Comfortably Numb

Pages : 286
Book Description
Comfortably Numb-A History of ?The Wall?: Pink Floyd 1978-1981 is an inside look at one of the most unusual rock and roll stories of all time. The Wall is the tale of a rock star, Pink, and his battle to cope in a world filled with tragedy and hardship. Unable to deal with reality, Pink isolates himself by creating a psychological wall between himself and the world that has caused him so much pain. But even Pink cannot escape from the forces that surround him. He is forced to confront his fears and tear down his wall. The Wall is certainly one of the most intriguing rock concept pieces ever written. Conceived by Roger Waters, and released as an album in 1979 by Pink Floyd, The Wall is the best selling double album of all time. It also spawned the number 1 single, ?Another Brick in the Wall, part 2.? But The Wall became more than a best selling album. It was developed into an elaborate stage presentation which, in 1980 and 1981, thrilled audiences by combining superb musical performances by Pink Floyd with a theatrical presentation that featured giant puppets, animation, and a giant wall across the stage. Pink?s story amazed audiences who witnessed first hand the building of the wall, Pink?s isolation behind the wall, and, at the end of the show, the destruction of the wall as it crumbled before their very eyes. The Wall stage shows have become legendary, and to this day remain one of the most amazing stage spectacles ever presented by a rock band. Every aspect of The Wall is examined in this book in detail, including The Wall story, it?s recording history, the Pink Floyd album, the development of the stage show, insights into how it was staged, and a look back at every single performance of The Wall throughout the world. To compliment the text, this book is lavishly illustrated with over 400 pictures from the Wall era, including numerous rare and previously unpublished photos from the personal collections of the people who were involved in creating The Wall album and stage shows, as well as hundreds of pieces of Wall memorabilia from the Pink Floyd Archives collection. No other book has covered the inside details of rock?s conceptual masterpiece, both in story and pictures, in the way that this book does. Fans of Pink Floyd, contemporary music, and rock & roll theater will find this a truly unique and fascinating book.

Pink Floyd and Philosophy
Author: George A. Reisch
Publisher: Open Court
ISBN: 0812697456
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
With their early experiments in psychedelic rock music in the 1960s, and their epic recordings of the 1970s and '80s, Pink Floyd became one of the most influential and recognizable rock bands in history. As "The Pink Floyd Sound," the band created sound and light shows that defined psychedelia in England and inspired similar movements in the Jefferson Airplane's San Francisco and Andy Warhol's New York City. The band's subsequent recordings forged rock music's connections to orchestral music, literature, and philosophy. "Dark Side of the Moon" and "The Wall" ignored pop music's ordinary topics to focus on themes such as madness, existential despair, brutality, alienation, and socially induced psychosis. They also became some of the best-selling recordings of all time. In this collection of essays, sixteen scholars expert in various branches of philosophy set the controls for the heart of the sun to critically examine the themes, concepts, and problems—usually encountered in the pages of Heidegger, Foucault, Sartre, or Orwell—that animate and inspire Pink Floyd's music. These include the meaning of existence, the individual's place in society, the interactions of knowledge and power in education, the contradictions of art and commerce, and the blurry line—the tragic line, in the case of Floyd early member Syd Barrett (died in 2006)—between genius and madness. Having dominated pop music for nearly four decades, Pink Floyd's dynamic and controversial history additionally opens the way for these authors to explore controversies about intellectual property, the nature of authorship, and whether wholes—especially in the case of rock bands—are more than the sums of their parts.
