Pink Floyd - Don't Leave Me Now (Live)

Updated audio from "Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall Live 1980-81". The video was recorded August 9th, 1980.

[@Terri_MacKay]

That voice!! He's certainly not the best technical singer, but nobody else's voice punches you in the gut like his does. When he sings One of My Turns and Don't Leave Me Now, it is visceral... you feel that.

[@RodLD]

He really knew how to take advantage of his peculiar/ not so sophisticated voice to trigger deep emotions in the listeners

[@WilliamJones-sf5pt]

Like Peter Gabriel of Genesis and Rick Davies of Supertramp, Roger Waters was a master of melodic narration. He isn't really singing, but conveying social commentary.

[@Therealderry433]

He wrote it to match his voice,that's the point of writing for yourself

[@sandrablackburn4583]

Love it too

[@joefloyd86]

now you are talkin man 🤗

[@LandMswag]

what makes the song even sadder is how roger is holding himself rocking back and forth

[@madkittyjoey70]

Oh yes! I found a fairly recent video on here of just Roger singing the song and most of what he does is sit and rock back and forth. That's how most people can tell Don't Leave Me Now is a sad song.

Abandonment is a MONSTER ...😰😥😓💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

[@kirbyloks6473]

This song ain’t even about Rodger but he’s still feels the pain

[@qteep6112]

@@kirbyloks6473 I thought this song was inspired by his relationship with Judith Trim?

[@thescarletarcanatarot]

@@qteep6112 I always thought it was too. And some of it probably is. Could also be Syd Barrett’s relationship with Lyndsey Korner. According to “ Saicerfull of Secrets” there was an incident where Syd hit her

I have to agree.

Buena como vamos

[@madkittyjoey70]

What I like so much about Roger Waters is that he's one of the very few people who can sing with so much emotion. It's pretty obvious in most of the songs on The Wall album that he's gone through a lot of hurt and anguish...a father who was killed in combat, an overprotective mother, and a broken heart b/c of being cheated on.

[@joellaz9836]

He cheated on his wife first

[@madkittyjoey70]

Joella Z Really? From the way the songs go, it seems as if it was the other way around.

[@joellaz9836]

+madkittyjoey70 he said in an interview that he did first.

[@madkittyjoey70]

Wow!

[@kiwiofoz7954]

@@joellaz9836 Although, in the film the phone call ("...a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mister Floyd Will you accept the charges...") comes before Young Lust, so in the film his wife cheated first.

[@mikemartin8088]

Probably one of the most overlooked songs in the History of music.

[@jeremyhead7546]

Just listened to the studio one before this, always liked this one better. I think the studio one doesn't give it its due, that might be the problem.

[@ericgardner5969]

@@jeremyhead7546Roger is significantly more intense in the live version. Studio is great but the live is better. Plus, some extras on bass and from gilmour as well in the live version.

[@warguy403]

i love how they're actually building the wall onstage

[@PinkFloydBootlegs]

warguy403 That was the point. Roger wanted to be sperated from the crowd because of what happened at Montreal 77' (the spitting incident).

[@mickenziedavis3068]

But they did tear down the wall in the end right?

been lucky enough to see them 3 times, they never disappoint. . best concerts of my life.. Rogers voice is so haunting....

[@Exotic_Tofu]

like pre final cut pink floyd live?

[@darkmachete]

This is one of the most depressing songs ever written in rock history.

[@stormchaserbraydenbarton]

Pink Floyd is really good at hitting you with the depression then instantly following it up with one of the greatest instrumentals you’ve ever heard😭

[@VeronicaAlysha]

Brought tears to my eyes... So much emotion, you can hear it in every single note Roger hits... Absolutely moving.

[@9841496228]

Roger ROger ...... damn he is so fucking amazing ...... he is the greatest icon in rock history,, anyone agree????

[@sandrablackburn4583]

Too fkn right

[@surreal_vows_band]

Of course he is

[@xiaokaikev]

The Wall is one of the greatest achievements in music history

[@moealagha]

Absolutely no one rips his heart out and feeds it to his fans like Waters does.

