Exactly what was Pink Floyd's The Wall? Rock opera? Concept album? Performance art? Mere entertainment? While the truth may lie in a combination of all of the above, during the band's tour of 1980-81, The Wall was a bona fide spectacle. More than anything, Is There Anybody Out There? captures the volume, the bombast, and the grandeur of these famed performances with remarkable accuracy. Meticulously recorded, these concerts are astonishingly faithful to the band's studio versions and flow out of the speakers with practiced authority and absolutely fantastic sound. That said, there are few new revelations to be gained from hearing The Wall live that can't be gleaned from the studio version. Some moments do have an additional spark, however. "Run Like Hell" is launched with blistering intensity, and the first notes of "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1" will surely raise a shiver. The release also includes two tracks ("What Shall We Do Now," "The Last Few Bricks") left off the original release due to space constraints. Essential for Floyd fanatics as well as those wishing to hear just how terrific a live concert can sound. --S. Duda

4 out of 5 stars Better than the studio version.......2007-05-25

I got this as a gift from a friend and was first impressed with the very nice package of great photos and artwork. Honestly, it sat around for a while before I listened to it because I was never really that excited about The Wall as an album. Finally I listened from beginning to end and was pleasently surprised. I think this version is much better than the original studio release as it has a more cohesive feel to it and is not nearly as disjointed. The audio quality is fantastic too. The studio version was recorded in four different studios if I remember correctly, and you can tell. Here, the band is performing to visual presentations onstage so everything must stay together, and of course, there is always something magical about a live performance that you can't reproduce in the studio. All of the earlier PF live stuff is great though, like Cruel But Fair for example.

This is a must have for the hard core Floyd fan! Don't buy the cheesy two disc set, get the box set, it is a far better presentation.

5 out of 5 stars Buy it now!.......2007-05-07

My boss at work recently lent this to me- at first I thought I would burn myself a copy- but the minute I put it in my player I knew I just had to buy it! Like every other Floyd experience, this is magical too.

Thank you Steve :)

5 out of 5 stars Where's the legimite DVD?.......2007-04-26

5 stars for the audio CD...

But, more than a review I would like to ask if the "Is there Anybody Out there?/The Wall Pink Floyd" has been released on DVD as well?.

I have seen some DVDs on sale under the name of "The Wall at the Earls Court" but according to some reviews there...that DVD is a pirate DVD, nothing to do with this Audio CD.

Is There Anybody Out There...to help me?

1 out of 5 stars Careful what you get!.......2007-01-25

The music is great, the bad rating is for Amazon. Although I've ordered the limited edtion, I received the "simple" editon. Of course, I got my money my money back (thanks for that) but I still wanted the limited edition. When I contacted Amazon, they've told me there is no way to ensure that I'll get the right edition and that it seems there is a problem with this product.

5 out of 5 stars A piece of history.......2006-12-28

I never liked the studio version of 'The Wall'. All in all, I believe Roger Waters lost his mind and slipped into complete megalomania while they recorded their epic double album of despair. Of course, the wall has a group of outstanding songs that should have made up a single album. As a double album/cd somewhere along the way the music starts taking the listener down a one-way path to places that aren't very interesting at all.

That said I still have to give this live edition 5 stars. Why? It's a bloody good show. If you can get beyond the whining of Waters and concentrate on what he and the band accomplished theatrically then I believe you will find this a considerably enjoyable experience.

Plus, it's really cool to go back in time and hear Comfortably Numb played live for one of the first times ever. That's amazing in itself.

Album Details

There was a Time When British Steel was the Hottest, Hardest, and Most Awesome Substance on the Planet. On Judas Priest "Concert Classics", Here it Is, in Its Most Appropriate Circumstances: Live, on Stage. Judas Priest Re-invented Heavy Metal. The First Band to Use the Twin-guitar Attack, They Built on the Foundation Black Sabbath Had Laid and Moved Metal to a New Level. Looking Back on the Body of the Work that the Classic Priest Line-up of Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, K.k. Downing, Ian Hill and Dave Holland Has Left Us, Nobody is in Any Doubt that the "British Steel" Album was the Finest Studio Work the Band Produced. There Are also Those People who Will Tell You that British Steel was the Finest British Studio Album Ever Made.this Album is Taken from the Tour that Supported the Release of "British Steel" and it Takes the Majesty of that Album Into Its True Context: In Front of a Paying Audience.

