03.05.2008. Mal Hymas war einer der wenigen glücklichen die Pink Floyd bei den The Wall Proben im Earls Court 1980 zusehen konnten. Mal hatte auch noch eine Videokamera dabei und filmte die Proben. Schon vor einigen Monaten hat er davon ein 10minütiges Video auf YouTube eingestellt: The Wall Rehearsal 1980 | Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Comfortably Numb
Alle Videos könnt ihr auch auf Mal´s Homepage ansehen: Mal Hymas - The Wall Rehearsal 1980. Ich nutzte die Gelegenheit um Mal Hymas ein paar Fragen zu stellen.
P&S: Fantastic Material really! There was no hope that we ever get something like that to watch! Mal Hyams: I am pleased you like it.
Why was it possible that you could watch the rehearsals? Mal Hyams: It was possible for me to video the rehearsal because I rented Earls Court for a business show which had finished and been cleared away. The tenancy I had expired at midnight, they began rehearsing around 8pm. They could have told me to stop recording, and I could have asked them to leave until midnight, when their tenancy officially began. It also helps when the Hall Manager is a personal friend, and has been for almost 30 years!
Did you see any official Cameras filming during the concert? Mal Hyams: There were no cameras as far as I know during the rehearsal, only mine. There were a few professional camera crews filming the concert itself which was obviously pre planned. I have not seen those results.
Are you a Pink Floyd fan or was it just a coincidence? Mal Hyams: I was a fan before the concert. It was a fantastic experience to see the rehearsal and then the concert the following evening. I was an even bigger fan after the show experience, and have been ever since.
Which other Pink Floyd Shows did you saw? Mal Hymas: The wall concert was the only show I have been to by Pink Floyd, a liitle after that I moved to South Africa, then on to Australia before returning to the UK in the 90's. The Pink Floyd show at Earls Court was the best concert I have ever attended. The atmosphere, the sounds and the overall experience was fantastic. Imagine, 16,000 empty seats and Pink Floyd playing just for me..... It just doesn't get any better!! |
