't really agree. I think it was just as they stated, The Wall somehow needed an end with a wee bit of light.
I think that it would have been better if it wasn't just like all those Hollywood-productions where everything ends peacefully just because that's what the audience wants. Pink Floyd have always pushed the rules of music further and I believe they would have done that better if they kept the wall standing in the end of the show, just like Waters said.
Well I mean you could say that, but even as they saw in this video, they wanted to symbolize in the movie that Pink was trapped inside the wall and the trail followed by "Outside the wall" is him escaping himself trapped in his mind.
The thing about the whole album is that it's open to a fair amount of interpretation. It's not necessarily a happy ending, or even an ending at all. If you turn up your speakers at the very end of Outside the Wall, you can hear someone saying "Isn't this where..." and when you have your speakers turned up at the very beginning of the album, you hear the same guy saying "...we came in?" This illustrates Waters' fascination with cycles, which is what The Wall seems to be. I see it as more cynical.
On the album the music at the end cuts out precisely to the music playing at the beginning. So it's not really a hapy ending at all, it's an infinite loop.
Lol, just read the comments you were replying to. But you may be interested to know that it's not really a happy ending at all, it's an infinite loop. It's not really a happy ending at all, it's an infinite loop. It's not really a happy ending at all, it's...
Was around during the BIG dys of Pink Floyd, I just lucked up and watched all 7 parts of this and it out standing!! I can say one thing Rodger was NUT case but hand one heck of good idea of making the "The Wall" concert they way they did it. Just ashame that he left the band back in 1985, but the group is still rocking to today even being in there 60's. l I can say is that Pink Floyd will live on from my time to mmy Grand-childrens time. The Band is outstanding!! Kick ASS!!
I bought this album, spring 79 when first released and never seen the movie and probably never will. It's like reading a Stephen King book then watching the movie, just not the same, your imagination is what make it awesome?
Wow that was a great documentary! They should re-release The Wall album with the song What Shall We Do Now and the extended, louder version of Outside The Wall.
It's nice to see celebrities behaving like adults for a change. The men are able to discuss the awkward facts of the band's disintegration without taking cheap shots at each other, keeping any bitter feelings to themselves in order to protect the beautiful work that came from their years together. If only more celebs, and people in general, could be so respectful and well mannered.
the non-classsic line-up of Floyd is great--truly great--strong, emotional, sentimental even romantic overall forceful however alas predictable music, making it a bit flat. thus i must confess that i feel it still has lacked that genius force of daring electric spontainity that was found together with Waters--or via Waters.
though, i understand the reality of what difficulties have arised with them all working together--imagine Beethoven or Mozart being together for long.
geldof should shut his fool mouth, geldof thinks because hes geldof that his opinion matters. hes lucky floyd used him, it made him what he is. geldof is a nobody
A brilliantly put together,seamless documentary.Very well done,sabeltann.Thank you very much for the post,I enjoyed it so much.Peace, to you and yours brother.
when i first heard THE WALL i thought it was about this character who had just been through hell, with his dad dying and his wife cheating on him, and he was just building a wall of emotion then he relizes
that hey can move on and "tear down the wall".
but now i see theres more than one story. and this truly is brilliant work
How do they have these awesome images of the Show and they don't release it. We have to be satisfied with the awfull footage avaiable on the Web, from another sources...sad. Maybe in 2010 or 2011 we might see this amazing show on DVD. High Hopes.
I doubt it will be released on DVD as the band agreed the quality wasn't up to par, there is, however, a version on VHS. Bootleg copies are also on the net.
Haha.I was at one of the Pulse concerts.Ive seen every major act in their prime over the last 30 years.From Abba in Australia in 76.Elton John in 84.Kiss in 80.Rolling Stones in 81.Bowie in 83.Floyd in 88 and in 95.Floyd are without a doubt the best live band ever.A Floyd concert isnt just a concert,its an experience.
I was off my face at both Pink Floyd (Who wasnt?) Sober at the Stones.Little bit drunk at Kiss(My birthday of course)Abba,I was only 15 so pre drunk.Abba concerts arent really to get into any state.But Floyd were pretty much the best.
This Geldof is such an untalented butthead

Although the band was going through a time of major upheavel and Waters apppears to have been under enormous pressure, (whether self induced or not), it is often at such times that artists are most creative. Dark Side is still, overall a better album but The Wall is, in its own right, an amazing creation and continues to stand the test of time. Wish I Were There.

