Big PF fan since the 70s, I sometimes wonder about this album, probably the less publicized of their albums.

Find it hard to remember it since other album covers are so well known and The Wall Live by Pink Floyd is sort if an obscure, absent one. IMO.

Also remember that when Shine One, to my knowledge, the first PF boxset was released, the sellection was short a couple of albums, both chronologically and officially.
No signs of “More” maybe because it is a soundtrack but also “The final cut” unexplainable, since the following PF studio album was included in the box.

Funny story: year 2000 or so in some early IT days.
I was working on a client server maybe NT or Server 2000.
They were having some Internet connectivity issues and saw they had an FTP server (unsecured and enabled).
Somebody (hacker not anyone at the company) had found it and was using it to store and serve files.
I cut off the FTP sessions and disabled the FTP.
What was left over was the complete catalog of Pink Floyd in MP3 files. Eek
Which I promptly copied off. Smile
Back then this was per-napster and the way pirates would distribute their files using someone else's server and resources.

Those were the days!

Used to do a lot of data recovery, mostly kids infected PCs, and would tell my customers that “all your mp3 are belong to us” now and they gladly accepted.

Remember one customer’s password was “CatupecuMachu”. Couldn’t understand what he was saying and it turned out to be a local band. Quite enjoyable.

I remember when Pink Floyd announced The Wall shows in Los Angeles in late 1979 and tickets went fast, a week's worth of shows at the Sports Arena. I didn't go because the tickets were so damned expensive at the time, like 2-3 times the normal price. The standard explanation was that the elaborate staging (for the time) was so expensive, show after show.

My next door neighbor and a couple of other friends went, but they didn't remember much because they were all too stoned. I guess the standard experience of a Pink Floyd concert in those days.