[@kingwilliamorange]

This performance strikes me an absolute mastery of theater.....insanity, depression, anger, and raw talent bottled into a perfect blend of lyrics and music........ it describes and illustrates EXACTLY whats going on with Pink .... I can listen to it over and over again. WOW Cant wait to see Mr Waters on Nov 18 in Atlanta and then again in San Fran on Dec 6. My favorite artist ever

[@neoleomedia1676]

Oh how have missed all their wonderful concerts, I am sadly too young to have attended any. Hope your time was magical, as Rogers wonderfully mysterious music presented.

[@ladystardust344]

This song saved my life.

Comment of the decade

[@secretlyamonkey]

@@MK-nn7gm last decade, i guess

[@codyincharge]

OK Pink Floyd has always appealed to young kids coming of age feeling like no one understands them or the emotions they have. I can still remember falling in love with Floyd at the age of 15 I'm 30 now. And on days where emotions run high I fall in love with them all over again.

[@lilRadRidinHood]

I fell in love with them at age 15 as well...now in two years I will be 70. Gilmour and I are almost the same age, and we were both in our early 20's when I saw him on stage...I felt our eyes met with my then fantasy-driven observations. Best night of my young life!

[@bonoyass]

Lori Raf im 15 and just fell in love with pink floyd omg

[@MK-nn7gm]

[@sivcrest]

Wow, it’s like hearing it for the first time all over again

[@terenceokane]

this song is so damn sad so fuckin good though so emotional and the breakdown oh my god! one of my favorite floyd jams

[@bargeldar]

'How could you go when you know how I need you to beat to a pulp on a saturday night?' It's harrowing how though the narrator is a wicked man his desperate voice still breaks our hearts.

[@morgan4212]

Who would have thought 40 plus years we would be listening to the wall I still shake my head in wonderment

[@ACOL047]

This is an absolutely amazing song! Creepy, deep, emotional, sad, angry, ironic... just brilliant!

I love everything from this song. For me is: between 2.25 and 3.27 incredible perfect 🎼

[@pcls-tech]

This is so perfectly beautiful that literally makes me cry, thank you very much Roger...

[@catnip0g]

This song has always cut right through me, chilling

[@Hawgfrog]

I may sound crazy but I've felt this before I ever heard it. I remember a night in my life where I begged for someone to stay with me because I had a breakdown and was in absolute turmoil. And then years later I hear this song and was mortified, but I absolutely love it. No long lasting effects from that night thankfully.

[@kjmps999]

The last ‘oooooooooooooo’ at the end makes me tear up every time, don’t even know why.

[@Jimmy2time]

This is slowly becoming my fave Floyd song

[@Fakename70]

Absolutely. Great comment. I finished a book just last night that described this track as, along with Rog's vocal, possibly the Floyd's LEAST viable of them all, if you can believe that! I think it's one of their best, actually. It's all in the lyrics and his delivery TOTALLY fits the mood.

[@xYoungSteezyX]

its hard to believe nobody in pink floyd was insane, all there song are great but can be very dark. I Love It!

[@comradeabby3141]

[@kingwilliamorange]

@TheLegend313 I know exactly how you feel; a few years back I went through a tough one and I can remember just sitting at my computer [drinking whiskey] playing this song as loud as it would go. It was the greatest therapy I could have ever had. Even though the song is haunting and sad, it makes you feel like someone or some thing understands the pain. The screams feel real. It got me thru it.

[@montonero1]

"Animals" y "The Wall" = creatividad al palo. Este tema si que te vuela la cabeza. Ese piano bien grave es un hachazo loco. La primera vez que lo escuche tenía 10 años y dije: "eso no es un tema, no tiene ritmo".

[@eyebandmusic]

Roger Waters is a phenomenal singer - absolutely perfect for these songs; the perfect expression. It's SOOO much better with him singing than the guest vocalists he's had over the years. This concert should have been released on video decades ago!

[@demonweber666]

Before Nine Inch Nails, before Tool , before many others , we had this beautiful,creepy, haunting music from Roger. He had that voice that was like broken glass or thin ice , while David had a much smoother tone. Worked so well together.

[@Kapricorn1]
