Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall Live 1980-81专辑介绍
20年前PINK FLOYD发行了他们的经典概念专辑《THE WALL》。该专辑气势宏大，寓意深刻，音乐玄妙，在商业和艺术上取得了双重的成功。奇怪的是，擅长现场演出的PINK FLOYD对这部经典之作的原版现场演绎只有区区三次：两次在美国(东海岸纽约州的 Nassau Coliseum, 西海岸加州的洛杉机) 另一次在英国伦敦的 Earl's Court。今年4月18日发行的这套双张专辑正是节选自伦敦演唱会，因而显得格外珍贵。另外，在这套专辑中还收录了两首仅在THE WALL电影中出现过的作品"What Shall We Do Now?" 和"The Last Few Bricks," ，整个专辑从演绎到录音都继承了乐队一贯的高水准，因而价值不凡值得收藏。

Skillfully edited together from the handful of Wall shows Floyd performed between 1980 and 1981 (much of the recordings date from shows at Earl's Court in London), Is There Anybody out There? replicates The Wall live — which, of course, was a replication of the record, only with spectacular visuals. There are two songs not on the studio album — "What Shall We Do Now?," a tune pulled from the record at the 11th hour (early pressings still listed it on the sleeve), plus "The Last Few Bricks," which was an instrumental at the end of the first act that gave the crew time to finish building the wall — but they add nothing to the overall piece. There are no revelations at all, actually, with the possible exception of the layered harmonies on "Outside the Wall," which makes this coda seem like a full-fledged song. Since the show was so rigidly structured, there was little opportunity for the band to stretch out and jam. All of this means that Is There Anybody Out There? is The Wall by any other name, and that it isn't for anybody but Floyd fanatics. Will this disappoint the less-dedicated listener? Not necessarily, since anybody familiar with The Wall will likely enjoy it as it's playing. The question is, how often will you put the record on? After all, if you want to hear this music, you'll listen to the studio recording. That doesn't really diminish the worth of Is There Anybody out There?, but it hardly makes it necessary, either.
