Watching The World Upon The Wall represents the silver debut of Pink
Floyd’s June 16th, 1981 performance of The Wall at Earl’s Court in
London, which was both the next to last of the tour as well as Roger
Waters’ penultimate with the band (until the Live 8 reunion some 24
years later).
Previously, this show was only available via a handful of
fan-produced CDR titles such as Whistlers In The Audience, Warm Thrill
Of Confusion, and most recently, the Pro-CDR bonus disc Deepest Fear,
all of which utilized one of two audience recordings known to exist.
Cutting to the chase here, Godfather have simply outdone themselves
with this release, which is in a word, phenomenal. The tri-fold
cardboard sleeve is absolutely gorgeous, adorned with powerful images
from performances of “The Wall,” and there is a bonus 4 panel glossy
insert with a detailed history of the album, tour, and notes on this
performance. Of course, the audio content is obviously far more
important than the packaging, but again, Godfather have surpassed all
of their previous Floyd releases in that regard.
Sonically, this ranks amongst the very best recordings of this tour
featuring perfectly captured, three-dimensional sound abundant with
rich textures and crystal clear down to the slightest nuance; every
instrument, vocal, and sound effect/pre-recorded layer shines through
perfectly, making for an extremely rewarding, completely engulfing
listening experience.
There is the occasional, barely audible patch of distortion in a
couple of the louder passages, but honestly that’s only after being
micro-analytical with the headphones - cranked on a stereo, I doubt
anyone would be the wiser. All editing has been handled professionally,
with only a handful of extremely subtle changes in aural character
(some passages have a minor amount of hiss or indicate a cross-fade).
All music is intact apart from “Hey You” fading in just after the first
couple pick strokes of the 12-string guitar intro. The first half of
Gary Yudman’s opening speech is also missing from the beginning of Disc
1, commencing with “I would like to remind you, when you do leave the
theater tonight, be careful of your neighbor when you’re leaving.”
As for the band’s performance, first of all let me articulate the
fact that I approach The Wall the same way as Dark Side Of The Moon in
that I prefer to digest it as a complete suite the way it was intended,
rather than dissecting it into individual components. Nevertheless, the
band perform nearly flawlessly throughout the concert; the only minor
flub I detected was at 1:09 during “Hey You,” when Gilmour accidentally
mutes a note meant to sustain. It’s a great night for Roger Waters who
comes across as powerful and inspired, which is crucial to performances
of The Wall since virtually the entire story hinges upon his central
role within it.
What typically distinguishes one show from another on this tour are
Roger’s introductions to “Young Lust” and “Run Like Hell” which in this
case are: “This is called Young Lust. Lust! Lust!” and “Thank you all
very much. This next song’s for all the whistlers in the audience. Are
there any whistlers in the audience? Let’s all have a ~censored~ good
whistle. Pffft! (attempting to whistle) Christ, I must learn to do
that, it sounds like such fun. This is called Run Like Hell. I’d like
to see you all getting your hands together and having a good time.
Mmmm! Disco! Get down!” respectively.
Otherwise, all of the usual highlights are present (Gilmour’s
“Comfortably Numb” solo, Waters’ multi-faceted vocalizations, the
thunderous destruction of the wall onstage, the ecstatic audience
reactions, etc.), however, in light of his recent passing, I felt it
more appropriate to focus on how throughout the tour Richard Wright
truly asserted himself musically, despite having been relegated to the
status of a hired hand - and this evening was no exception. Wright’s
subtle and tasteful improvisations truly enhance the musical experience
of The Wall in a live setting; we’re fortunate to have these details
captured so well on Watching The World Upon The Wall, and can only
speculate how the actual studio album would’ve been elevated even
further had Richard’s role been more prominent.
The extra insert included with this set claims that from this
particular evening, only “The Show Must Go On” has been released
officially, however the fabulously detailed book authored by Vernon
Fitch and Richard Mahon Comfortably Numb - A History Of The Wall
suggests that “Mother” and “Hey You” were also used on the official Is
There Anybody Out There? album as well.
That aside, the real bottom line here is that Watching The World
Upon The Wall is another landmark release from Godfather, whose work is
consistently of the highest quality possible; this one not only
warrants my highest recommendation, I’ll go so far as to say it’s
essential. Bravo!
