Pink Floyd: The Wall, February 8, 1980 Los Angeles Sports Arena, 2nd performance of the tour. Second night of seven scheduled performances.
First of the seven Wall show roios re-released as "THE DEFINITIVE WALL SERIES" in early 2001 by Man of Leisure Music (MoLM) [www.flupe.com] These seven shows were chosen because of their high quality, unique features and, at the time, very low circulation.
This particualr show had leaked out through a small number of trades, probably as much as three years before it was put out on the Floylive listserv.
Sourced and carefully re-mastered by Dan Kraft, aka Danalog.
More work went into this one than all the others combined. At least, that's the way I remember Dan describing to me all the tweaks he made to this show to clean it up, correct the speed and bring out fuller sound.
There are many reasons why this show is such a keeper. The obvious one is that the boys pulled off a much better show than the night before. (It's nice they didn't ignite the curtain this time.) This is also clearly the second best sound quality Wall roio of the six shows that have circulated from the California gigs, 13Feb80 being the best. There are interesting nuances to it, including what I would consider to be one of the coolest jams of the concert series! Another Brick part 3 (set one, track 12) is drawn out to an incredible 7 minutes, 45 seconds to give Wall builders that had fallen behind more time to catch up. The recorded music of the children singing during Another Brick part two fails to happen (set one, track 5, about one minute in) and the band kicks in and improvises. During Hey You, Dave sings both verses, when normally, Dave sings the first and Rog sings the second.
Originally, about 20 clones of the master copy were weeded or traded out in .wav format using EAC to rip and NTI CD-Maker to burn. Now, MoLM has embarked upon archiving all our releases in shn. Enjoy.