4 out of 5 stars Would be 5 stars if it wasn't for the shakey beginning.......2007-07-31

Just like the previous reviewer said, this is most definitely probably recorded from the sound board. You can tell because there are some definite shocking boosts in the recording that probably clipped, so at first this is a hard listen. However, with that said and done it is a good concert. Great set list and great performance all around, especially on "Genocide"; however, as I said before the sound quality isn't the best. The first third of the CD makes you unfortunately cringe at times because of the jumps in audio, especially in Halford's voice. But, once you get past track 3-5, it's all good. I think they got the kinks worked out. However, with that said and done, I think the problems could've while not perfected, fixed a bit. They could've lowered certain parts of it and made it a bit cleaner. They probably just took the recording off the sound board, digitalized it and made it into a CD.

However, with all the sound problems at hand, I do recommend this CD. This was Priest at their most popular stage and the set list and performance is amazing. It's very worthy but just be weary of the sound issues. This probably is something for die-hard fans only due to the issues with sound. But, if you are a Priest nut like me, I highly recommend it, just have your finger on the volume control during the first third.

3 out of 5 stars Priest's 1st visit to Denver USA.......2007-07-02

Not a bad recording considering it sounds like it was made directly from the sound board. New drummer Dave Holland sounds boring compared to the excellent drumming heard on "Unleashed in the east". The set list is pretty good and the sound level has some unexpected spikes. Rob Halford's voice is in good shape for most of the songs. Diehard fanatics should like this release that comes with a written history of the band including comments about post-Halford affairs. Rock out out if you can find this one anywhere!

3 out of 5 stars Bootleg Dream.......2007-05-14

This is pretty good stuff! All Tangerine Dream fans who love electronica, this is the album for you. The recording is right before TD started to get into heavy sampling and computer generated sounds that dominated the albums from the mid-80's onward. This is a bootleg recording like the "sets" collection vol 1 & vol 2. The quality is very good and it is enjoyable to listen to. This is a good addition to any TD collection.

4 out of 5 stars Intensely psychadelic performance........2007-05-01

With less annoying crowd chatter than other Bootmon releases of their concerts this lets you enjoy the music for what it is...raw mindaltering electronic nirvanna.Not as slick and polished as modern day Tangerine Dream and sure the technology is a little bit dated but the performance has a palpable sustained almost feverish intensity that can never be recreated by anyone else(not even Tangerine Dream themselves).A literal blast from the past and a great collector's item.

Amazon.com essential recording

A 45-minute trip to bluegrass heaven, these 17 songs combine the talents of two unparalleled musical forces: Bill Monroe, the inventor of bluegrass, master of the mandolin, and owner of a bone-chilling, mountain tenor voice; and Doc Watson, the flatpicking genius with a soulful, mellow vocal tone. Much of the material stems from the legendary Monroe Brothers recordings. Their sublime harmonies carry plaintive ballads including "What Would You Give in Exchange for Your Soul" and "Banks of the Ohio," and uptempo numbers such as "You Won't Be Satisfied That Way." The roaring fiddle tunes are simply mind-blowing: "Soldier's Joy," "East Tennessee Blues," and "Fire on the Mountain" all rank as virtuosic masterpieces. If it's possible, the pairing exceeds all expectations. --Marc Greilsamer

Album Description

The essential genius of Bill Monroe and Doc Watson resides in their ability to infuse traditional American music with their distinctive musical personalities. Their unparalleled vocal and instrumental skills complement one another on these rare, previously unreleased duets. "...chronicles the early meetings of two instrumental geniuses. -- Billboard

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars You've already lived too long without this album.......2002-07-03

Buy this one. This is one of my 5 favorite albums of all time. The harmonies just kill me, and the instrumentals are enough to drive me mad.

