Product Description
From Amazon.com
Exactly what was Pink Floyd's The Wall? Rock opera? Concept album? Performance art? Mere entertainment? While the truth may lie in a combination of all of the above, during the band's tour of 1980-81, The Wall was a bona fide spectacle. More than anything, Is There Anybody Out There? captures the volume, the bombast, and the grandeur of these famed performances with remarkable accuracy. Meticulously recorded, these concerts are astonishingly faithful to the band's studio versions and flow out of the speakers with practiced authority and absolutely fantastic sound. That said, there are few new revelations to be gained from hearing The Wall live that can't be gleaned from the studio version. Some moments do have an additional spark, however. "Run Like Hell" is launched with blistering intensity, and the first notes of "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1" will surely raise a shiver. The release also includes two tracks ("What Shall We Do Now," "The Last Few Bricks") left off the original release due to space constraints. Essential for Floyd fanatics as well as those wishing to hear just how terrific a live concert can sound. --S. Duda
Chronique amazon.fr
Le temps mis par Pink Floyd à se décider à publier cet album - 20 ans - est finalement exactement proportionnel à la démesure du projet. "The Wall" restera une des pièces maîtresses de l'un des plus mégalomanes parmi les mégalomanes : Roger Waters, bassiste-chanteur et créateur de cette source musicale d'anthologie, placée au centre d'une oeuvre déjà d'envergure. Si le répertoire du Floyd se décline presque uniquement en gros morceaux, celui-ci, dans sa présentation publique, bénéficie du statut à part d'un véritable objet de culte. Le hasard n'a aucune place dans ces plages, qui captent au plus près, avec une exigence maniaque du détail, un soin pathologique, le son de la guitare de David Gilmour et des invités et celui de ces voix qui n'appartiennent qu'au Floyd. Pourtant, malgré la dimension extravagante de l'entreprise, c'est drôle, cette musique reste proche, presque intime. C'est sans doute là le grand génie de ce groupe essentiel. --José Ruiz

This review is from: Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall: Live 1980-1981 (2CD) (Audio CD)
This set really shows how good Floyd was live. Gilmour is one of the most underrated rock guitarists, I feel, but on this he really shreds it, on par with Clapton or Jimmy Page. His style is much more understated, though, so don't expect fireworks.That said, my one complaint is that this isn't from a single show. They picked the best takes from the shows in LA, New York, London and Dortmund and pieced together a complete Wall. To me, this is artistically dishonest. Having heard most of the Wall performances, I know they could have easily released, say, 2/27/80 or 2/28/80 and still had release-worthy performances. For me, knowing it wasn't all one show kind of ruins it, but it still is an excellent document of one of, if not THE best live band ever.
