I seen the Division Bell tour in Rotterdam, September 1994. A little excursion to Amsterdam a few hours before the concert truly made this day very special indeed.
I like to think David is aware he is quoting Spinal Tap when talking about writing with Polly. He has this little knowing smile while he’s saying “she tells me that’s good or that’s crap”. I’m not criticising by the way, the Division Bell is one of my all time favourite albums
YAY! Footage from Lisbon! Never got to see this show cause I was too young :( Pretty awesome that i'd at least get a glimpse of how it was. Cool stuff man!
I used to work as local crew at concerts doing backline load in and load out and I always got a kick out of the ego of the permanent roadies. The ones with the grey pony tails thought they were rockstars.
I hope my ex Kelly Onn remembers the song Keep Talking . Because obviously the division bell tolled between us when this album was recorded. Nothing changed And we should never have tried again. 30 years gone , now gone for good. It wasn't worth it
My brother was in that concert in Lisbon... LUCKY HIM!!!!!!!!! He loves to show off his plastified ticket to bug me... but I was only 8 years old at that time lol
Nick always whines about bootleggers. We wouldn't have some of the stuff without them. We wouldn't have anything from Animals if it weren't for those bootleggers as bad as the quality is. They never played anything from Animals on there 1988 and 1994 concerts either. The recent release of the back catalog stuff is great but look how long it took to get that.
Yes, Roger was great at writing, but so was Syd. And when Syd was good, Roger was writing "Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk", you know, Doctor Doctor, choke on bread, pain is red, gold is lead, etc. It's not who is a good writer, it's when and what.
Ah, no. Syd was very hit and far more miss. Roger was an ideas man. He didn't write all the lyrics. Gilmour and Wright were also involved in writing the lyrics.
boonexy Well, Gilmour wrote a song called You Gotta Be Crazy, both lyrics & music, which Waters turned into Dogs for the album Animals. The music stayed the same but the lyrics got edited by Waters, plus he added some lines himself. So Gilmour at least co-wrote the lyrics of Dogs. You can find that Gilmour version of You Gotta Be Crazy (Dogs) here on youtube - check it out, it's interesting!
I think David's last comment here refers to finally, begrudgingly, putting Polly on the payroll. Imagine having to split your royalties with a girl. UUUUgggggggghhhhh.
SUCKRPUNCHED comments are accurate. LEVINS comments are absurd. My comments: Dark Side of the Moon; best album of all time. All lyrics written by Roger Waters.
