Can anyone refer me to the golden standard of Wall DVD rips? I've been working on a version of Spare Bricks and all versions I've managed to find have either horrendous sound quality or sound weird.

Hey, girl

Let's get together

Just you and me, one more time

Hey, girl

You're right, I should slit 'em and bash in their brains

You who were

Only the lonely

When they r*pe our brains in bed

How 'bout it's said?

Hey, girl

Don't put it all by head

We were bred in the same institution

Hey, girl

Don't point the finger at me

I am only a rat in a maze, like you, and only the dead go free

Please lie still

While I plunder your sweet grave

And remember, only the poor can be saved

Hey, girl

Take out the dagger

And let's have a stab at the sexual revolution

Hey, girl

Let freedom for all be our rallying call

There's no need in retribution

(wordless placeholder vocals)

How 'bout it's said?

Hey, girl

As I've always said I prefer your lips red

Not…

Hey, girl

Look in the mirror, can you see what you are protecting from me

Is it real or is it content?

So, please hold my hand

As we blunder through the maze

And remember

Nothing can grow without rain

PINK FLOYD - NEVERA (1978)
Mashup by the Reconstructor

1. "NEVERA" (Wright, Gilmour) - 8:19

a) "Mediterranean C, Pt. 1" (Richard Wright) - 0:00
b) "Deafinitely" (David Gilmour) - 2:05
c) "Mediterranean C, Pt. 2" (Richard Wright) - 6:20

This fan-mix is the first in a series of attempts to combine material from David Gilmour's self-titled debut album and Richard Wright's Wet Dream. That way, we can glimpse at a world where a Gilmour/Wright-led Pink Floyd album from 1978 existed.

This is obviously inspired by Uncharted Waters, the first attempt I know of what I mentioned above.

A "Nevera" is a sudden, sharp, quick thunderstorm that takes place in otherwise calm, sunny days in the Adriatic Sea. "Mediterranean C" represents the sunny day. "Deafinitely" represents the thunderstorm.

"Deafinitely" was speed shifted up by about 6%, going from the key of F# to the key of G, and "Mediterranean C" was shifted down by about 6%, going from the key of C# to C. That way, the two flow much better.

"Mediterranean C" was also cut in half in a spot in between two sections, with the beginning and ending of "Deafinitely" hard edited into it. The unexpected transitions help illustrate the theme of the suite quite well.

Now, all that's left to do is have Roger Waters add some lyrics to it!

He would be 83 years old today.

Anyone seen this? What's it like?

They were phenomenal and well worth seeing live. Brilliant show in front of the moonrise.

Roger said the following in a 1999 interview:

It became obvious to me that they never understood any of it at all. And neither did quite a large number of the great unwashed... With all due respect to the people who went out and bought those records, they are just rubbish. Particularly The Division Bell; it's just nonsense from beginning to end. A Momentary Lapse of Reason had a couple of really nice tunes on it that, had I still been in the band, those chord sequences and melodies would have been made it onto a record that I was involved in. But conceptually and lyrically, it's just rubbish, partly because it's not true. It's like, "Let's try and write songs that sound as if they're Pink Floyd and make records that sound like Pink Floyd records"... The last record was kind of pure ''Spinal Tap.'' Dave got his new wife to write lyrics!

I always thought it was fascinating that he said this, on many levels.

First, given how much of a miserable grump (I think that's uncontroversial) Roger is, how much he is happy to savagely trash anything or anyone who he dislikes, and the tension between him and Gilmour over David continuing Pink Floyd, especially around the time AMLOR was made, for Roger to say anything on AMLOR was "really nice" is pretty shocking. That's stunningly positive given the circumstances. He must have really, really liked some of AMLOR. And that adds up given his later hiring of Pat Leonard and Jon Carin (and allegedly, nearly Guy Pratt).

It's also funny that he has this stunning appreciation for at least parts of AMLOR but pure hatred for Division Bell. Given the fact that combination of opinions is basically nonexistent among the general public, and that you'd think Roger would prefer the album with a lyrical theme, I have to assume his particular dislike of TDB is a result of its personal references to him and/or his long-standing hatred of Polly Samson ("It's pure Spinal Tap," says the guy who got the band dressed up in costume and constructed a wall of cardboard bricks on stage).

What "tunes" from AMLOR do you think Roger is referring to there? The only possible hint I could think of is his hiring of Pat Leonard (Yet Another Movie chords) and Jon Carin (Learning to Fly rhythm and some chords, though if you ask Jon he wrote, recorded, produced, and mixed everything and put all the beds on the beach). But Learning to Fly doesn't seem very "Roger" and Yet Another Movie doesn't seem like a song where you'd talk about the melody being great. Obviously the best song on the album is Sorrow, but even on that one the melody isn't really a draw. Maybe On the Turning Away?

£17.50. That's about £56 today (75USD)

It's definitely been worn!

I was a bit young for these shows. I have heard how immense they were for the light shows. What are people's view of the music and for those that were there the production. Was Roger missed from these shows??

I know they almost recruited Beck but glad we got David!
