did rick raise his game for the wall live shows
listening to the live cd's it seems to me that rick was trying to improve on what was set down on the original recordings and maybe win his place in the band back

I think that during the live shows, he could be more free to improve his parts. He was also a bit relaxed cause he had agreed with Roger and therefore he was just playing keyboards. I think that his solos are great. I adore the one on Young Lust.
I don't know if the presence of Peter Woods helped him feel more comfortable but I'm sure he (Woods) played a major role in Rick's headway.

Maybe it's because he was out of the band and felt more liberated, but Rick was unusually vibrant on the Wall tour. It's a crime against humannity that the keys were mixed lowed than the concerts' original volume for some reason (which causes In The Flesh? to sound awful, may I point out).
Was there any reason why Rick was mixed down in ITAOT? Petty revenge? Technical errors? Someone deciding that if they were going to actually release material for once they might as well wreck it to keep fans from actually being satisfied? (It's a conspiracy. It's got to be.)

Peter Wood is my favorite keyboard player, so he did help out rick alot.
on
ABITW 2 where he has the solo Rick plays the organ
Peter Wood plays the piano
The same as in Berlin Peter Wood plays a rockin solo at the organ
And Nick Glenny-Smith plays the piano there.
Young Lust, Rick plays the organ
Peter plays synthesizers and piano.
but alot of the wall keys live where done by Peter.

I still find it incredible that Rick returned after being ousted. I think most people would have told them to go jump in a lake (to put it politely). I voted for Yay in the poll, not because I think he necessarily did raise his game but because he definitely put effort into his playing at the live shows.

Money talks - they had just lost most their money through bad investments - so Rick needed to top up the old drug fundsnifferdog wrote:I still find it incredible that Rick returned after being ousted.

Perhaps, but I find it totally ironic (and wonderfully revengeful) that Rick was the only member of the Floyd to profit from The Wall tour. Hired as a salaried "session musician," he did not have to cover the losses from the tour....there is some justice!drafsack wrote:I would have sulked alot - one minute your being sacked cause your not contributing - next thing your being hired as a session musician as they want the floyd to look like one happy unit

He lost as much as the others that time when their finances were mishandled. I know he was going through a divorce as well but surely he'd have made something back through the success of The Wall, even if he didn't write anything. He must have at least made as much as Nick? Or did his leaving the band mean he got sweet F.A.?drafsack wrote:Money talks - they had just lost most their money through bad investments - so Rick needed to top up the old drug fundsnifferdog wrote:I still find it incredible that Rick returned after being ousted.
