Pink Floyd - Is There Anybody Out There? (Live)

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

[@manifestgtr]

this song used to scare the hell out of me when I was a kid...I always pictured someone wandering around in the pitch black after the end of the world

[@AlanPostScript]

I've talked to a couple audio engineers about Pink Floyd. I've said the same thing. Their music sounds so timeless. It doesn't have your typical 70s or 80s production standards stamped all over it, at least best I can tell.

[@PaulAllPro]

Agree. I couldn't tell that this album was made in the 70's i couldn't even guess

[@JanineReports]

Gilmour is simply amazing in this...with just a few notes on an acoustic he weaves a beautiful song...why can't music today be this stunning?

[@belladonichaze3213]

two words: record companies

[@alejandroguerra9413]

because it's not on the radio... go to spottify

[@binksfloyd6149]

Alejandro Guerra agreed strongly. If you’re looking for good modern music, I wouldn’t go on the radio. There are plenty of great artists nowadays that don’t have the spotlight unfortunately.

[@koltukdegnegi2952]

It’s not Gilmour’s song.Roger made this masterpiece

[@lionofnaples]

@@koltukdegnegi2952 technically it's neither. Roger came up with the song, but a session classical guitarist is responsible for writing the fingerpicked guitar section of the song.

[@belladonichaze3213]

This is one of my favorite solos ever

[@Ol-Red]

No one could ever begin to convince me that Pink Floyd wasn't the best band that ever was.

[@-adamboommy116]

He didnt compose it

[@coldshot1723]

The greatest damn band to ever do any damn thing ....

[@braddooley9586]

Absolutely

[@MademoiZelleZ]

My mom used to play it at guitar... it reminds me childhood... without my father... My mom was alone to raise us... and she played guitar a lot... It is a nice souvenir anyway

[@mnj1092]

she knew good test of music

[@mesalaza]

I played this song at my moms Rosary on my Martin D41. Brought a lot of my family to tears as I played for her one last time :(

[@magdabo312]

I'm so sorry, please take my sympathy. Whe my Dad died in 2002 we played "shine on you crazy diamond" at his adoption. And nearly everyone was touched.

[@k2thepeak]

Wow, Martin. As poignant as it gets. RIP to your Mom. Great tribute that I wish I could’ve heard. I’m a fingerstylist myself (HD-35) and have been working on it for a few days. As it’s now taking good form, it is choking me up as I play it. Special period in my life - Frosh year in college.

[@rodney49342]

I am 69 and not hardly does a day go by I don't listen to Pink Floyd and Frequently Requested by my Children, Grandchildren, and Great Grandchildren. No Generation Gap when it comes to Pink Floyd. There music is timeless and ageless

[@eyezwideopen]

This has always been my favorite piece of acoustic. Out of all the typical songs like "stairway to heaven" that all players have learned at some point, I'm amazed to find that no one has thought to learn this one. It is very moving. Absolutely amazing. Maybe I can be someone who will be able to play it : )

[@k2thepeak]

Do it, Brenda! It’ll not the most difficult to get the arpeggios down especially if you have some fingerstyle background. But playing it with the right dynamics and emotion is what makes so special. Gilmore didn’t like how he was playing it during recording so they brought in Joe DiBlasi (LA session legend) to nail in on a classical guitar. Sounds great on any (steel) 6-string imo. JerrysGuitarBar has a note-for-note tab. He’s great, btw.

[@phlippewilsin1387]

Absolutely. I started playing this at a backyard campfire thingy. Buddy says “oh this one! I know tons of people who do this…” When i finished, he went “Whoaaa, dooood!!!” I said “i thought you knew tons who did this?” He said, “ohh yaaah, but never like this, never with such feeling and emotion!!!” A very honourable yet proud moment for me… 🤗 🎸 🔥 (Sorry no acoustic guitar emojee 😤🤷🏻‍♂️ )

[@souhityogupta7704]

The most relaxing music to attain serenity in our mind. Thank you Great David Gilmour.

[@Kreative3DMedia]

David didn't write this guitar part, Pink Floyd didn't know what to do with this piece and eventually brought in a studio musician who came out with this mesmerising guitar part.

This is the song that got me into Pink Floyd and still is my favourite My father used to play this on guitar a lot and I would always listen to this song when he played

[@Bevy76]

i woke alone at 4:15am with this playing in my mind... now 5:00am I am quite enjoying this vid...thanx a ton

[@RoberMatts]

I don't know if it's only me, but I've heard a lot of music in my short life, and I think The Wall is one of the best albums of rock music ever made, at least top five if not the best.

