When I was 19 years old, right when this album came out, I had gotten home very late from a nightclub one night and found my father sitting alone in the dark in the living room. He was wearing my studio headphones and listening to "The Wall" at an ear-splitting volume, with his eyes closed. The song he was listening to was "Run Like Hell" and he seemed totally immersed in the song, to the point that he didn't even see me as I came in and went to bed. I asked him about it later and he admitted that it was the most amazing album he had ever heard. Apparently, he listened to the entire album that night. Music like this was the soundtrack of our lives. Nothing now even comes close to it.
This was the s!#* when it came out , I was in high school. Yea we never think our parents could actually like our music when we are young. I still put the music I listened to when I was young Thanks to the modern technology. Now at 56 years old I like both the classics and today's music . Music truly is a universal language .

@JT Baying When he's begging his mother to protect and asks "should I run for president" :O It's really stunning cos of course he'll face the firing line. So much more meaning now than then for sure.
@Justine Camp Exactly, the old ones, who lives still :) Seriously there are some (musician) who is a good player, but more of them only good programmers
I remember as a kid in 1979 brick in the wall hit the charts, the teachers wasn't keen but I loved it. And 43 years later I still love the album and no band in the world ever comes close to floyd
I didn’t like it when I first heard it on the radio as a teenager in the mid 90s, though I liked their other stuff, because my dad was a teacher who most of the students didn’t like (though some have told me since that he was a good teacher), and it was one thing that caused them not to like me either. Only later did I find out that it was directed at the oppressive British education system. Which as an American wouldn’t have occurred to me.
My brother gave me the cassette of this album when I was a Freshman in high school and it literally changed my life. It is no exaggeration that I listened to the cassette on repeat (remember.. the cassette players could change sides and loop haha) as I slept every night for YEARS. This album is literally a part of my heart and soul and every note will forever be ingrained in me. PF is my all time favorite band and listening to them is a spiritual experience for me.
Totally agree. Floyd is the best band ever. Saw them live 5 times; Waters live twice. I know they are in their mid 70s now. But one more tour would kick some ass!!
I have a clue this album is going to be considered like one of those symphonies written by the classical composers. If we think how the songs are connected to each other and make a unit we'll realize it compares to the best pieces done in the past.
@JAMES Barriere I like ALL Pink Floyd ever sang out... But you got my point. Their albums were created in such a way that one song links to the other and make sense as the old symphonies were done too.
exactly! From the first time I heard P.F. , I was sold! This feeling of recognizing what their songs "told" me. "someone" had put into words (and cool music :) some big emotions that I myself pondered, in my little head, without being able to quite figure out what was head and what was tail in all this. It was ... WOW! Nothing less! It was my dad who introduced me to Pink Floyd, in 1985, when I was 15 years old. with this album. And my own son, who is 30 years old today, is the 3rd generation here in our family, as a Pink Floyd fan. I have no doubt that his 2 children (aged 6 and 2) will also one day, listen enthusiastically to their music;) Ps. It is part of a good upbringing to teach your children about quality music. All the timeless and cool music that exists ... Right ? ;)
I just listened to this through a blue tooth beanie hat while hiking on a remote trail through thick woods in an ice storm. I've listened to this album hundreds of times but this time was particularly memorable. Pink Floyd is unique unto themselves. No other band is like them
My apology that I increased your "likes" from '69' to '70' but I just could not scroll passed your comment without acknowledging your positive feedback.
Wow!! They are unique I started listening to them when I was 11 as my oldest brother loved them and I remember a Christmas Day I spent the whole night watching this film and I fell in love with Pink Floyd I was smoking weed then too and a couple of years later I also took LSD and this album was awesome when I was high. I don’t do drugs now but I still love Floyd❤️.
Start playing this Pink Floyd masterpiece and before you know it 8 hours have gone by, you've heard The Wall six times and you're just awestruck. And ever thus it shall be for me.
