It is arguably the most ambitious and iconic concept album ever created, written by a band that was coming apart at the seams. Pink Floyd the Wall. It was Born out of the mind of mad genius Roger Waters one of the rock era’s most provocative and insightful lyricists, its genesis began when a stadium-sized concert went sideways. Feeling disconnected from his audience, Roger Waters lost it when one fan tried to incite a riot. Roger got became so livid he spit in the fan’s face. It was a reprehensible action but it did lead to the creation of this blockbuster record. Today, we’re not only giving you the story behind this landmark album but also delving deep into one of its greatest tracks, Run Like Hell. First written by guitarist David Gilmour for a solo album along with Comfortably Numb, but it’s since become a powerful and dangerous warning against cutting ourselves off from reality. You’re not going to want to miss the breakdown on this one. It’s all coming up… NEXT on the Professor of Rock.

They are rock’s most sophisticated philosophers: taking us into the mystical world of sound and vision. It’s time for another chapter inner many videos on Pink Floyd . Today, we’re doing a deep dive into the band’s monster masterpiece double concept album The Wall, zeroing in on the third cut on Side Four: Run Like Hell.
Since The Wall’s release on November 30, 1979, its 1980-81 tour, and 1982 movie, the Wall has all but become the definition of the term “concept album.”It’s truly a perfect album. It has also become a commercial blockbuster, certifying platinum 23 times over in America according to the RIAA. And exceeding 33 million copies sold around the world. However, those astronomical numbers are only enough to make it the second-biggest-selling Pink Floyd album of all time. Dark Side of the Moon eclipses that mark, having sold in excess of 50 million copies sold. But that’s Pink Floyd for you. This band has shaped the rock era in ways that few others have. Back at the turn of the 80s The Wall went to #1 in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Spain, Norway, Austria, and The Netherlands. It also reached #3 in the UK. And since then it had continued to reemerge on charts around the world. According to Billboard, The Wall has spent a total of 160 weeks on its Album Chart.
In past Pink Floyd episodes, we have taken an in-depth look at a few other songs from this landmark album. For instance, we’ve gone into the stories behind Another Brick in the Wall Part 2, Hey You, and Comfortably Numb. So despite the overwhelming success of Dark Side of The Moon and Wish You Were Here, Pink Floyd’s 1977 tour ‘In the Flesh’ was actually the first time they played stadiums..