No mandolinist would ever say that he's better than Monroe, and no flatpick guitarist would ever say that he's better than Doc. These are the two originals...the two masters...and it's just the two of them through the whole thing.

Do a favor to yourself and the country...buy this album, and let everyone you know have a listen.

5 out of 5 stars Doc and Bill pickin' a few licks!.......2001-12-12

Great album. Traditional fiddle tunes/hoedowns and early bluegrass tunes (most of them written by Monroe) played in an intimate relaxed setting. Some of Monroe's best Mandolin picking. Doc is exceptional as always.

Great album for musicians. With only two instruments playing, you can really hear what they're doing. Singing combination is very interesting as well: Bill's famous high tenor and Doc's deep, melodious voice.

This is a great album by two masters of traditional music.

5 out of 5 stars Like a hoe-down on Heaven's back porch ..........2001-11-30

Monroe and Watson are, of course, masters of their considerably crowded domain, and this recording shows why. Just a couple of amazing musicians having some fun together -- relaxed and loose but with plenty of sparks a-flyin'. The fingers are picking fast and furious. The vocals are superb, and some of the instrumental runs are simply breathtaking. Recording quality is more than acceptable.

The whole thing plays like a jam session at the country barbecue of your dreams. But it today and watch it get stuck in your CD player for days on end.

5 out of 5 stars Truly Great.......2000-11-01

This is a tremendous album by two of the legends of bluegrass music. If you like bluegrass (or just great music for that matter), you'll be blown away by these live, relatively loose jam sessions where their virtuosity and vocal skill is incredibly apparent. A must...

5 out of 5 stars First rate from 2 masters!.......2000-06-13

This CD makes you wish that Doc & Big Mon had done so much more together. Several of the cuts are songs that the Monroe Brothers did and are just fabulous. If you like Doc and Monroe individually, you'll love them together.

    3 out of 5 stars Unique Approach To A Live Album Will Appeal To True Fans.......2002-11-20

    "Live 1980-1986" is assembled like 4 separate live E.P.s rather than a traditional live album. Each of the two discs presents two different tours, so four are represented in total. Each tour gets 5 or 6 songs. The bands are different for each tour so it's easy to trace the evolution in Jackson's approach to music making. Casual fans may be put off by the fact that the versions of his two biggest hits are all quite different from their original studio incarnations. He gives three different takes on "Is She Really Going Out With Him", and frankly, none of the three appeal to me nearly as much as the original. On his other big hit, "Steppin' Out", he slows the song down dramatically, and the result is hypnotic - it's my second favorite cut on the album. My favorite is "Fools In Love", which is played at a slow tempo similar to the original, but is fleshed out and stretched out to over 7 minutes. Most of the other tracks stick closer to their original arrangements, but with some interesting variations, such as the punchy horns added to "Sunday Papers". I think this collection is a great souvenir for the true believers, but I think those with only a casual interest in Jackson's music will find it unessential.

    4 out of 5 stars He makes the old stuff sound new.......2000-12-24

    With this 2-disc set Jackson has taken many of his old classics and lesser-known tunes and given them new arrangements. He might "jazz up" and rock tune, speed up a slow song, or at least make the orchestrations more lush and "big" sounding. Some highlights are a version of "You Can't Get What You Want (Til You Know What You Want)" that is peppier than the original, a bouncy horn section added to "Sunday Papers", and a general spirit of fun that comes across best with live peformance, no matter what song. He has one of the tightest touring bands you'll ever hear, perfectly at home playing big-band jazz, rock, ballads, or a blend of all three. Just because Jackson stopped charting singles in the early 1980's doesn't mean that he should be forgotten by us. It's a fun record to listen to, and with around 90 minutes of material there's plenty to please just about anyone.

