god fucking damnit, i wish i was around then and old enough to have experienced this. im 16, and wish SO much i couldve experience all of this music. makes me sad. fuck pop culture.
@NewVegasGnar It's a crazy world indeed, I was 20 when I was there in Berlin, 1990 thinking exactly the same as you do ! Don't be sad, just take up a guitar, look for some friends and start your on your own all over again ... just do it, good luck
I was living in Germany from 1987-1992 in the Army. I was in Berlin Brigade when the was came down. I was also there on the 21st of July at this concert. What an amazing night this was! It was a jubilant atmosphere with people from all over the world!
Cripes, all you complainers need to get a grip. OF COURSE it doesn't sound like 70's Floyd! That's because it isn't. It's Roger Waters and the best of the best of that time performing The Wall in a profound place at a profound time in history.
This show was/is effing epic. It captured both the ecstatic joy of a newly reunited Germany, and all the angst and turmoil of 45 years of oppression.
Cindy Lauper is great here, Roger Waters wouldn't have requested her otherwise
was hoping roger would of sang mother!! Didn't like the chick and 2 dudes on that sorry roger still a great song you fkin rock man just saw him in United center woohooo performing the wall
Art is a move on the soul, that inicates a tour to freedom. This is what this concert was. And this is what Floyd's music makes. These guys where artists, not rockers.
Has to be one of the best top-notch live performances of the era.To assemble the amount talent,the choreography,musical score and scale of it all is simply amazing.We'll never see anything again on this scale in live music.
I didn't read all the comments but in case you didn't know, during the live performance, her mike gave out almost immediately. She was really pissed off and danced around like Rumpelstiltskin for a while before leaving the stage. What you're seeing was the rehearsal footage. I think it would have been a great performance.
i really like it better when its just roger waters. i mean id like it better if it were all of pink floyd, but thats obviously not really an option... anyways i really hope itll be just him in december when i go see him... :/
i cant wait for the wall live 2010 - 2011 i hope it will sound like 70s pink floyd and roger waters better not add any annoying voices i just want roger waters on bass and vocals! please convince david gilmour to join the tour!!! no one plays the guitar better than him!
@TmasterREY Pink Floyd were not together these years so it was THIS or nothing. Take ur pick. I thought Roger did an amazing job here (if the Pink Floyd crybabies can get over the fact that David Gilmour and co were not part of it) :) The guys who played guitar were solid and Sinead knocked Mother out of the park imo. Some misses sure. Joni Mitchell was horrible and Van Morrison wasn't much better. Still this was the berlin wall! after the fall of the iron curtain! The visual rocked Bravo!!!
Great concert.. Although if it were me playing guitar I would have to break it of cindy laupers head. . . then have sex with her.... then wash myself.... then make it back on stage for side 2!!!
mother Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb? Mother, do you think they'll like this song? Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls? Ooh ah, Mother, should I build the wall? Mother...
i think we need to embrace this concert for what it was, i mean we cant expect to everytime the wall performs it sounds like 70's floyd, ok not the same without the other guys but there still roger and his songs are there too.
i wouldn't expect "on an island" sounds like roger plays in it.
i heard roger will tour the wall on 2010-2011 and i wouldnt expect it sounds like 70's floyd.
Snowy's alright, but doesn't have ....that....feel...compared to everybody's know who....
Indeed, agree...waters made this classic masterpiece a total circus of it...full of popular musicians. Fucking hideous 80's keyboards sound, and fucked up comfortably numb
It's on the Roger Waters Wall Live in Berlin Double CD. When it first came out I had to get it. The album has white bricks just like the Pink Floyd album.
Sinead's performance here is actually from the night before during the full dress rehearsal. They taped it in case something happened. Sinead did not return for the concert.
I heard that and I own the DVD but what did they do the night of the actual concert during mother? It's too bad because Sinead was wonderful here. One of the better moments I thought.
I think Sinead did great. I think I read that they just skipped over that part for the live broadcast. We own the DVD and I love it. I probably watch it 3 times at least a month. Not just good music but great theatrics
This is a bloody poor choice having Sinead sing to what is basically a male oriented lament on the weirdness and frailty of motherhood. Too radically inspired for my taste, smacks of A Level students trying to impress their peers. Its a song coming from a man's perspective, why change that?
@1920VictorianGent Originally, the mother's part was sung by David Gilmour, it has been sung by women, and now it's sung by women and men together. I think one of the most important things in music, is how it sounds. Sinead is amazing; her voice is perfect for the tessitura of this song. If you put "the wall berlin" in Youtube's search box and hit enter, the top result is Mother (based on how many people view/like the videos). I think that shows how great the choice was.
@1920VictorianGent are you an idiot? Who cares if it's a male or female singing it. It's just as beautiful. She's the only other person i can possibly imagine singing this song!!!
I see some ignorant comments in here and in other parts of this video. I understand in a way, some of you may have been born after the Pink Floyd/Berlin Wall era, or maybe you were too young at that time. However, before making silly comments, you may want to do some researches and find out who is whom in the concert, and MOSTLY what this concert was about and what the album The Wall was about. Without that information, watching this video is almost a waste of time for you.
A GREAT concert, the music is outstanding! Of course, any Floydian fan would rather Gilmour and the boys have done this. (there hasn't been a concert of the Wall live on DVD, to my knowledge)
Waters and the other musicians really ROCKED.
OH, does anyone else here think that guy playing the black acoustic in 'Mother' looks like John Stewart!? LOL
Wow... there is something seriously wrong with the way this concert looks... Sounds pretty sweet but holy fuck... Angry stripper, angus young lookalike with a keyboard/guitar. Crazy shit... And not the best in history thats for damn sure...
You aren't kidding, especially if you were there, which I was, and I met my wife there as well. I was also fairly close to the front. One of the best days of my life.