Check out AYREON. nearly all of their albums are double LP concept albums. personal choice for first listen is either Human Equation or The Electric Castle
There are quite a few full albums that are one giant story. Such as Life of Agony: The river runs red, Queensryche: Operation Mindcrime, and ofcourse Dream Theater: Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory. Full story albums are amazing
I never get tired of listening to this album, the music is cerebral and timeless. Hundreds of years from now they will still be listening to Pink Floyd.
Easily the single greatest album ever made, period. I’ve sung my praises about it before, so all I really feel like I need to say here is just thank you. Thank you so much for uploading this masterpiece in full.
Still, after playing this as an LP back when it was released, through the CD era, and into the electronic storage era, still I'm absolutely loving it so much that words fail me. Still too, I am repeatedly playing from 1.02.15 for 50 seconds, the choral piece before "So ya, thought ya, might like to, go to the show....". I can play it ten times and still want it again. That's when you know you have fallen in love with a piece of beautiful music.
I was stationed in Germany in the AF when this album came out. We listened to it constantly. Went to Switzerland for the weekend and ended up in this little bar. The band was playing absolutely all genre's of music. Then they started playing Another brick in the Wall. Everyone went nuts. Best moment ever!!!
Hola Ricardo!!! Veo que te gusta la buena música, te recomiendo el siguiente tributo a PINK FLOYD: brvid.net/video/video-Qfv3vELky3M.html estás de acuerdo con que es el mejor tributo a esta banda??
I first heard this album as a wee lad of 11 - because "Another Brick in the Wall - part 2" was on the radio. It was only when I was a little older that I found Dark Side of the Moon in my brother's record collection and played it.... several times a day from that point forward, then bought the rest of their stuff. As I got older I kept hearing more and more depth - the anguish, loss and hope in Wish You Were Here, and in this album the untamed bitterness toward the forces that stole Roger's father away and the reactionary protectionism of his mother. As a child with a mother who lived through WWII in Europe, I understood her strictness a little better. Now, as a father, I hope that I did not put bricks in my children's "walls". It's so complex, so deep that it ages with you - it's astounding that these young men had the maturity to generate these themes and the musical chops to bring them to life in such an enduring way.
Roger Waters vocal command to voice the different characters and feelings on this album is untouchable!! No other concept album comes close....except for Dark Side of the Moon! Shine on You Crazy Diamonds!!!!
my favorite is Animals, saw the Animals tour back in 1977 in Houston, Texas, it was an outdoor concert, it rained a little bit, best concert I have ever been to and I have seen many concert throughout the yrs!!!
I've said it before, but I'll say it again:- I think this is the most significant piece of work done in the whole of the last Century. Mind-bogglingly well done, thanks to all involved.
I Agree completely! I watch the movie when I turned 18 in 86 it blew my mind! lots of jungle juice and Weed Nuff said LOL.. Beast band ever then Queen..
This song never goes old. I don't know how many times I listened to it growing up. Did you hear his new one for Ukraine ? brvid.net/video/video-saEpkcVi1d4.html
Actually it is how World War II affected many lives, afterwards. How we had to industrialize or fail as a viable economy as a nation. How some of us were bastardized to what post-World War II economics meant to peace and serenity! Pink Floyd is a legend doing this album because I don't know if my "Wall" was different from their version! 😂
This album hits close to home for me. My dad died in 1975 when I was only 8 and my mom was working two jobs for us to just get by. I remember her taking me to the record store in Philly so I could buy the album, wrapped in brown paper :-). One of my customers was taking a survey as to what album would you want to listen to if you were stranded on a deserted island. I wanted to say The Wall, but that would be too depressing for me so I took the Eagles Greatest Hits :-). Thank you for some great music. Pink Floyd will always be my favorite.
Amazing, the full album. Decades past, after experiencing the wall album, and the wall became background noise. Hearing others enjoying it, all the vocals memorized and nearly every note in the album burned permanently into my brain. Then, one day, many years later, it's as though it's the first time experiencing it all over again. Timeless, an eternal masterpiece. It's so powerful. Waters and Gilmour.
