'Soundboard on the Wall' - 9th August 1980

Sound Quality: B (great except tape weirdness)
Performance: C
Overall: 3/5 Storage

This is another soundboard recording that is basically spoilt by a tape issue towards the end of the first disk and into the start of the second disk and it wasn't a great performance, pretty ordinary all round.

There is also a low tape hiss for some reason but it is not that bad and you can tune it out pretty easily. This is my second Wall show bootleg, I have plenty more to go thru both have 3/5 so far and I would still favor the one put out officially at this point.

Here is the breakdown of anything notable…

• In The Flesh?: The very start is cut off so it is jarring, not a good start
• The Thin Ice: has some performance issues but not bad on the whole.
• Another Brick p1: Nice long version, sounds like some minor tape issues though
• Another Brick p2: Some static, also gets muffled at one point but this is a good version, nice guitar and keyboard solos and the bass is great, really clear. A real nice jam by the guys
• Mother: Dave's vocal fade out but I think that was at the show rather than a recording issue, this is a nice longer version with an extended solo.
• Young Lust: A little ragged but that suits the track well. Rick's keyboard is nicely evident and the whole song has a good bluesy feel to it. Great version of the track.
• Another brick p3: Liked this version
• Goodbye Cruel World: Tape issues start like the tape gets warped or stretched.
• Hey You: Tape problems continue and Dave messes up at the start of the second verse, but not too noticeable.
• Comfortably Numb: Some unwanted feedback, not good for this song and overall an ok version.
• Run Like Hell: When the song is done Roger says 'We always like to do something for the disco fans.' That crazy English sense of humor. ;-)
