The Story Behind: Pink Floyd - The Wall (part 2), Ep. 251
Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Pink Floyd decamp to France to record a make or break high-concept double album as tensions within the band continue to mount. After the classic lineup breakup, they stay together as friends (just kidding) and only one person gets paid (this part's true). The boys continue their milestone celebration and talk fretless bass, emotional peaks, and unsavory dalliances with authoritarianism.Join us on Patreon to continue the conversation and get early access to the weekly show 100% ad free, plus 60+ bonus shows like Song Battle and Guilty Pleasureshttps://www.patreon.com/1001AlbumComplaintsJoin our Mailing List here: https://linktr.ee/1001albumcomplaintsEmail us your complaints (or questions / comments) at [email protected] to our episode companion playlist (compilation of the songs we referenced on this episode) here:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6s6ligjsi17evwO7C0hL85?si=6f9e903b4be642c6Listen to The Wall here:https://open.spotify.com/album/5Dbax7G8SWrP9xyzkOvy2F?si=Am_8HFWtS5GB3Gyc98w9xwAnd our international playlists continue to grow:Thai, German, Sweden 1, 2, & 3, Italian, Australian, Belgium 1 & 2Intro music: When the Walls Fell by The Beverly CrushersOutro music: After the Afterlife by MEGAFollow our Spotify Playlist of music produced directly by us.