A epic masterpiece, really. A couple of songs a bit over played on the radio which is why some people may think of it as the pop album of Pink Floyd. I listened to this album when it came out back in the day, and today I still appreciate the lyrics, music, arranging and production of this album. This album has a very particular mood which is what Roger Waters brings, it's a story, a masterpiece of theater, it is perfect to me.
This is the one album I'll only play when I'm feeling good about life. There was a time when I'd listen to it when feeling depressed and it put me in a real dark place. For me The Wall is probably the only piece of music that does this to me. I'm listening to Nobody Home as I'm typing this now and shedding tears. This album is so powerful that I have to turn it off now. When I was younger I'd listen to this double album non-stop, but I can't listen from beginning to end anymore. It's too gut-wrenching emotional to me. Guess what I'm trying to say is Roger Waters and David Gilmour made a masterpiece with this one.
Hi Steven I'm listening to it right now and that's because I feel at rock bottom, one of my bad days. I actually feel better after listening to it. If I've got The Wall on, things must be pretty bad. But it's my therapy 🙏🏻 Love to you 💜
The greatest album ever made. The live show was incredible, light years ahead of what others were doing, the concept & production are equally way ahead of anything anyone else was doing. The telephone operator? all genuine! They rang the operator for real & her reaction is genuine, the use of sound effects, soundbites from films, the operatic orchestration of The Trial & Waters quite brilliant characterisations, you could just go on & on. Rock musics crowning achievement
I listen to this album everyday at work. It is a masterpiece. I’m only 21 and wish I could’ve been there for the album release. This album holds such a big place in my heart.
@Armando Mejia Takara Same here, but in the 60's through the 90's I had a blast!, I have since decided to act my age{not nearly as fun!)LOL But still love getting down with Pink Floyd! ❤️
Have ya seen the movie, lad? It's as brilliant as the album. You've given me hope that the youngest generation isn't as awful as the one before it (and the one after mine!) Thank you for appreciating it!
What an amazing album. Love it, play it over and over 40 years after first buying it. The original LP rarely played, too precious, but, it's a golden reminder of this wonderful music.
Hola Osvaldo!!! Veo que te gusta la buena música, te recomiendo el siguiente tributo a PINK FLOYD: brvid.net/video/video-Qfv3vELky3M.html estás de acuerdo con que es el mejor tributo a esta banda??
I used to ditch school and watch the movie all day over and over with a couple of buddies and this album never got warn out...it's a piece of work that I believe had a definite major impact in the rock and roll scene...no other album comes close!!! Brilliant to say the least. Waters and Gilmore are geniuses!!!
Круче Pink Floyd может быть только Pink Floyd. Группа, которой удалось покорить не только слушателя, но и время. Классика!!!! 60-70 не вернуть. Но наследие, музыкальное, они оставили на долгие десятилетия.
This album has a healing power to me since I was teenager, it has a power kick than all the drugs you all have tried, am 62 now and still enjoying pink Floyd songs, I wonder if they're still alive, their songs will live forever
@Dianne Pepin I'm 59 and my kid's know these songs well! Gotta keep the good music going through the generations because some of the music these days is nothing but garbage
Strange how the concept of "nobody home" has become a thing of the past... anyone else miss those days? The days before cell phones or even answering machines? I do...I miss the privacy...I miss the peace and quiet...great album...definitely one of the best ever recorded by any band.... *ever* 🔥
This album got me through two nervous breakdowns, losing the one person i ever loved, and much else besides.tThis music is the best friend I have ever had or will ever have. That may sound odd, but The Wall has always been there for me, no judgement, and always comforting. I can't think of better qualities of a lifelong friend.