    5 out of 5 stars Which Joe Jackson do you like?.......2000-10-29

    One of the best rock musicians, and one of the most underestimated. Jackson can do any music style he wants, and do it good. Listen to the 3 versions of "Is she really going out with him" - there's a good demonstration to that. This dbl. CD album takes us to his best years, 1980-86, from the beginning in England to the breakthrough in America. From his days of punk rock to the acoustic-jazz oriented music. This album is better than "Summer in the city" (although Summer is a-5 star album too), and much more richer, and I wish I could have more of JJ live, cause the man doesn't stop to surprise me. Anyway, this is the time to mention 2 more great albums of his, besides the well known "Night and Day" and "Look sharp!": try "Big world" and the soundtrack of "Tucker" (don't try the soundtrack of "Mike's murder" that sounds like the weakest side of "Night and Day"). If you are bored by the uninspired musicians today, try JJ. You won't be sorry.

    5 out of 5 stars A blast from the Past.......2007-02-17

    OK --I'm a little biased, as I must have seen the Slickee Boys 20 times back in the heyday of 80's Georgetown/DC Clubs --- I was a DJ at U of MD and I always caught the band when they were in town. The sound quality is lacking, but it does provide the aura of being in a smoke-filled club back when live music did not have choreography or backdrops....just great 60's DIY Garage Rock --

    I highly recommend this one.

    3 out of 5 stars Unique Approach To A Live Album Will Appeal To True Fans.......2002-11-20

    "Live 1980-1986" is assembled like 4 separate live E.P.s rather than a traditional live album. Each of the two discs presents two different tours, so four are represented in total. Each tour gets 5 or 6 songs. The bands are different for each tour so it's easy to trace the evolution in Jackson's approach to music making. Casual fans may be put off by the fact that the versions of his two biggest hits are all quite different from their original studio incarnations. He gives three different takes on "Is She Really Going Out With Him", and frankly, none of the three appeal to me nearly as much as the original. On his other big hit, "Steppin' Out", he slows the song down dramatically, and the result is hypnotic - it's my second favorite cut on the album. My favorite is "Fools In Love", which is played at a slow tempo similar to the original, but is fleshed out and stretched out to over 7 minutes. Most of the other tracks stick closer to their original arrangements, but with some interesting variations, such as the punchy horns added to "Sunday Papers". I think this collection is a great souvenir for the true believers, but I think those with only a casual interest in Jackson's music will find it unessential.

    4 out of 5 stars He makes the old stuff sound new.......2000-12-24

    With this 2-disc set Jackson has taken many of his old classics and lesser-known tunes and given them new arrangements. He might "jazz up" and rock tune, speed up a slow song, or at least make the orchestrations more lush and "big" sounding. Some highlights are a version of "You Can't Get What You Want (Til You Know What You Want)" that is peppier than the original, a bouncy horn section added to "Sunday Papers", and a general spirit of fun that comes across best with live peformance, no matter what song. He has one of the tightest touring bands you'll ever hear, perfectly at home playing big-band jazz, rock, ballads, or a blend of all three. Just because Jackson stopped charting singles in the early 1980's doesn't mean that he should be forgotten by us. It's a fun record to listen to, and with around 90 minutes of material there's plenty to please just about anyone.

    5 out of 5 stars Which Joe Jackson do you like?.......2000-10-29

    One of the best rock musicians, and one of the most underestimated. Jackson can do any music style he wants, and do it good. Listen to the 3 versions of "Is she really going out with him" - there's a good demonstration to that. This dbl. CD album takes us to his best years, 1980-86, from the beginning in England to the breakthrough in America. From his days of punk rock to the acoustic-jazz oriented music.

    Album Description

    Brilliantly captures the exhilaration of Seeger's concert experience. With extraordinary talent, Seeger addresses salient social issues--his trademark for over 50 years--in song: If I Had a Hammer, Greensleeves, and We Shall Not be Moved. The complete concert of 41 songs was recorded live in Sanders Theatre at Harvard University and illuminates the skill of a master performer and the dedication of an enduring political activist. "...a reminder of the virtues and aesthetics that make [folk music] such an enduring medium." -- Dirty Linen

    5 out of 5 stars The Best.......1998-09-07

    Pete is a gift to us, one that will be certainly lost when he is gone. I got to see Pete and Arlo in concert and it was the best concert I've been to (including rock/pop stuff). This album is consumate Pete because he gets the crowd singing like a choir. There is no finer Seeger album than this. Pete's autographed picture hangs in my office and it is a treasure as is he.