[@FrancescoSpingola]

Is There Anybody Out There? Is There Anybody Out There? Is There Anybody Out There? Is There Anybody Out There? Incredible Pink Floyd!!!! This song,according to me is one of the saddest pink floyd songs.....it makes me cry everytime I listen to................few words I can write......THANK YOU PINK FLOYD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marilynechenuet2035]

This music is a pure wonder, it's beautiful, there is no denying it ; nostalgic, a bit sad, i LOVE it. It one of my favorite. In fact... it's so wonderful that i would have deserved to be much looonger ! (I always have the impression they are 2 to play :-))

[@seggyRK]

Timeless

[@HardRockMiner]

This peace has entranced me since the first time I heard it 20 years ago. I started playing guitar so I could play this. Its haunting and just plain beautiful

[@MrSkullfaceflamenco]

3 chords and a relatively simple arpeggio. Get the tab, learn it! It's a fun song to play.

[@braddooley9586]

Easy to play

Get the tab... an acid one ;)

You know, since Pink Floyd isn't going to be releasing anymore new music and they keep on re-releasing The Wall movie, you figure they could release a concert blu-ray of the original Floyd performing it live.

The best part about this is that David didn’t play this on the album- he could never get it right but here he is playing it live and did a damn fine job at it. Shows his determination

[@Davo-007]

First I've heard of that. 🤔

[@john63van]

Classically melodic and beautifully spacey. Right up there with High Hopes as two of their hidden gems.

[@raelarise]

Totally agree - the Aussie Floyd are stunning. Was lucky to see their Wall Tour last year at the Albert Hall - truly brillant.

[@camaro25]

this is my favorite song to play on my guitar. Its not really that hard but yet it is so fun and beautiful to play.

[@grovestand]

my favorite guitar piece on this album :D gives me chills every time i hear it

[@reandor]

Wow, I was 1 year 25 days old when they gave this concert. This album is the only music album I don't listen because I am scared of losing my mind. Absolute greatness..

[@RubbelisPro]

I remember reading somewhere that who actually performed it on the album is unknown, as Gilmour was unsatisfied with his take on it, cool to see that he eventually performed it live!

[@andysingletonefc]

Me too

[@davidcammilleri5526]

I believe this is the most beautiful acoustic guitar work in music. It flows so well.

Pink floyd must of been my 20th or so concert i have ever been to and it is the ONLY one I went to sober.....(well maybe a valume or 2) but NOT drunk and I went to the concert called pulse and I was on the floor 4th row back...I swear I had died and gone to heaven...they are the only band I have ever heard live that sounds like they do on cd...exactly....I wanted to be in a lounge chair and just kick back...the best concert in the world...would pay a shitload of money to see them again!

this song is amazing! it was also in the movie "the wall". love this song!

i'm 43 years old and this never get old.

me too. i was falling asleep and i was listenening to this album for the first time. i fell asleep and when i woke up i still had my ipod on. this song came on and i was trippin. i was like "What the fuck??". then the guitar kicked in and i was like "OHHH....hehe"

[@MMID303]

pause at exactly 1:30 when the big camera flash happens...just keep clicking pause and play in short quick "pulses", and you will be able to see the whole wall light up before your eyes!

[@fantominc]

Thank you, such great footage and beautiful audio..shine on

Wish this was longer. Way too short for such a great song.

[@EphemeralProductions]

I want to see Roger doing the Wall someday. I will be looking forward to and at the same time dreading the time this song comes on, because how it moves me and creeps me out at the same time. One of the best songs on the Wall for sure....as well as one of the absolute best the Floyd has done.

[@stoffeboyei]

this almost makes me cry. soooooooooooooo beautiful

[@timshill]

i saw the same concert on the 1st of may in glasgow, amazing, couldnt believe the encore they did as well, what a bonus

[@ThePFRG]

What the fuck are you talking about. The show was never performed in Glasglow and never in the month of May. They never did an encore in this show either.

[@deanofoy]

floyd were on tour with roger at this point,if you know what i mean roger is the pinkfloyd,he wrote almost all of the lyrics himself, most of the music was roger too. comfortably numb was meant to be on david gilmours solo album but they were out of time, so he put it forward to roger who obviously thought that it would fit into the wall a treat,

[@iiinitr0]

i had this wholeee album on my ipod from my aunts BF, (he had the live version of it :):)) then i had to sync my ipod with a new computer and o how i miss that album.. wonderful piece of work that makes you think and think..

[@jcalli66]

one of my favorite pieces off one of my all-time favorite albums. Love the background vocals kicking in at 2:20. I remembered reading years ago that the version that made it to the album was played (maybe-?) by the co-producer Bob Erzin ; that Gilmour got very frustrated trying to get it 'just right' in the studio and finally gave up. Don't know how true that is...

[@k2thepeak]

Very true, gave album credit to the session player they brought in although they mis-remembered his first name. Joe DiBlasi - LA session legend. And how about the violin at 2:30ish? 3 notes? Wow.

[@VegasJTW]

Genius!

[@saveusbloodymess]

[@FrancescoSpingola]

The name is ''s There Anybody Out There?-The Wall Live '80'' It is a DVD containing the concert of 1980 and it was published in 2000

[@ktknoks8718]

Fun fact - on the album version of this song, the acoustic part was not played by Gilmour. It seems he was not happy with his final recording, so they hired a session player for the same.
