The Wall is Pink Floyd's worst album besides Ummagumma, IMO.

I've seen a touch of it, and have seen snippets of earlier Wall shows, but I know it's going to be amazing.  Can't wait to see what Waters does with todays tech.

It's honestly the best show (as in lighting, effects, etc...) that I've ever seen. Where are your seats?

Just got back from the city after seeing The Machine at BB Kings, and I must say that it was one of the best shows that I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The music was unbelievable, the musicians were all very much into what they were doing and looked like they were having a blast, and the crowd was pretty cool too, singing along to every single lyric, guitar lick and synth riff.

I wrote each song down as they played the set because I am a nutcase and I like to keep my last.fm near perfect so here's what was played in order:

Set 1
"In the Flesh?"
"The Thin Ice"
"Another Brick in the Wall (Part One)"
"The Happiest Days of Our Lives"
"Another Brick in the Wall (Part Two)"
"Sorrow"
"Speak to Me"
"Breathe"
"Time"
"Breathe Reprise"
"Have a Cigar"
"The Fletcher Memorial Home"
"Hey You!"
"Pigs (Three Different Ones)" - this was the highlight of the night for me seeing as it's my favorite PF song off my favorite PF album. The talk box solo was fucking epic.

Set 2 - The frontman said that they wrote this set to be very psychedelic, which was awesome. Almost every song had an extended solo section, increasing the length of each of these songs by a few minutes each.
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-IX)" - Yes, the entire thing!
"Keep Talking"
"Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" - They jammed on this one for quite a while, and it was truly awesome, I had completely forgotten about this song and when they started to play it I was very surprised and excited.
"Fearless" - Another one that surprised me, I absolutely adore this song. Audience interaction was also epic.
"One Slip"
"Wish You Were Here"
"Interstellar Overdrive"
"Lucifer Sam"
"Run Like Hell"

Encore:
"Careful With That Axe, Eugene"
"Brain Damage"
"Eclipse"


Over 20 songs, almost three full hours. What a night. So blown away at how good the show was.

EDIT: Also, 4,000th post!

I can't recall which is which, but it was the version where it starts slow and ominous, with the vocals almost whispering, building and building until there's like a huge explosion of sound that goes on for minutes. Pretty sure it's the Ummagumma version but I honestly don't remember.

EDIT: Just relistened to both versions, it was definitely the Ummagumma one.

So much better than The Wall.  I love it.  It's greatly improved live.

Has anyone else here taken the time to make a complete, full studio-version of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"?

I made my own, which clocks in at 25:42. What I did was use the Echoes version of the track, using the wind-sound cross-fade they did between parts V and VI, then tacked on the complete original album versions around that cross-fade for a seamless edit that makes it possible to enjoy the WHOLE songs (Parts I-IX) without interruption.

I'm only bringing this up now because I'm sitting here listening to it and what an amazing song it is. :hefdaddy

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Yeah, the Echoes version is the one you hear on the radio sometimes.  It's cool that they at least tried to preserve the structure of the song, kinda like the 11-minute version of "Thick as a Brick," but it's still an edit.

I tried making my own "seamless" edit back in the vinyl days, recording it onto a cassette, just to do it.  It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't exactly seamless, and I prefer to listen to the whole album anyway.

Shine On is probably my favourite PF song, and I can't even listen to the original. I heard the Pulse version first, which at thirteen minutes I assume is the same as the edit, and it's the only version I've ever needed.

Agreed the DG-led Floyd does a great job with this song. But if you've never listened to pts 6-9, I highly recommend you do so. Pt6 is an awesome DG slide guitar showcase, pt7 is a reprise of pt4 with another verse, pt8 is a Rick Wright section (the only section I am not totally high on) and pt9 is an atmospheric, almost funereal section.

Do you mean have I listened to the WYWH version? If so, yes, I had the album for years, I tried listening to it tons of times. That whole latter section added nothing of any worth to the edit version. It was like they decided to drag the song onwards and downwards for like ten more minutes.

My bad, I read that as that's the only version you've ever heard. I think pts 6 and 9 are great additions, and 7 adds a nice reprise to the verses, with only pt8 seeming out of place. But like In The Presence of Enemies, I rarely would think to listen to the whole song all the way through.

Hate to say it but most probably not, after all, it won't be The Wall's anniversary for long (he's pushing it as it is).

Where do you live? He usually plays two-to-three nights in each city, to try to allow everyone who wants to see it see it.

Just here in the tri-state area, he played Madison Square Garden (NY) four or five times, Nassau Colliseum (NY) twice, Izod Center (NJ) twice, and the XL Center (CT).

I've always loved the quiet part in "Dogs" where you hear the dogs barking, then they run it through the vocoder, so the chords on the keyboards are barking.  Those guys were nuts.
