1. Did you ever see the film version from 1982?

I'm not a big Pink Floyd fan, but I really liked that movie!

[coloradodem2005]

5. It was on PBS one time.

[proud patriot]

[proud patriot]

3. Just nod if you can hear me , is there anyone at home ?

[fluffernutter]

4. have you ever heard and seen it at a lasarium?

i went to The Wall at our lasaruim last summer, it was wild.

[MissMillie]

6. Are you listening to that one

because you don't have Wish You Were Here?

[lenidog]

7. Not going to ask you anything

But we have this resal shop around here and for two bucks and just for the hell of it I got the "Wall" on vinyl. Now I just got to dig up that record player I have hiding around here. (BTW Also got a Robert Johnson record on vinyl)

[BlueFlu]

[Cymbaline68]

9. Mother did it need to be so high?

[Skink]

10. We don't need no education

[Spacemom]

11. Not a question but a statement

I lost my virginity while listening to Pink Floyd The Wall. :evilgrin:

[coloradodem2005]

12. Oh that's nice.

I will probably have my virginity for life.

[JVS]

13. What the hell is the deal with that movie?

Kid's dad gets killed, grows up with mom, marries, divorces, starts fascist movement, has success, freaks out, is arrested and tried for "showing feelings of an almost human nature"? Sorry but I'm really not getting the arc of the story

[Goathead]

14. Vera! Vera! What has become of you?

Does anybody else in here
Feel the way I do?

[wovenpaint]

15. Oohhh, how inspiring-I've got "The Wall" Live and....

have joined you (just got off of work...). It's loaded into my computer along with "wish you Were Here"-great way to end a night!!
:toast:

[Cymbaline68]

16. Are you talking about

Is There Anybody Out There? Great live album!!

[wovenpaint]

23. Yes, yes, yes!

I agree - it's a great album! It's funny but I never had a true appreciation for Pink Floyd until recently!
I used to prefer Emerson, Lake and Palmer (still like them), but...
guess I'm mellowing nicely-or something.....

[Cymbaline68]

24. Been into Pink Floyd for a while now..

Actually, the person who introduced me to Pink Floyd was also a big ELP fan. I have Tarkus but have not listened to it in ages. Think I need to get it out and have a listen.

32. You know "The Thin Ice" was added later, right?

I will never, ever figure this out: The organizers of The Wall: Live in Berlin planned for every eventuality. They built the most massive stage set ever erected in Germany. They contracted with some of the top talent of our time. They even hired the Soviet Army's Western Group of Forces field band to play "Bring the Boys Back Home."

And then they rented one generator to run the whole fucking thing.

Anyway, the show started. The Scorpions played. The crowd started screaming. (What they were screaming was "Louder!" Because they didn't play very loud, and lots of people didn't like that.) Out walks Ute Lemper to sing "The Thin Ice"...and the generator quit. By the time they got it running again, it was time for the next song.

Which was fine by me; if there was one song on the whole album I could do without, it's that one.

If I could have restaged that show, here's what I would have done: at the very beginning, kill all of the lights except one followspot focused on Roger Waters, who would sing "When The Tigers Broke Free" accompanied by a pianist or a classical guitarist. (The Scorpions would be taking the stage as this is happening.) And the second Waters finished singing "and that's how the high command took my daddy from me," throw all the dimmers to high and go straight into "In the Flesh."

18. Saw them do it live

...at Nassau Coliseum, anyone else see that tour? You had to walk between two rows of cops on horses to get in...took a while for me to realize it was part of the act.

[Bat Boy]

19. Are you currently on acid?

If not, you're doing it wrong...

[democracyindanger]

20. Didja know

that if you play the album while watching "From Justin To Kelly, With Love" IT MAKES COMPLETE SENSE.

[meisje]

21. Have you seen the writing on the wall?

[henslee]

22. Did you ever play it along with Wizard of Oz and watch it sync perfectly?

[coloradodem2005]

25. I thought that was the Dark Side of the Moon

[henslee]

26. Oops. You are right.

[wovenpaint]

27. Yep-Dark Side

and look for the hanging man in the woods behind the witch (scarecrow scene) Very spacey....

[solinvictus]

28. Why?

You can hear it in heavy repeat on any "classic" rock station. ;)

[Dukkha]

29. I just Listened to DSOTM in surround sound

OK the new James Guthrie mix isn't as good as the original Alan Parsons Quadraphonic mix

Which version of The Wall are you listening to? The best one is the Mobile Fidelity Sound Logic CD "Original Master Recording"

[Total Mass Retain]

30. Remember when you were young? You shone like the sun n/t

[lectrobyte]

33. You need to hear Luther Wright's Rebuild the Wall

You'll never hear Pink Floyd the same way again.
