The Infamous Pink Floyd Concert That Inspired 'The Wall'

Thanks for including me! Great work as always.

I was there, waaay back in the rafters. It sounded and looked great from there and apart from Roger balling out the audience, it didn't seem like anything was amiss. To that point, it was the greatest concert I'd ever seen.

I'm a lucky guy, I saw Pink Floyd in '75 & '77. Roger Waters in '86 and Gilmour's Pink Floyd in '87 outside in the pouring rain. Some of my favorite concerts...

I was fortunate enough to see this Live In Concert, and a ton of others! What a Ride It was!

David Gilmour remembers the performance as a bad gig and he had equipment malfunctioning and also hit many bad notes on the performance

This was awesome. Pink Floyd are a great band. Cheers!

was there on the floor near the middle sound was good

14:13 Kurt Loder, best-suited for MTV (“money for nothing;chicks for free”), wasn’t the only clueless critic. I remember reading a critique of The Wall in a new avante garde college publication that a friend produced. The piece was written by this dude who clearly didn’t understand the album. I thought from the start the album had “1984” images all over it.

Merci beaucoup.

By a happy coincidence this video also came out on the 6th of July. 😜

born and lived in Montreal for 58 yrs. Seen Floyd perform twice & Waters once. Has always been an odd feeling of pride that such powerhouse album was partly influenced by Water's & Gilmour's experience of surreal chaos at the Big-O

Awesome band wish they would have kept going

The wall is the wall we build around our selves.

Pink Floyd é uma paixão avassaladora!! Amo David,mais Roger é o cara

I wonder why the guy who was spat at, has never come forward?

9m 54s It still sounds like Roger says "Come back Pig" to me, not "Kid".

All the old rock stars love playing live now that the income from record and CD sales have evaporated.

That's my sexy looking babe Roger Waters and band.they was great back then Roger still is the greatest to me. I seen that concert back then.

~~ for many older fans - the 'Animals' record is preferred over 'The Wall' - but that's not taking anything away from The Wall - a record does not sell over 30 million copies by accident - but The Wall did perhaps suffer from overplay on FM radio - and the film would have been much better if the original concept of a concert film had been done - a real film maker & crew made 'Live at Pompeii' a decade earlier - so one or more of the original Wall performances could have been filmed properly if the right people had done it ..
