Progressive Palaver

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.

Powerful images combined with the (mostly) well-known music are able to forcibly convey the story in a unique manner.

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 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? We think it’s actually pretty good yet leaves us wondering what might have been...

Episode 96 – Pink Floyd Part 18, The Division Bell The Palaver always surprises me. I thought this episode on The Division Bell would be a slam dunk of David Gilmour love. Not so fast friends. This album was not praised by acclimation and some interesting discussions occur around songs, topics and content. Still a lively and engaging discussion of this overall enjoyable album.

Episode 95 – Pink Floyd Part 17, A Momentary Lapse of Reason The Palaver turns a corner in the Pink Floyd catalog with A Momentary Lapse of Reason. With David Gilmour assuming control of the brand, the return of Richard Wright and, with the help of Bob Ezrin, embracing the technology of the 1980’s AMLOR represents a return to the form to the earlier, collaborative form of the band. Is it a dated snapshot or a timeless masterpiece? The answer lies somewhere in between but the overall positivity of this record is undeniable.
