Pink Floyd - Empty Spaces (Live)

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

This song/What Shall We Do.. and this performance of it.. is the best climactic rock performance of all time

[@davidgilmourrocks01]

i wish i grew up with such an awsome era of music

[@AliRad4c]

i adore roger's voice

[@Jeffodious]

this is one of my favourite songs on the wall. it is really the finale of Pink's sanity. it is actually such a scary song.

[@youreverydaysaltyiowastate5602]

In my eye, “Goodbye Blue Sky” and “Empty Spaces” are Pink’s loss of innocence from his childhood and transition into adulthood. In Goodbye Blue Sky, the Blue Sky, much like in The Thin Ice, represents innocence and life and the addition of “Goodbye” is Pink saying goodbye to childhood and Empty Spaces is him saying hello to adulthood.

What a piece of art.

[@vvali4ya]

no word's! big stuff! The great! Thank you PF!

[@hydrake]

@AfternoonProductions ....writer of those songs. He was assisted by Waters. Specifically, Waters and Gilmour both agree that they co-wrote "Young Lust" together. "While most songs on The Wall were written by Waters alone, most of the music for "Comfortably Numb" was written by David Gilmour, who originally recorded the instrumental demo during the latter stages of recording his first solo album, hoping to find some later use for it. Gilmour later brought his demo of it to The Wall sessions."

@TheBoozeFairy way before our time......"never comfortbly numb"......mate!

[@2ndDayRiffs]

THE GREATEST BAND EVER!

[@BenCulture]

Also, I once read a "fictional biography" of a Pink Floyd Syd Barrett never left, never went insane, and kept his knack for catchy hits alive. In this alternative PF, Rick Wright (of all people) was the one to collaborate with Syd the most - sometimes on titles we recognized, but mostly not. It was ROGER who felt his songwriting wasn't getting the attention it deserved, so he left the band early on, It was a fun read!

[@AliRad4c]

Roger Waters is going on tour with The Wall!! That is one concert I absolutely positively HAVE to go to!

[@Anacinc]

@davidgilmourrocks01 So true... those are things I wish almost every time I hear music from that era and before. The musical industry these days is saturated in a way that nothing really is innovative anymore... Pink Floyd for ever, and it will be as far as I'm concerned!!

[@IsisTiamat]

@Jasoneezer Yes, this was filmed 9 August 1980 at Earls Court :-)

[@AliRad4c]

@kibbles1053 I had to miss it last year because of prior commitments, which was really depressing.. especially when my friends who went to the concert rubbed it in my face.. BUT! lo and behold, he's coming back to my city in July and I got my tickets as soon as they went on sale!! I can't wait!!

[@BenCulture]

I understand why you'd believe that, but it's really not so. As Gilmour once put it, "[Roger's] had three other goes at making solo albums, and none of them are as good [as The Wall]. Now The Final Cut, that's a different story. It IS all Waters. Roger offered, in all sincerity, to make it alone as a solo album, because it was so personally important to him. He would be glad to take it off their hands. But as Roger put it, "They didn't want that, because they know songs don't grow on trees."

[@PrincessKagayaki]

(: Me too...I think I just adore him in general.

[@CovershotV8]

@HappyInsaneBicho Pure wisdom coming out from your words

[@tberben]

I personally know of many people, including me, who would like to build some kind of wall in their heads, just like Pink. Listening to the Wall prevents me from doing it.

[@jjobie]

Wicked song, this.

[@RupertDCD27]

Just saw Roger Waters last night ! AMAZING!!!

[@hydrake]

@AfternoonProductions Just because Waters departed from the band in 1983 after finishing The Final Cut, doesn't mean that the band broke up. Gilmour and the rest of the band mates kept the name up until 1995 when the entire band officially split up and called it quits.

[@Kohntarkosz]

I can never remember which is which, but originally the song that they played live (like in this video) was supposed to come between Goodbye Blue Sky and Young Lust, with the other appearing later on side two. But late in the game, after the lyric sheets had already been finalized, they decided to drop the first song, and move the second one (which I think was originally supposed to segue into Another Brick Part 3) up and have it segue into Young Lust.

[@JohnMonn76]

Pink is still a kid at this point.

[@dah16121986]

no what shall we do now is not on the studio album but it's on the live album

[@blujufirst]

Me too.

[@fIagg]

what shall we do now is a separate track

[@jorgeiramain]

for me is shine on you crazy diamond

[@RotnRoll77]

Man, commercials are a total buzz kill. Up yours Fios.

[@hydrake]

@AfternoonProductions Also. The tour that is going on right now is called "Roger Waters: The Wall" because he is the only member of Pink Floyd who is doing the tour.....if Mason or Gilmour were with him for the entire tour, they would be calling the act Pink Floyd....as they had several years ago for the Live 8 benefit concert.... You need to get your facts straight.....

[@GibsonRocks12]

Floyd Pinkerton

[@seba3663]

The band wasn't called 'gilmour' or ' waters nor 'barret' it was PINK FLOYD.

[@HappyInsaneBicho]

i hate when people say roger was pink floyd or that david was pink floyd, pink floyd was a band, and they need each other to be pink floyd, get over it

[@hydrake]

@AfternoonProductions Dude.....PINK FLOYD broke up in 1995...... Roger wrote a very large portion of the Wall, so legally he is allowed to tour it. Gilmour gave him rights to perform Young Lust and Comfortably Numb. (In addition....Roger wanted Gilmour to do the tour with him (because he likes the way Gilmour performs his two songs), but Gilmour refused because of the troubles and the rift between Waters and the rest of the band). RIP Wright

[@fraynevliegenthart6112]

hey if they broke up in 1995 then how did they release The Endless River in 2014?

