Title:  The Wall  ...Live  - Nassau Coliseum - February 27, 1980

Overall Rating: B

Cover: Nicely laser printed stickers, but otherwise none.

Price Paid: I paid $20, a remarkably good deal.

Tracks:  Typical Wall show.  Just grab your normal Wall CDs or
cassette and look.  (Those with poor eyesight might try the LP,
which had slightly larger print.)  If you don't own The Wall on
any media whatsoever, you should go away and return only when
you've become a real Pink Floyd fan.

  I'm sure that there have been multiple reviews of this tape on
Echoes, so I won't bore you with all the details.  Suffice to say
that there are a few drawbacks.
  We see very little of the stage.  In fact, the only things that
we see are those in the spotlight.  For a few songs, this is only
slightly annoying, but around halfway through, it gets downright
bothersome.  "Turn the damn lights on!"  I'd once heard that the
footage from The Wall concerts hadn't been released because
they'd used the wrong sort of film.  I now believe it.  The only
other serious flaw is that a few seconds of the audio from One Of
My Turns is missing.
  It is certainly not the fault of the kind soul that obtained
the footage that it is so dark, so I can't really be too angry
about it.  The picture is quite crisp.  The audio is generally
quite clear.  Some of the solos are genuinely inspired.  I was
especially moved by Dave's "Goodbye Blue Sky".
  This is a significant piece of rock history as well as Floydian
history.  It deserves to be released, watched, and saved.  Buy it
if you see it.
