Pink Floyd In The Studio For The Wall's 35th Anniversary (A Top Story)


.
On Thursday Pink Floyd In The Studio For The Wall's 35th Anniversary was a top story. Here is the recap: The 35th anniversary of Pink Floyd's iconic album "The Wall" is celebrated on latest episode of the syndicated radio Show In The Studio: The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands. The show sent over these details:

By the late Seventies, Pink Floyd had all the commercial success a band could imagine, but not without battle wounds. The relationships between composer/ bassist Roger Waters and the other band members, as well as between Waters and the audience, had been strained and distorted by the time of The Wall. The only thing left was the music.

In a two-part, two week special InTheStudio radio program, host Redbeard speaks with The Wall architect Roger Waters, singer/guitarist David Gilmour, and percussionist Nick Mason about building one of Rock'n'Roll's crowning recording, live production, and cinematic achievements.

Based on a music superstar's plunge into the dark side of success which eventually results in "absolute isolation, both emotionally and physically, from the audience he or she purports to attract", Roger Waters sadly recounts the autobiographical nature of The Wall and the defining moment he remembers it coming to life.

"During a show in Montreal I finally got so angry that I spat at this child, he was 14 or 15 I suppose. When I got off stage afterwards I thought, ' What have I been reduced to? And what has happened to the relationship between the band and the audience?' So, The Wall was something that I had experienced very powerfully through most of that (Animals) tour, but specifically on that day." - Roger Waters