[@AfternoonProductions]

@HappyInsaneBicho thats why on roger's tour (i saw it and it was so epic :DDDD) it was called ROGER WATERS THE WALL 2010 TOUR. Not PINK FLOYD THE WALL 2010 TOUR. just sayin

[@liloleme29]

Floyd rules Rock!!!

[@BenCulture]

Be careful, and be committed to seeing that show! In 2011, I was so deeply into drugs, I was barely aware Roger Waters was in Dallas, and I damned well wasn't going to bu a ticket for the same price as five bags. But it was a "bottomitng out" for me. Sring 2012, I had a second chance: Austin, a mere four hour drive. But then my wonderful, warm, affectionate Grandma -without whom I would have been lost - died a few days before the shoow.

[@AfternoonProductions]

@hydrake wait woah woah woah. PINK FLOYD broke up soon after THE WALL came out. 1983 to be exact. And roger wrote every song in the wall, David only HELPED write those 2 songs. i dont know who told you they broke up in '95, or who said gilmour wrote those on his own. again, its called ROGER WATERS THE WALL 2010. not pink floyd the wall 2010. ok?

[@myndirnotur]

@RupertDCD27 Me too! It was KICK ASS!

[@hydrake]

@AfternoonProductions I do think I know everything about Pink Floyd. What are you talking about when you say, "used the name"??? Don't you mean David Gilmour, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason continued the band??? Just because Roger leaves doesn't mean the band isn't Pink Floyd anymore. Also....you'll notice that the style of the songs, "Young Lust", "Comfortably Numb", and "Run Like Hell" are drastically different than anything else on the album.....this is because Gilmour was the principal....

[@BenCulture]

Sometimes I look at my previous comments and barely recognize them!

[@BritaniaRuleAgain]

anger brings about some of the greater songs amoung floyd

[@vyper2112]

@omarmhalilovic @HappyInsaneBicho You're both right and you're both wrong. Later in the years it got to the point where either Roger or David were in control, but it was never always one or the other. The Wall might have been Roger Waters, but The Division Bell was a huge Gilmour effort and was a very good album.

[@neaituppi7306]

0:45 Cartoon porn, I love it. lol

[@hydrake]

@AfternoonProductions Also....dude...wtf??? Pink floyd isn't just an 80s band....if anything it's a 70s band.... I mean...in reality they were monumentally active during the late 60s, through the 90s....

[@micheltaillefer22]

@HappyInsaneBicho Nice, at least someone knows what a band is all about.....

[@hydrake]

@AfternoonProductions I did keep one opinion. You're just freaking out because you don't have any information to back yourself up with. Btw, I have a lot of Pink Floyd albums. I have: Animals, Atom Heart Mother, Dark Side of the Moon, Division Bell, Momentary Lapse, The Wall (The demo version which was the first ever run through of the album before practicing the album and recording it for release), The Wall (production release), Wish You Were Here, and a bunch of live albums you don't have.

[@TheBoozeFairy]

When I was young I said something really stupid like floyd are junk... I was an idiot. I got better.. Best band ever IMO

[@znoahmarhoadskill]

no...this is empty spaces. what shall we do now is the track that starts "shall we buy a new guitar?..."

[@aeroman4life]

@rafro007 Rush is amazing.

[@kibbles1053]

@AliRad4c I desperately want to go again!

[@omarmhalilovic]

@HappyInsaneBicho but roger was brain of whole pink floyd and he made The Wall

[@LYMBO2006]

The should re-issue Is there anybody out there? with better sound

[@SlimPlum691]

yeah this song is called empty spaces and thecharmanator is right he yells pinky

[@AfternoonProductions]

@hydrake if u didnt notice, about 3 weeks ago, right about ur comment, u saw that i said "ok then, and by "straightening things up" you made matters worse... so why not drop it now?" right? so why do u continue the argument on your channel. From a comment made over a month ago?

[@kibbles1053]

@AliRad4c I went a year ago...DO IT.

[@AfternoonProductions]

@hydrake ok then, and by "straightening things up" you made matters worse... so why not drop it now?

[@wowser77]

This is NOT empty spaces. Its What shall we do now?

[@timshill]

wrong, this IS empty spaces

[@mrsoothslayer]

So you post up, "Empty Spaces" and not have, "What Shall We Do Now"?

[@edward4840]

Look at the playlist, it's next

[@AfternoonProductions]

@hydrake do you honestly think i don't know that? READ MY EARLIER COMMENTS!!!!

[@AfternoonProductions]

@hydrake ok, so its ok for u to defend ur channel but when i do it im a troll? yeah, that makes sense...

[@BenCulture]

Not exactly - Gilmour, Mason, and Wright consistently described developing The Division Bell by frequent jamming in DG's houseboat studio. BUT, as for A Momentary Lapse of Reason, Rick eventually said "Roger [Waters]'s cricticisms are fair. It's not a group album at all." THAT's the one I consider Gilmour's third solo album - Momentary Lapse. Written by DG and a host of outsiders. Sadly, I consider it better than Division Bell, in which Rick did more composing, TDB is just unlistenable, IMO.

[@James1toknow]

Pretty soon I think these two guys are going to fight over the rights to the PIG! LOL.

[@Rim90]

Roger waters.. why did you write the wall??? I did it for teh lulz!!!

[@Archiver4k]

Cause his last concert he spit on a fan for throwing a beer bottle at him and getting him wet

[@TheBoozeFairy]

When I was young I said something really stupid like floyd are junk... I was an idiot. I got better.. Best band ever IMO
