Pink Floyd The Wall 1980/1981 Show-Identification

Viele von uns sammelten früher einmal begeistert Pink Floyd Konzerte auf Musikkassetten. Das war eine kostengünstige Alternative zu den teuren Vinyl-Bootlegs. Jahrelang tauschte ich auf diese Weise mit anderen Sammlern Kassetten. Besonders gefragt waren die 31 The Wall Konzerte 1980/1981. Wir hatten lange Listen von unseren „Tapes“, die wir untereinander immer austauschten, das alles schickten wir per Postweg hin und her, man wollte immer am neuesten Stand sein. Wichtig war immer die wievielte Generation der Kopie man besitzt. Aufgrund der logischerweise immer gleichen Setliste bei The Wall und der fast auf die Sekunde gleichlang gespielten Songs, wusste man nicht immer ob es sich bei dem Konzert, das auf der Kassetten stand, auch tatsächlich um dieses handelte!

Young Lust & Run Like Hell

Eine große Hilfe zur Beurteilung, ob man auch das richtige Konzert erhalten hatte, waren die Ansagen von Roger Waters. Seine Ansprachen halfen enorm dabei, die Konzerte zu unterscheiden, sie zu identifizieren und zuzuordnen. Waters sprach vor Young Lust und Run Like Hell zum Publikum. Ian Russell (In The Flesh Co-Autor) hat vor vielen Jahren Waters Ansagen zusammengefasst und den Konzerten zugeordnet.

Waters schimpfte in seiner Rolle als Diktator teils heftig. So bezeichnete er den Journalisten Alan Jones vom Melody Maker, der einen negativen Konzertbericht über The Wall schrieb, namentlich als Stupid Shit.

Pink Floyd The Wall 1980 – 1981 Tour

7.2.1980 Los Angeles Sport Arena (3)

Das Konzert musste wegen eines Feuers auf der Bühne während “Empty Spaces” abgebrochen werden.

1. Es brennt auf der Bühne.

ROGER WATERS: Hold it!…whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop the film. We’ve uh, we’ve decided that the best thing would be to put this fire that we have up here out. We’ll scroll back to the beginning of that bit then and we will carry on when everything is under control. I’m sorry but that’s the best thing to do, so just be patient. If we can have the house lights, that would be good.

2. Nachdem das Feuer gelöscht wurde.

ROGER WATERS: One, two. Wasn’t that exciting? OK, well as soon as we can have the house lights, we will go back to the bit in the story where the moon was out, and the clouds were going across the moon. We’ll go back to the bit in the story where the moon was out and the clouds were going across the moon. You remember the bit where there was a moon with clouds going across it? You remember that bit don’t you Andy? Remember the moon and the clouds… yeah, that’s the bit. OK. Thank you very much for waiting.

3. Young Lust

ROGER WATERS: Thank you. Get down rave. Like to introduce a young lad from the Fens.

8.2.1980 Los Angeles Sport Arena (2)

Auch bei diesem Konzert gab es technische Probleme, die die Floyd zwingen eine etwas ausgedehntere Instrumentalpassage vor “Goodbye Cruel World” zu spielen. Diese Passage wurde auf diversen Bootlegs (Little Black Book with my Poems in) als “Almost Gone” bezeichnet. Später dann offiziell als The Last Few Bricks betitelt.
