And I was one of the lucky ones getting to see them live twice in their absolute prime. April 12, 1975 at the Cow Palace in South San Francisco and in 1977 at the Oakland Coliseum Arena. Wow wow wow. Incredible. I still have the cassette audio tape from the 1975 show, I snuck a mini cassette recorder in and taped the entire 4 hour show. They played the entire Dark Side of the Moon Album, then Echoes Album and finally their new Album in 75, Wish you were Here.

[@raylong8296]

The Wall is a concept album and tells a story of Pink and his demons mainly his Mother, you need to listen from start to finish and how the Wall features in his life.

[@Lulabee2024]

Also, "Mother" can be interpreted other than literally. These folks are intelligent. I'll bet if they take time to listen beginning to end (The Wall album) they'll get it.

David Gilmour has this amazing ability to design his guitar solos to perfectly match the emotions of the song, it’s like the solo matches the mood and feeling and no one does this like him in my opinion.

[@fastecp1]

You can't get any better than Pink Floyd

[@helenespaulding7562]

Since you are still new to Pink Floyd, now would be the time to change the way you approach them. Go to the album , Dark Side of the Moon ( the highest selling album of the 70’s, snd in the top five in history) and start with the first track snd move through it. Do the same with the next album, Wish You Were Here and then Animals. Floyd ‘s albums are concept albums, meant to be listened to as an entire piece. Since you dont do entire album reactions, the next best thing is to do the tracks in order, so you get the context of each song. I would suggest doing it this way, starting with your next Floyd reaction. And once you’ve done those albums, go back and listen to the album Meddle. The entire second side is an amazing trip of a song. Their magnum opus imo. Echoes.

[@scottlaughlin9897]

Agreed. Call it blasphemy if you will, but I’ve always liked One of these Days better than Echoes. Just my taste. And I always catch crap for saying so. I do love echoes as well. The only two tracks worth listening to. IMO

[@secondchance6603]

Correct in both instances.

[@carllucas665]

Love your reactions. As I'm sure you know it's the location of the track in the album itself that is critical to understanding mixed emotions and drive behind the song. It is a spoiler if you don't plan to listen to the album from start to finish in order, but it might help to read up on the concept of The Wall. Again, thanks for your reactions. I am really enjoying your dynamic and thoughts.

[@chriswebb7822]

Yep! The Wall album pretty much demands you listen beginning to end, it's a complete story!

Roger Waters is my favourite Lyricist , I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live in Prague having seeing Pink Floyd in 1989 after Rodger Waters left the band

[@JoeandAngie]

[@John-k6f9k]

How can any guy with a pair of balls take Pink Floyd seriously? The squeaky voiced whispery singing, the laid back pacing, languid guitar, airy fairy lyrics and limp drumming. They're lullabies for stoned people. Furthermore their glamorization of drugs had led countless teenagers into the shady netherworlds of drugs and are one of the main reasons the Mexican cartels are doing big business. All the cartel killings are happening ultimately because boring whiny boomers and high school drop outs can smoke their dope to their boring soft rock band The Floyd. And no I'm not "trolling" I just absolutely DESPISE the music of Pink Floyd and the deadly drug culture they so embrace. *Fuck Pink Floyd and their wussy druggy music for lazy losers*

[@gustavogutierrez9086]

Great reaction! I love your passion for great music. Pink Floyd has a deep catalog from 1966 onwards that will blow your mind and will change your perception of what music can be and can make you feel. I can still remember (like it was yesterday) when I first listened as a 12 year old to The Dark Side of the Moon album in the summer of '73. Once I listened to that album my brain was rewired. If nothing else, listen to the song The Great Gig in the Sky from that album, to this day it still makes me cry. Love

[@msmilie]

"The Wall", like many Floyd records when Roger Waters was in the band, typically revolve around a theme so it's best to listen to those records in full. This record in particular is telling a story in which each track is a chapter. I strongly recommend you two checking out the album from start to finish to best appreciate it.

[@paulm1162]

you really need to watch the entire film "The Wall" explains it all, the wall is the self protection, the character Pink has built up around himself as self protection from various hurts he suffered as a child/adult

[@stephenmaclean3422]

Growing up listening to this I always felt the You in this song is the individual’s outer self acting out, and building the wall to protect an inner “Me”, Yet the “Me” is the subconscious deep inside, asking the outer self to listen and work together because “United we stand - divided (psychotic break) we fall.

The film the wall is worth a watch and puts a visual story to all the songs on the whole album . It’s a crazy film to watch that takes you on a total rollercoaster of emotions. The whole album is just typically epic Floyd . Bob Geldoph from the boomtown rats band plays the lead in the film

[@alan73795]

For an added treat, check out David Gilmour's self-titled first solo album (1978). It came out between the albums Animals and The Wall, and you can definitely hear Gilmour working out progressions and solos that would later become integrated into some of the biggest hits on The Wall, most notably an instrumental called "Raise My Rent" which is basically a first draft for "Hey You". Its also just a great album on its own, with Gilmour's signature vocals and guitar creating that Pink Floyd atmosphere. "There's No Way Out Of Here", "Short and Sweet" and "I Can't Breathe Anymore" are classics.

You did a great job with you’re interpretation of the song. You picked up on the main themes of the entire album: Self isolation, the wall is metaphorical.

[@FooDogDat]

To listen to the one song is like reading a random chapter in a book, you might get an impression of the story, but you have no context for it. 'The Wall' is a concept album and rock opera, much like 'Tommy' by The Who. Both were made into movies as well. Pink Floyd had an elaborate theatrical concert tour of The Wall with massive props and puppets. Get the album, watch the movie. One of the bands and an all time great album, I believe ranked second only to 'The Dark Side of the Moon.'

[@johncoppinger3208]

[@grahamhowes6904]

There is so much that Floyd created that stands the test of time - just artistry of the highest order. Check out ECHOES. Personally for me the last live version Gilmour at Gdańsk when he and Rick played it for the last time before Rick passed. That’s very special. Don’t forget modern artists like Steven Wilson / Porcupine Tree or Big Big Train. Try Anaesthetize at TILLBURG for Steven and East Coast Racer for BBT.

The song is about the character Pink who has built a wall around him and has become so introverted, he can not see a way back to reality. He’s pleading for help but in the song the lyrics seem to be filled with anger resentment and blame. The movie does a decent job of portraying this concept.

Both "Comfortably Numb" and "Hey You" are thematically linked on their album The Wall. From The Dark Side of the Moon try "Time," with equally great lyrics, and "The Great Gig in the Sky," with as much meaning as any lyrics can express, or, from Wish You Were Here, "Have a Cigar," which is a criticism of the music industry.
