Back in 1979 I came home in great excitement - in my hand was a double album The Wall ("Wall"), Pink Floyd, perhaps the most anticipated album of the time for music lovers in the world, and for the Soviet Union many. Young people are waiting for this album was no exception under first record (released and then the music only on vinyl LPs LP - Long Play), this double album., slowly insert the disc on the turntable and putting pancake into the groove zvukosnimatelnuyu head .. was I at first sounds and words, it was incredible, it was such an unprecedented level is the level, so I felt I was on the other side of the wall, and they, musicians, writers - on the other page. On the other side of the wall tremendous professionalism. Yes, at that time, actually in the Soviet Union, many artists felt themselves on the other side of the wall ... sound, concept, panoramic dissemination balance ... it was out of reach. And more than tempting ... I bit into English, or rather, I have learned, is learned on the 'Wall' English. I have more than a simple translation, and I was looking for other values of the known texts in the dictionaries on search of meanings inherent in these profound words of the greatest compositions of The Wall. depth of thought texts called, forced to move through the wall. Overcome "Another Brick in the Wall" knowledge. same time overcoming the "stones" understanding of music, sound and even fateful this work. I will tell you that these "stones" were placed "wall" a lot in my life. I am grateful to the very early years of his life in the "Cruise", which are at the time in the early and mid 80s, an incredible rock show brings in two trucks dvadtsatitonnyh stage equipment, lighting and sound which should have been installed 40 people from the team of stage, always rode with us. And I can safely say that the show at this time that we were at the highest level, and stage sets and special effects with many of the world's achievements can be compared in this area. We carried them to the people, his audience, while receiving 7 rubles 50 kopecks from the show and do not be sad about it much, because the spirit was, as one. Presentation more interesting for the viewer And this is an invisible thread of "The Wall" stretched. I am grateful that one of the first world-views that I saw was simply "The Wall", and that was in 1988. Then I saw this production improves four times in various European cities, and show always improved and although that is no place seemed better. I would also point out that I always see in the hall at least half of the audience - the youth. But since my first visit in the "Walls" and the last was 23 years, and those who were not yet born at the last concert, as I lay on the floor. And that means that the "wall" is a product of the latest and Generation Y, the current generation, which shows only the highest bar of the present socio-cultural component of this product. I am thankful that fall to all this and more, because I once plank, plank height of the wall has been shown below which it is not necessary, and all that you do to from this level, the quality of each brick the wall to overcome when you know. And, perhaps as a reward for what I another brick, the necessary perhaps, but certainly not the last, where - familiarity with the main man of music and sound in "The Wall" by Bob Ezrin (Bob Ezrin), here is the link. But continue our idea with which we started, go back to the days of the early 80s of the last century. Yes, back in the "ball", how many names among its existence (I must say that I never had to sit here, and a small part dissidentschiny because hardly anyone likes my home as I love her, I) all already " on the other side. " Because they believed that beckons there in the Wild West, everything is so wonderful and beautiful, and took this album and the lyrics "Walls" as something of their own, intimate, and every time at the end of devyanostominutnogo works, destroyed the same wall think this Scoop wall is a wall. Along with the music destroyed, along with all like-minded people, along with the trend BAAAAHH ............ dorazrushalis ... Plunged headlong into the hole ... and did not realize that once. on the other side, only this time from the other side Appeared in "this West", this "capitalism", the musicians and we have not learned how to play, have not learned to think. Apart from cheap copies, imitations of the originals-western, but still, "... the void as the basis" with a short break, a restaurant with some obscure traditions psevdoglubokimi words about We were on the other side of the wall again. On the other side of the culture, and again by the Liberty. After all, what is now Wall is to deal again with the audience (and it already works as an artifact, regardless of their founder Roger Waters (Roger Waters), a much more pressing social. Much larger societal challenge wall is already a system of capitalism, which we tried, like on the other side recently. And then he came running headlong into their capitalism once thought, on the one side of the wall with the band "Pink Floyd" with Roger Waters, it became clear that we. Again on opposite sides And the wall between us and the bigger and fatter times. How so? What's this? Finally, we tried ... we are all a-go-go, what hardworking ... smart and above all ... and more important than talent ... can ... brave ... brilliant ... yes, yes, we are brave ... remember, in the '80s, as we could ... no, in the sixties ... we could gather in the kitchen to get gitarochku and come at about the Boulevard Ring Song ... no ... even better ... the fire in the hike (it's in your ear ... shhh) Well over Sonnewald song ... that is what we are brave ... I our position on the social-go-go ... and how ... and as de so ... as again rraz - and on the other side ... deceived us ... obmaaaanuuuuliiii ... damn capitalists ... they are for everything .... everything .... all the blame ... But for some reason, Roger Waters concert fault in the wall of his writing style decorations f brand Coca-Cola, red letters "Capitalism. k ». We have, I can not imagine that the title concerto was written "to and fro your system" shows directly to the center of the system, the location of the cultural assault. And you can imagine, the brave people who have in the video that accompanies the show bombed, a nation that humanity aircraft fall on people's heads brands Gazprom, Sberbank, AvtoVAZ marked ... But Roger