Hey you is there anybody out there

Hey You Lyrics(Waters) 4:39

Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.

Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home.

But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, standing in the road
always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

"Well, only got an hour of daylight left. Better get started"
"Isnt it unsafe to travel at night?"
"It'll be a lot less safe to stay here. You're father's gunna pick up our trail before long"
"Can Loca ride?"
"Yeah, I can ride... Magaret, time to go! Maigret, thank you for everything"
"Goodbye Chenga"
"Goodbye miss ..."
"I'll be back"

When Pink Floyd toured, they only performed The Wall in New York and Los Angeles. Through a ticket broker I bought two tickets that were seventh roll center on the floor. The tickets were $45 each!

I remember every nuance of the show and I still wonder if there is a video of this excellent concert lurking somewhere.

Even though the recording is excellent, it can't touch the sonic/visual bombast that the show was. To see Roger Waters just giving his emotional heart in the performance, the visuals projected on the Wall, and the sonic effects gave the performance a eerie/creepy vibe. Some audience members were actually crying at some portions. And when the wall came down in the end and the band came out spotlighted in a golden glow, it felt like a healing.

Waters and Mason elected to wear earphones. Waters was singing into a wireless microphone (a technological first) that he would stuff into his back pocket when it wasn't in use. Each band member had a supporting musician, so everyone was doubled, even Mick Mason. Plus there were supporting vocalist.

To me, The Wall touched on many layers. The show had all the themes that Waters likes to vent about, losing his father at a young age, confining English upbringing, divorce and unhappiness at seeing people acting like sheep. Waters also touches on war rallies as he withdraws into his internal mental hell.

Let me give you some of the visuals.

When the MC (Cynthia Fox from radio station KLOS) came out and did her shtick, the stage had lots of "technicians" walking around the stage and adjusting equipment. While she was talking, the technicians parted and the group was already on stage ready to go, surprise, surprise. And they cut her off in mid-sentence.

There were speakers on stage as well as the sides of the Sports Arena, just like the "Wish You Were Hear" tour. So when 'In the Flesh" started, I thought that the sound wasn't as full. Then the end came and as the band played the last long chord and the airplane came over the audience, symbolizing the death of Water's dad during the war, the side speakers and the true wrap-around sound kicked in. Quite a rush.

When the helicopter section played, on stage the lighting technicians sat on top of flying saucer that were on the stage floor. They took off into the air and lit up the band, following the musicians around the stage.

The puppets (you can see them on the Waters show at Berlin) were mind blowing. Quite a feat to control their movements, so a nod to the supporting cast/roadies that you never see or hear about.

The movies were being played on a round screen above the band. Seeing the intertwining flowers turning into monsters during sex and one snapping the head off the others to the song "Empty Spaces" was quite a wallop.

When Waters sang "One of my Turns", he was outside the under-construction wall. Next to him was a little Pink doll which he mimics as he sang. As he screamed "Oh No" and the band went into solo, he jumped back behind the wall, and the wall continues to close.

During "Don't Leave me Now, two giant puppets were on top of the wall and just glaring at Waters while he sang with all that creepy loud breathing flowing around the speakers just overpowering him. And the wall gets completed except the one brick where Waters sings "Goodbye Cruel World". I never forgot the music that was playing between "Another Brick in The Wall Part 3" and "Goodbye Cruel World" and it is so nice to hear it again after all these years. What was weird was that the band was playing behind the Wall and you could only see the top portion of the stage, with all the supporting lights and flying saucer pods doing their thing. Gave a strange visual vibe.

The second act was performed with the audience having to deal with the wall. The movie was projected on the Wall itself and was done using three interlocked projectors. It was perfection. Even though sometimes only the center projector was showing a scene, the side ones were still on and the side film was pristine, you wouldn't know that they were on.

"Nobody Home" was done with a portion of the Wall that opened up showing a hotel room with Waters reclining in a chair watching TV.

"Comfortably Numb" was a high point, with Gilmore singing and soloing from the top of the wall. You could see that he was really into it. Must have been a thrill for him to be so high up and overlooking the crowd as his guitar solo spun around the monitors.

When the MC came out again, the band was pushed onto stage in darkness on a platform on rollers. When they were illuminated, everyone was wearing the masks that are on the cover of this CD and acted like robots.

In "The Show must go on", as Waters sings 'Are there any queers in the audience", the flying saucer light technicians actually go out over the audience looking for offenders going as far as their supporting booms let them.

On the CD right before Waters introduces "Run Like Hell", you hear him let out a shout as a spacey guitar cord is hit. That is when the inflated pig breaks through the wall.

"Waiting for the Worms" of course had the hammers marching across the entire wall which made it look like the whole wall was moving. "Stop" and "The Trial" was just Waters solo in front of the wall just spilling his guts out.

Then the wall came down to the booming base notes that shook the seats. The whole audience just let out screams of relief as it came down. The musicians came out from the side of the stage as themselves with Waters leading and playing the clarinet while kicking debris out of the way. They stopped and sang "Outside the Wall", then continued the march off to the other side of the stage. During the applause, the four members of Pink Floyd came out, took a bow, and everybody went home knowing that they had witnessed something special and never to be duplicated again.

I just received and listened to this live disc of Floyd's "The Wall", and I still get the same feelings that I did in 1979 when the album first came out. And back in those days, I listened to it over and over and over...I even had an artist friend of mine re-create the album inside cover, complete with all the animation drawings, on my living room wall. I had turned it into a pool room/party room, and my friends and I had some incredible times in that room. Or so I've been told. Anyway, most of the people I read on this review page say exactly what I feel. Some bemoan the fact that there isn't a DVD of this concert. But back then, what did you do? If you were like me, I would "get my head right", turn off the lights, and then turn my stereo up just short of distortion, and let my imagination and Floyd do all the work for me. Yes, it was a dark and disturbing place that Roger took us all to, but I'm quite sure that we could all relate to it, especially if you were working on your own Wall, as I'm sure we all were, if you'll just think about it. Anyway, what I can't understand is the negative reviewers of this piece of rock mastery. What are you expecting? If you didn't like the album, or the movie, or anything else that Floyd did, why do you even bother listening to this in the first place???You either love Pink Floyd, or you don't, and that's it. There isn't much of an in between. Therefore, suffice it to say, if you are a lover of anything Floydian, you must have this in your collection. If you don't really care about Floyd, this is not going to sway you. But if you know someone that doesn't have an opinion, say a younger person, this isn't really what they need to be weaned on. A novice should be started on "Dark Side of the Moon", "Wish You Were Here", and "Animals". If they like that, then move on to the earlier stuff, then unleash "The Wall". And that my friends, is my humble opinion.

The item ordered was received in record time. The seller even went above and beyond to follow up with me, to ensure that I was satisfied with the order (as it was a used CD). This extra care was greatly appreciated! I would highly recommend cd_celler_4 for your future purchases! 5 STARS!!!!!

As I was born in 1995 and have never had the chance to see Pink Floyd in concert, especially when they were in their prime with albums such as Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall, This album actually makes me feel like I'm at that show that took place in Earls Court back in 1980 and 1981. There were some versions of songs on this album that I liked better than the original studio version that came out in late 1979. A few examples are the live versions of In The Flesh, Mother, Another Brick in the Wall pt.II, Run Like Hell, and Comfortably Numb. This version of the wall also captures the last true performance of all four band members (Roger, David, Nick, and Rick) playing together, making it a sort of bittersweet to listen to as well. This album should be owned by anyone who loves Pink Floyd, it is not only a great live rock album, but is probably one of the best Pink Floyd recordings out there. I highly recommend it.
