The Wall



Happy anniversary to Pink Floyds eleventh studio album - "The Wall"! Today it is 33 years since the album was released, and the music history would change! No one had ever heard something like that, and it is such a powerful album, the songs are fading into each other, and that is why I mean that you should listen to the entire album, not just one songe here and one song there! Enjoy it and really listen to it. You will get a surprise over how good it really is! And if YOU are one of the lucky people who have a LP player and an old, original copy of the album, sit down, listen and enjoy.



Tonight I will enjoy the album by listening/watch concert clips from Roger Waters The Wall live tour on youtube! That is how I will spend my evening, and I will spend it with the love of my life and enjoy some wine and pizza as well. So that should be a good evening.
When I was walking to the kindergarten where I do my prac, I started listening to the live album "Is there anybody out there", and when I was walking back home, I continued. I feel so happy when I am listening to the most wonderful music ever made!



I'm so glad that me and my family got tickets already for the "The Wall" show next summer! We are already owners of 6 tickets (Oslo - two days, Gothenburgh, London, Dublin and Paris) so then we will celebrate the wonderful album. If you have seen the show or the movie "The Wall", you can see what masterpiece it is. The songs are great themselves, but the history behind and the animation just makes it even better. There is a character in the 'story' called Pink. Pink is a person based on Waters and Barretts lives. Pink lost his dad in the second world war - that is based on Roger Waters childhood. Pink is also getting into a hard life of rock'n roll - and that is something that remind me about Syd Barretts life. That's just my own thought. But there are, I think, several things that may have happend to Roger or Syd. And Nick Mason as well! He did not have a good teacher in primary school. Don't know if any of the boys had bad experiences in school, but some of them had, hence "Another brick in the wall, pt.2".



I wont be writing about each and every song today, but I would just wish the album, the producers and last but not lest, the band - happy anniversary!!! I know I will love this album for ever!! So thanks to all the people who was helping making this album happend!

ROGER WATERS THE WALL LIVE 2013



Today is the day!! 
A day I will remember for a very long time. The RW TW tour show was announced today! On a friday! What a day to announce something like that!
This week I've had my first of a six week prac in kindergarten, and in my break, I watched some news on the inteernet, and there it was... Roger Waters is coming back to Norway and Europe with The Wall one last time. I feel like I can just go outside and scream out to the world how happy I am.

Before my very first The Wall concert in Oslo 2011


One thing that does suck is that I know too few people who really appreciate the music and I have too few people to show my exitement to. Lucky me, I have a mother, a father, a sister and a best friend who love the music, so I have someone to talk too! But at the moment I'm all alone in my apartment, watching In the flesh live and no one to talk to, but my friend is coming over soon, so that'll be good for me. That is a great thing about this blog! When I'm all alone and want to share some floyd stuff, I'll just write it here, pretending I am talking to people. So thanks to all my readers on a day like this!





2013... It's gonna be a great summer with, hopefully, loads of shows. There are 20 concerts, and I want to see them all, but that might be hard since I don't have a lot of money, and I'm working AND I'm a student.. But I'll do my best! Have to make a plan now, to see when I'll take my vacation, where to go and how to travel. Train is one of my favourite transportation options, so I have to check out prices and all that. Book hotels at the shows I know I'm going to see, and plan all the other ones. And then I just have to see how many I can see.
If any of you have any tips of how to travel, get tickets for a good price, etc, let me know! :)





Wishing you all a really great weekend!! 
I love the world today <3