has. Shell with characters, dollar, Mersedes And imagine the font on the screen during the song that asks: Do you think that the government - the appearance of the inscription: "No, damn it" (translated No Fucking Way). I am not referring to any Shantrapa, punks and friends, and a popular and successful artists in our country ... Well, or at least some significant creative, even early in his career. No, unfortunately. Only podobostrastnichat! Criticized for the eyes, watering clicked as or fall behind the scenes, and called once psevdoartisticheskoe our community to a "trough" as fast and in a hurry to race to sing hosannas of praise and honey speech powers and rich. Afraid of the "bowl" excommunicated, and even more afraid of the "box" excommunicated by the media. Since only because in the ether, and they keep. And released (separated) from the ether, and blow. As rubber products, which is inflated with air, or rather ether. (I would like examples of how artists give, go forward, no matter what, no matter what the ideology and systems machinations - is the first part of the fourth read autobiographical material one of the top industry leaders of the time, my translation -. AL) . Can you think of some of our "art fraternity," as an advocate for the people? Puppet not fighters, not the system, not a grumpy guitars nemytovolosyh psevdorokerov sixties and the nineties created, and I do not know hip-hop reference simulacra of our time. A - personality, able to declare openly and with authority, both creative and above all moral and ethical. Can you? Frankly, I do not even try. Bring any examples, not to tempt yourself and do not be ignorant. There is no such. No! Neither Creative or personal .... Since there is no such a lack of personal culture. As compelling as the wall between those who were not named, and the culture. Society does not encourage. So do not name names, no excuses. To back to the concert. The hall was full, the tickets were sold long ago, and even speculators resold. But as always, for more than 30 years of the existence of this show. Moscow organizers worked hard, but also very worthy, it was a win-win situation. Although the price, Roger Waters asks for his show, not low. But! But I ask here given that this price includes the very first show, and it was 21 big trucks with 112 tons of equipment, lighting and sound, set design and special effects artist who carries himself in England: 82 exposed svetofermy spotlight, 23 hospital, 30 kilometers Cable, 10, and 172 optical stabilizers professional speakers. To the stage, to establish on the wall length of 72 meters and a height of about 15 meters, as well as means to install and configure all the devices brought hundreds of people staged need a part that brings artists also. Within this amount even artist fee is low. Private fee Waters are compared with a content Leps or a group of "Viagra" or Vaenga can charge much Stas Mikhailov it is certainly no longer. What do I do? And the fact that the model is different. The wall between the model and the model of the Waters of our "how-to artists" enormous and I declare now what. Collect revenue in Moscow, the Moscow and has visitors who had come specially for this concert from other Russian cities, Waters himself in the pocket no more than 5% of the collection. The rest will go to pay for the show, at the cost of decorations, effects, staging, that's what this show unforgettable. Now we want our sheep back. For example, take any Russian vystuplentsa. Each arrival in every Russian city, only pumping money out of the pockets of the local people, giving them in return is not a great show, not a creative act of contemplation and the questionable lyrics with a guitar or a soundtrack for dancing. That's all. And yet, my friends. And what do you do? What she wanted and got it. After all, it is you pay. A vystuplenets, you will receive your denyushki, puts them all in his pocket. Not 5%, and the whole thing. Well, it's less transportation costs, room rental and the payment of the local organizers on the ground, preparing for the concerts in three to six months. And he vystuplenets, rrraz, the city came for chasochek sbryatsal guitars, good, best, made a variety show with glitter and feathers. People face looked out of the box, heard the song, as if unrequited love and how to be happy. Figley cultivated since. And it has not told me not to write something suprotiv: immediately zavereschit voice of the people, they say it is, it's our Russian, native, incorruptible. Zavereschit this vokspopuli some really know neither tradition nor ancestors and, alas, they do not know the culture, and even without understanding what it is and why it is. Here and there are two lonely concert. Only the first, the loneliness of the city was left the next morning with a hundred thousand dollars, and the second, "cultured" alone in its place, betoniruya neokulturnye neotraditsii in his home town, singing his younger generation, their little children very cultured words "Even I was a smoker, I smoke again, my mother again ..." The words that have not, unfortunately, to and from the brain child shower that can delete. And I think that, when grown, why is all something that we have not. And who is to blame and what to do. And the answer is always poking your finger up, instead of learning how to point a finger at his chest. Finally, it was so close though. And most importantly - is true. Why this is so, why not see the towns and villages of the country as a show? And I'm not vain mentioned on the "Cruise" and its elegant setting. Therefore, they could. And now, but could ... But our audience chooses. This is what he supports. Vystuplentsev whom voted for her purse. This is you, the reader, support, at a concert of the music of some adventurers go with a guitar at the ready, or by buying a CD with another stupidity. They make a wall between himself and his soul. It is a wall of bricks your tears, formed from the desire for culture. And while he and Roger Waters, no matter how he as an artist at the height, and no matter how it looks Cultural Tribune was as bold personality - he on the other side of the wall. He is on the right, when all of its royalties and fees to the goals that send sings. Often between the author and the person is more than the wall, when it was built in the "Olympic" ... Breaking the wall, Roger! Alexander Shulgin, to "show business news NEWSmusic.ru» Photo - rogerwaterstours.com
