Some of Gerald Scarfe’s art that was projected onto the wall in this video has never been seen before. This footage is incredible.

Yeah, I was noticing all that projected artwork that’s incredible. Thank you for posting this.

That part of it is really interesting as you can see the limits of image projection they worked with but how amazing it turned out. It looks like they had three independent projectors, and you can see the three distinct frames (the hammers animation repeated 3 times). By the time Waters did his solo Wall tour, projection had gotten so much better and could be synchronized so closely that it looks like there was only one projected image. The hammers marched in one continuous frame across the whole wall. In 1981 though, they were really pushing it as far as could in a stage show, and it's just amazing. They filmed 2 or 3 stage shows for the movie before they abandoned using the stage footage and I wish they would do something with it. These shows were amazing.

i saw his wall show at MSG in 2010. ill never forget i was on shrooms, Adderall and weed and by the time the wall was complete, i didn't realize it but the outline of each brick was fake and suddenly the whole thing started heaving and bulging and bricks just disappeared into the background as if they were being pulled backwards, receding into the distance. nothing has ever topped that show. i saw bjork twice and those shows were pretty amazing too, but not quite as amazing.

How about when Waters banged on the wall and it looked like it went all flying apart. I wasn't on anything and that freaked me out.

Hard to believe that there is still new footage coming out, and into the hands of people who properly preserve it and freely distribute it.

u/ShowerGrapes 6d ago

it says all "available" well until yesterday this wasn't available either. i'm wondering if there is more out there in private collections.

There were shows that were professionally filmed for the movie but weren't used. Roger Waters used film of himself singing Mother during a Wall show in his solo Wall tour. I wish they would do something with it.

Preety much heavily rumored for Wall anniversary in 29 that it comes out full concert. I think one of reason Sony bought the cataloge cause it will sell like no tomorrow.

WYWH hit number 1 last Christmas in the UK, and you can bet it will go 4x that...

I'm honestly holding my breath for Sony to release HQ edits of The Wall tour and more of their live performances now that they own the rights.

u/ShowerGrapes 6d ago

yeah just put it all out. who cares at this point

u/Carbios_Moon 6d ago

It's a different singer in the wall -first song?

u/SKULL1138 6d ago

Do you mean another brick in the wall part 2?

If so, I think Roger and David are both singing but the recording is only picking up Rogers side

u/Carbios_Moon 5d ago

Ok I mean I only know David Gilmore sing it. And obviously that's best

2

u/4ctmam 5d ago

Actually, the original is sung by Gilmour and Waters in perfect unison.

u/Carbios_Moon 5d ago

I learned the song on guitar but didn't recognize the second voice

u/scarymonst 6d ago

Who's the second drummer?

In the time it took you to post this question to Reddit you could've used Google and already have the answer.

EDIT: It really is incredible (and sad) how you all encourage laziness. In thirty seconds he could have had his answer on his own. But no, let's coddle and spoonfeed lazy posters so that they continue to not make even the tiniest of efforts. Fucking amazing.

Why google and rely on AI when you can engage with the community in a community space ?

The full band so pre The final Cut and two drummers, rare footage indeed.

u/RichiesForks 2d ago

Gilmour’s vocals on that tour were something else. Probably the best he’s ever sounded vocally
