Episode 99 - Pink Floyd Part 21, The Wall Motion Picture
Episode 99 – Pink Floyd Part 21, The Wall, The Motion Picture
The group completes our exhaustive(?) segment on Pink Floy by consider the motion picture version of The Wall. This version of The Wall provides yet another perspective on Roger Waters’ grand work. Powerful images combined with the (mostly) well-known music are able to forcibly convey the story in a unique manner. The group is left impressed by the strong execution of a project that seemed to be working uphill Farewell Pink Floyd!

Episode 98 - Pink Floyd Part 20, The Wall Live Performances
Episode 98 – Pink Floyd Part 20, The Wall, The Live Shows
Seeking to expand our segment on Pink Floyd a bit, the group considers the live performances of The Wall including the 1980 tour, the 1990 performance in Berlin and the 2010 Roger Waters production. Each of these productions has its own character and charm. We consider the various interpretations of the songs, the impacts of the cultural context and musicians as well as the stage and light design. We come away with a better understanding of how each of these performances enhance the legacy of this epic piece of work.

Episode 97 - Pink Floyd Part 19, The Endless River
Episode 97 – Pink Floyd Part 19, The Endless River
Is The Endless River a critical completion of the Pink Floyd tale, a heartless and ill-considered money grab, a self-indulgent exercise in noodling or a heart-warming ode to a lost bandmate? Some could argue that it is all of these. The Palaver attempts to consider this most confounding album from as many angles as possible. The final analysis?