I've always said If I could go back in time and have my pick of any concert it would have been this without a doubt.

judging my all the members statements about the state of the band in 1980 i'm surprised it took waters until 1985 to finally up and leave.

I thought i understood what The Wall was about till i watched this. It would have been amazing to see the live show.

the trial = best song on the album
outside the wall = worst song on the album.
i've dug really deep.. and can't find one single flaw with this album.. i guess there's one problem.. that they're not touring it anymore.. REUINITE.. if not for yourselves do it for the fans?..

I agree... REUNITE! The Live 8 was awesome. Put aside your indifferences and create some new works... Some new Classics!
Pink is my Drug! I need a new fix!

How could you even say "Outside The Wall" is the worst song on The Wall?? It's beautiful and just as amazing as the rest of the album.
assasinman87 3 years ago 4
I don't really agree. I think it was just as they stated, The Wall somehow needed an end with a wee bit of light.
I think that it would have been better if it wasn't just like all those Hollywood-productions where everything ends peacefully just because that's what the audience wants. Pink Floyd have always pushed the rules of music further and I believe they would have done that better if they kept the wall standing in the end of the show, just like Waters said.
Bananaman68 3 years ago
Well I mean you could say that, but even as they saw in this video, they wanted to symbolize in the movie that Pink was trapped inside the wall and the trail followed by "Outside the wall" is him escaping himself trapped in his mind.
assasinman87 3 years ago
Maybe they could have just stopped with the wall being smashed to pieces? I dunno no...

The thing about the whole album is that it's open to a fair amount of interpretation. It's not necessarily a happy ending, or even an ending at all. If you turn up your speakers at the very end of Outside the Wall, you can hear someone saying "Isn't this where..." and when you have your speakers turned up at the very beginning of the album, you hear the same guy saying "...we came in?" This illustrates Waters' fascination with cycles, which is what The Wall seems to be. I see it as more cynical.

samanthalynn612 3 years ago
Yeah, no matter how you slice it, outside the wall feels very much like a token "happy time" song at the end of all the misery and angst.
In the show it feels right, though.
Pyrofries 3 years ago
On the album the music at the end cuts out precisely to the music playing at the beginning. So it's not really a hapy ending at all, it's an infinite loop.

Was around during the BIG dys of Pink Floyd, I just lucked up and watched all 7 parts of this and it out standing!! I can say one thing Rodger was NUT case but hand one heck of good idea of making the "The Wall" concert they way they did it. Just ashame that he left the band back in 1985, but the group is still rocking to today even being in there 60's. l I can say is that Pink Floyd will live on from my time to mmy Grand-childrens time. The Band is outstanding!! Kick ASS!!

I bought this album, spring 79 when first released and never seen the movie and probably never will. It's like reading a Stephen King book then watching the movie, just not the same, your imagination is what make it awesome?

Wow that was a great documentary! They should re-release The Wall album with the song What Shall We Do Now and the extended, louder version of Outside The Wall.

It's nice to see celebrities behaving like adults for a change. The men are able to discuss the awkward facts of the band's disintegration without taking cheap shots at each other, keeping any bitter feelings to themselves in order to protect the beautiful work that came from their years together. If only more celebs, and people in general, could be so respectful and well mannered.

the non-classsic line-up of Floyd is great--truly great--strong, emotional, sentimental even romantic overall forceful however alas predictable music, making it a bit flat. thus i must confess that i feel it still has lacked that genius force of daring electric spontainity that was found together with Waters--or via Waters.
though, i understand the reality of what difficulties have arised with them all working together--imagine Beethoven or Mozart being together for long.

when i first heard THE WALL i thought it was about this character who had just been through hell, with his dad dying and his wife cheating on him, and he was just building a wall of emotion then he relizes
that hey can move on and "tear down the wall".
but now i see theres more than one story. and this truly is brilliant work
and anyone who disses pink floyd
you have no idea what good music is

How do they have these awesome images of the Show and they don't release it. We have to be satisfied with the awfull footage avaiable on the Web, from another sources...sad. Maybe in 2010 or 2011 we might see this amazing show on DVD. High Hopes.

I doubt it will be released on DVD as the band agreed the quality wasn't up to par, there is, however, a version on VHS. Bootleg copies are also on the net.

Haha.I was at one of the Pulse concerts.Ive seen every major act in their prime over the last 30 years.From Abba in Australia in 76.Elton John in 84.Kiss in 80.Rolling Stones in 81.Bowie in 83.Floyd in 88 and in 95.Floyd are without a doubt the best live band ever.A Floyd concert isnt just a concert,its an experience.
