Fact #63755
When:
Short story:
Pink Floyd begin a six night stint, performing The Wall live in the UK for the first time at Earls Court, London, UK.Full article:
Rick Wright (keyboards, Pink Floyd) : Amazing. I loved the idea of the other band appearing in masks and not being us. You go to see a show. You think, ‘Oh, there’s Pink Floyd onstage. There’s Dave, there’s Rick, there’s Roger.’ Then a curtain opens and there’s another Pink Floyd behind them. I think it (The Wall) was a very good concept once (Roger) had decided to make the wall a feature of the show, rather than just a statement to the audience - ‘Fuck you! I don’t want to know about you.’
On the other hand, it wasn’t much fun to play because we were hidden half the time. While you were playing, you had lots of roadies running around, putting things up, taking things down. Very impersonal.
I liked playing live. I was quite prepared to swallow my pride and go out and play with Dave and Nick. And, strangely enough, there wasn’t any animosity on stage. I think it’s the nature of my character. I accept what’s happened and make the best of it. Maybe it’s one of my faults too. My therapist might tell you that, you know.
The good thing about playing The Wall tour was I made money and the others lost.