For my fellow meloman The Lamb Lies Down On Brodway from Genesis, wich is in a more or less similar way a concept album with a "linear" story, and i just can't help but coming back at it, as it's my friend (as you said)
@Patrick Foster Jesus or Allah or Yahweh might be a solution for some, but not for me. I am happy for that you have found a faith that comforts you. I am comforted by reason, logic, and evidence. Also a beautiful stand of trees with animals going about their business brings me contentment. To put it in your terms, their is a verse in Deut. I love by. "Do not do unto others what is hateful to yourself." Be happy.
How sad. My friend I highly recommend you reach out to Jesus Christ. Not only is he our creator he actually died to save us from the final enemy: death. Forget all the religious mumbo-jumbo and simply believe that he suffered, died and rose again to give us the opportunity to escape death and put all of your faith in him. If you do so sincerely you will receive confirmation beyond your wildest dreams.
Oi Nelson, posso ver que você gosta da boa música. Recomendo a vocês a seguinte homenagem ao PINK FLOYD: brvid.net/video/video-Qfv3vELky3M.html Você concorda que é a melhor homenagem a essa banda?
This sort of musicianship is no longer in fashion with an industry that prefers pure profit over art, but the talent is out there. And fashions change.
Roger, David, vcs sempre estarão comigo! Não existe som melhor. É surreal! David, parabéns pela Ucrânia! Tinha que vir de vc! Love tou Ad eternum..... always love.....
The BEST Album for me a contemporary generation gone by and am still young at heart. I was mesmerised by this album since early 80s and convinced to do so by my late uncle Eddie. May his Soul REST IN PEACE. I love it all! Thankyou.
Gracias hermano, eres el mejor de todos, por siempre estaras en mi corazon, a traves de este aporte he alcanzado caminar en las escaleras que conducen al cielo.
I was seven when this came out. my older sister had bought the album and I'd listen from my room and decided when she split, I wasn't losing the album. I still have it today!
The album is that good that when I was in a coma if they put the earphones on me and played it could have brought me back to life quicker that is not to say that my family talking to me 24,7 saved my life and I will cherish and love them for the rest of my life. Thank you family and Floyd for being in my life for ever
Even more interesting when you find tidbits of his state of mind or things that come through on the album that reflect the era he grew up in. Like Vera Lynn was an actual artist during WW2 that was referenced. Brings so much more real ambiance to the album's meaning. So profound. So artistic.
Compré el doble LP al poco de salir y lo sigo oyendo y disfrutando a menudo, aquí en youtube. Gracias por esta gran obra maestra... y por la que le siguió, The Final Cut, Sr. Roger Waters. Maestro y Genio.
@Permanence in Change Pink Floyd existed before Waters and did afterwards as well. Division Bell was a great showpiece for David Gilmore to really lead the band. It was a band that had three distinct phases, but all were really good. Waters was brilliant, but he really used the rest of PF as a backup band for what he wanted to do with The Wall and The Final Cut. Great albums, but they would have been little different as Waters solo projects.
I was still young when I head this the first time (5 years). My father had purchased the LP and was fiddling with replacing the needle on the turn table and when he placed the boom arm on the vinyl it went scccccrrreeekkk across the whole disc scaring the hell out of me and my brother. He spent ages polishing the disc and finally got it to work. This was my father's first Pink Floyd album ever though he had heard other songs on the radio. He still has the LP but since then I have purchased all Pink Floyd albums on CDs to which I still listen to after all these years
This Album is Music You Have To Consider True Art. It is timeless, even though it's clearly apart of it's time. Thank-You For putting this on here ad free, so people can Experience the timing and Sounds working perfectly throughout.
