1. ?!? Oh wait...I'm thinking the part with the floating man and leaf during the Trial may have been used for SOYCD for some reason.
2. Was part of the WTTM film we all know used in the Wall show somewhere (though I never noticed it)? Or did they use a different film for that on some of the '77 tour?
1. Correct. This is mentioned in the movie DVD commentary.
2. If I remember my info correctly, the version of WTTM which has been shown on MTV and VH1 is a bit chopped or something. I've heard images described for the animation of WTTM that I've simply never seen no matter how many times I watch the available clips.
In the Wall movie DVD, Scarfe mentions specific shots which pop up in either Waiting For The Worms or The Trial which were apparently once part of WTTM's animation.

I did notice what looks like a sea of blood behind the judge at one point that looked like the background from the WTTM video. Also when WTTM was shown in concert it had an orblike flower expanding toward the screen, then when it opened it revealed what is the beginning of the "video version" as shown on MTV/VH1. (The video version cuts off the intro and then is out-of-sync.) You can see the intro on some VOIOs of the AMLOR tour and at the beginning of the MTV doc "Pink Floyd: Over The Wall" from 1988. I didn't notice that part during the Wall show but now I'll have to watch more carefully I'm gonna keep an eye on YouTube as well to see if the original animation for Goodbye Blue Sky ever shows up....
Something else I just noticed: Vernon's book actually mentions the fu**ing flowers film being played twice...I just thought that was some "creative" editing on Harvest's part. It plays again where the "What Shall We Do Now" animation would be.

grab it while you can. I got my copy in 3 days. The publishing /warehouse is in St. Pete FL. Since I live in Sarasota, BINGO! Had it in 3 days. Get it...a fantastic behind the scenes look at the making of the wall, with just incredible pics, and descriptions of how everything was done. Read it in 48 hours, just couldn't put it down. Some VERY unique surprises and lots of twists and turns.
Just a quick note to let you know that Dave White at Classic Rock online has named the Comfortably Numb book the #1 music book of 2006. It is great to see that there is still substantial interest in Pink Floyd within the music industry.
Thanks to everyone for their support of this project.
There are still copies of the Comfortably Numb book available for purchase (http://www.PFAPublishing.com), but work has already begun on the next one. Stay tuned.

My next book will cover the next three years of Pink Floyd history, 1981 through 1983. It will focus on The Wall movie, and The Final Cut. Seems logical to continue the story that way.
No. I don't set release dates. But everyone who has purchased a copy of the Comfortably Numb book will get the first opportunity to buy the next book when it becomes available.
Purchasing the Comfortably Numb book not only gets you the book but also puts you on our subscription list for all future publications and other goodies.

The Comfortably Numb book is a limited edition. Once sold out, it will not be reprinted.
I'm gonna keep an eye on YouTube as well to see if the original animation for Goodbye Blue Sky ever shows up....
