The WAll live is a bit better in my mind, on the studio they use too much of what seem like electronic harmony vocals like in the song "the show must go on" and CN is a lot better live.

P.S. The best version of CN is with the 9 minute guitar solo on DSOT

I think pretty much every floyd album ever released is better live and while the same is true of the wall its probabley the smallest improvement of any of them which is why I thought it was such a pointless release.

Yep, Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall Live - Pink Floyd - 1980-81 was released c. April 2000 on EMI. It's a two-disc compilation of live performances from the Wall shows in 1980 and 1981. It's still available! :)
Yes, it is still available. If you can't find it in Sam Goody or Best Buys, try CDnow on line. :D

I can't state exactly which version I like the most. I find Is There Anybody Out There? great for my 5.1 system, but I practice my guitar on the studio version.

I downloaded Wall Show live in Nassau Colisseum. it has a bad quality but I like it. Especially Empty Spaces. um, Rogers ego shines brightly. :lol:
I like live version but the crowd is way too loud. Its really fantastic to watch how they build the wall on stage. 8)

What Shall We Do Now so should have been put on the album, if the live version is anything to go by it would have been a nice inclusion.

That's how it has to be
David and Roger singing together, it's just amazing.