So this album means a lot to me… my mom died in 78 when I was 8 so I used to spend Saturdays with her mom (my grams) she was a complete hoot, a beer drinking gin soaked queen who out lived all the other grandparents (go figure) but she was so cool. Anyway on Saturdays we’d make the rounds, the grocery store, the butcher market, obviously the liquor store (lol) and we’d get a McDonalds happy meal or whatever, and on this particular Saturday (when the Wall was released) I said Gram, I want the Wall. And she took me to straight the record store and we bought The Wall. Crazy shit because that album became a classic just like my grams did. She eventually passed in 99, flew back from Cali that year to attend her funeral and afterwords I said “ok grams now you’re gonna have to look out for me now” Well later that evening I got in a freak accident, severed a major artery in my leg, after a painting of Ringo Star fell on me, and almost bled out. I know it sounds crazy but this is all true! All I could think was that grams got the wrong message lol…. Take care of me, not take me with you lol…. Anyway I survived… was able to keep my leg and when I listen to this album I think of my grams who bought it for me the week it was released. I still also love Animals tho… just saying… and u gotta love WYWH Shine on… cuz that’s just an entire story in itself…
@Carl Neoh feelings is something that kids understand more than us sometimes, it's good for them hear this kinda "abstract" music whit this deep lyrics At least thats what i think, My son always hear pink Floyd xd
I remember when this came out - I was about 12 and my older sister had just bought it - We had the LP on my Dad's AKAI stereo system. when it started with the subtle opening then BOOM!!!, "So ya, thought ya might like to go to the show!" we were STUNNED" We listened to the whole thing all the way thru like it was a movie! I've since listened to it about 1000 more times, at least. Never been another experience like it since. No album has ever had that kind of impact on me!
I know it l will change your life And live it will definitely change your life Take it from a old dude it will Pink floyd/ Roger waters Run on you crazy Dimond
Wow this was from my child hood. I grew up with lots of classic rock and had forgotten when this actually came out. It was a very powerful LP to a kid 13 gettin hi for the 1st time. That I promise you. Hell I get flash backs listen to this or is it just the music....

Esse álbum é daqueles que a gente ouve naqueles aparelhos sistem da Gradiente com a luz da sala apagada e só os leds do aparelho iluminando o ambiente,e com o som no ultimo.E uma viagem.
My journey with Pink Floyd started 32 years ago with this album (I was 5 and I still remember that the Principal figure hung from the balcony in music video scared the crap out of me). And yet after all these years of listening to PF studio albums and countless bootlegs I get the same goosebumps I got when I listened to The Wall and every other album for the first time. BTW Comfortably Numb solo was the reason I picked up a guitar in the first place.
This Album is what made me want to learn to play electric guitar at the ripe age of 47. It's been two years since then and I can now play a few guitar solos along with the songs, like the end if Another Brick in The Wall, Mother, Comfortably Numb and others. Greatest rock band and music of all times.
As I sat on a park bench listening with a total daydream state, I could feel the emotion of the notes playing through the headphones of my Walkman. It was 1984 by the time I was able to listen to the album. By 1986, I was sat in room full of my mates, listening to the album while smoking my first joint. It whooshed me back to 1984 on that park bench. And I was well chilled to the sound of "look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky" and the feeling of peace and joy. I Iisten to the album when the mood is unsettled, have a joint and feel that same feeling. The remastered version of this album does not do the original justice. Darkside of the moon is another I'll quite happily mellow to. With the life I've had, it helps me to cope with the trauma of personal wounds and scars. The answer to the question for mother: no you shouldn't trust the government.
80г, мы плывем на Валаам, попиваем винцо и слушаем Стену. Штормит. И следующую ночь обратно, а утром в терем на учебу. А в голове Стена и плевать на металоведение.
Essa obra prima me leva a lembranças e uma viagem no íntimo da minha alma e me traz uma nostalgia, e uma incrível sensação de leveza e paz de espírito!
Estive na Apoteose Río. Roger Watters e uns whisky's. Alto nível musical, mudando o patamar que dividiu o Rock. Há décadas ouço e cd dia mais atual. Salve!!!
This is and will remain one of the most important recorded music ever in all of the recording industry the universal message contained in this art by Pink Floyd is a legend and will be for a long Time and has already touched the hearts and minds of many generations already with future ones to come I listen to it and taken to a very serious place In life like a New York State of mind dose I’m so great full to have been exposed to this at a very young age by my mother I know how much this songs means to so many all over this entire world including Palestinians,
