Pink Floyd的演唱會是搖滾史上的一絕 

華麗的布景 層層主題包裝的燈光 加上精密配置的環場音效

讓Pink Floyd的現場實況本身已經晉升到藝術的層級

(也有搞過頭而失敗的例子 如80年代的The Wall巡迴 

是在舞台上砌一道牆 而樂團把自己關在牆後面演奏的瘋狂點子 

抑或者是每場的舞台裝置花費就高達百萬美元之譜 

收入無法支撐而被迫終止巡迴的搞笑經驗)

在將近四十年的音樂生涯中 Pink Floyd發行的現場實況算是非常的少

較為人注意的是1995年兩張一套的Pulse現場實況 而為了表現出心跳的感覺

專輯的外殼上有著用小電池驅動的小紅燈

當時年輕的我 在唱片行對於專輯外殼上一閃一閃的小紅燈

感到極為好奇 這個有趣的設計 也是唱片封面史上的小經典

Learning to Fly出自於第三代的Pink Floyd  

也就是 Syd Barrett與Roger Waters離團之後靠吉他手David Gilmour撐起來的Pink Floyd

是1987年專輯 A Momentary Lapse of Reason 的第二首歌

原始的MV有著簡單的故事性 讓我直覺的想到李白行路難中的兩句詩

行路難!行路難!多歧路,今安在?

長風破浪會有時,直挂雲帆濟滄海。




看完之後 讓人對未知的未來有者挑戰的勇氣

而1995年的現場版 可以看到Pink Floyd華麗與創意的演出 其燈光的配置運用實是藝術啊

偶爾去晃晃國內的音樂祭 對於舞台燈光的配置的一成不變與音效PA的隨便 讓我總是很難過

看看十一年前的Pink Floyd 再看看國內大型演唱會的對嘴充斥與忘詞演出

似乎國內對於音樂必須要有更多專業上的尊重 才能有繼續進步的可能

Learning to Fly (Gilmour,Moore,Ezrin,Carin) 4:53

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Friction lock - set.
Mixture - rich
Propellers - fully forward
Flaps - set - 10 degrees
Engine gauges and suction - check

Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck
Flight instruments...
Altimeters - check both
(garbled word) - on
Navigation lights - on
Strobes - on
(to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure
(tower): Hello again, this is now 129.4
(to tower): 129.4. It's to go.
(tower): You may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots.
(to tower): 3-8-Echo
Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time.
Just hand the power gradually, and it...

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
