- Loud hiss that was previously on all other versions was removed
- I give this a B+. While not the best quality video it is still good enough to enjoy and is also a 30 year old memory that we are lucky to still have around.

Pink Floyd's live rendition of "The Wall" performed throughout 1980 and 1981 ranks as some of the most spectacular shows ever to be performed in front of an audience. The initial intent of director Alan Parker and Pink Floyd along with Illustrator Gerald Scarfe was to include live footage of "The Wall" shows into the movie version of "The Wall" and some shows were filmed for that specific purpose. But after several screen tests, Roger Waters was removed from the starring role and was replaced with the punk musician Bob Geldof. Since Waters was no longer in the starring role, it no longer made sense for the feature to include Pink Floyd footage, so the live film aspect was dropped. The footage culled from the five Wall concerts at Earl's Court from 13-17 June 1981 that were held specifically for filming was deemed unusable also for technical reasons as the fast Panavision lenses needed for the low light levels turned out to have insufficient resolution for the movie screen. BUT NOW WE HAVE IT HERE. And until something like this is released officially (if ever). We hope you enjoy this concert for it's historic value since we at Tommygun Video figure 30 years is long enough to wait.

Roger Waters: Do you still like the pig?

The audience: Yeaaaaaah

@necroshyha Yes. Roger asked him to leave during the making of The Wall but Rick said he'd like to do the tour and perform the music. He left after this tour.

@An0n3mu55 Was Rick still with the band at this moment?

Loving the Surrogate Band!

When they broke up it was like who do you love more mom or dad? Roger was the darker side and Gilmore was the nurturer. Together they made a perfect union.

@MOSKII58 1:52 Is not a Tele, is an Esquire, first solid body model made by Fender but with only a single coil pickup on bridge. It has a custom neck pickup added by Seymour Duncan and named by David "The Workmate", Fender uses the same body for both Tele and Esquire; this also appears in the back cover of "About Face"
