I was there, first song was done by the surogate band (not pink floyd) although fans didn't realize this until the real Floyd appeared -" to find out where you fans really stand"

@elffish79 Are you kidding me? We're lucky to have this multi-camera shoot. It's well shot and edited. However, it's several generations off the master. Even the Earls show that Pink Floyd shot is less than perfect. The fact that several people managed to get in a humongous VCR and a camera is amazing. Security searched everyone. The reality is that most (if not all) video cameras were not advanced enough to capture this show.

@t69gto Face for tix was $15.00 (there was a cheaper level that was $12.50 or so). I never saw a $30.00 ticket until the Rolling Stones Steel Wheels tour.

@purchasepete you were never there petey. dont lie

Earlyer post saying the Garden was not availibul is not true.The Wall needed to play at a certain shaped arena tha was a bowl without balconies ot fit the wall being built during the first half.The NY Islanders were in the play offs at the time of the concert "During one of the songs Waters sung from the livingroom that flipped down an Islanders away game played on the TV live.Thats when they were the the greatest dynasty in pro sport,but thats another story.

All I know is that when the guy comes out after the break with the distorted head saying "Goooood eeevening laaadies and gentilman" I was honestly not sure if it was real or the the second hit fully kicking in.Is there tape of the begening of the second half?
-
Not true. You ever watch the earls court video? The surrogate band freezes at the end of "In The Flesh?" Then the real band members come out and play the rest of the concert, with the surrigate supporting them without the masks on. Then the surrigate band puts the masks back on in "In The Flesh." and the real band plays with them.

I was there its not the surrogate band,the surrogate band was used when the wall was built and one band was in front and one behind.

I was there! My ticket was $30.00 dollars. I also saw the Wall again in Philadelphia in 2010 and it was Great! Missed David though...

Wow, never knew this footage existed. I too was at this very show. Didn't have tickets, went down the first night to try to scalp (this show was the 4th night)
Only one guy had a ticket to this show so I payed $60 for a $15 ticket and went home. Right after I left someone smashed a window right where I had been standing and a bunch of people got to run in for free. This is not Pink Floyd on this song, it is the "surrogate band" Didn't know it at the time. Just saw the show again at The Staples
I will, but it takes a lot to upload the whole concert...so stand by!! ;)
