Back then it was almost out of the blue that I went. So out of the blue, that I didn't have my recorder with me (DOES ANYONE HAVE A BOOTLEG OF THAT SHOW? PLEASE SHARE!) I had a friend who said he had tickets and could pick me up. I knew where to get tickets and where the arena was, but I didn't care, as all was sorted out it seemed. A few weeks prior to the gig he phoned up and said he couldn't make it. Bummer, but so is life. Then, on the day of the gig I thought of what I could have been experiencing tht day. Anyway, I looked if tickets were still available - they were!! So me, working on my Bachelor's Degree at University, I kept thinking about what to do, until it was too late to catch the last direct train from Vienna to Budapest. I thought 'Heck, I'm leaving now all the same', hoping to get advance tickets from the local bank for some party that very evening at home. So I took my bag with me, leaving for the station. But when I got there, I found out that the last direct train to Budapest, which should have left 15 minutes ago, was 20 minutes late - THIS WAS A SIGN! Well, with 5 € in cash in my pocket I bought a ticket with my credit card and went for it! Before that, I phoned my Mum, saying that I wasn't sure if I was coming home today, as I *probably* *might* spend the night in Budapest. She encouragend me to do it, but actually, being a fan of classic Floyd, esp. DSOTM, she would have wanted to be with me as well - esp. as she could've gone with me, as the next day was a bank holiday! And ever since that the din't leave out a chance saying that she hadn't seen The Wall when I already had! However I was lucky, Roger went out with a stadium show of The Wall in Europe in 2013, and I bought tickets for me and my parents for Christmas 2012, or should I say for my Mum's birthday (which was on Aug 22nd, so one day before the show!). Anyway, on to the show - it was fantastic!! So huge, so impressive. The only thing that I thought that was better in Budapest was - only down to the fact that the venue/ arrangement was smaller, so I was standing much nearer to the stage - that the spotlights of the helicopter [you know, at the beginning of 'The happiest Day of our Lives'] coming from a crane arm based on the stage, were pretty much over my head! And with the surround sound you got the impression that there was a real helicopter flying directly over you! But except from that, the experience of the Stadium show was a level better from a 'show' point of view! I thought about the title for a while, but with the concert being in Vienna I came back to WWII to go with one many aspects of the album (fascism). 1938 was the year of the Anschluss, when Adolf Hitler overtook power in Austria in a putsch-like move by using military threats. Whilst WWII began with the attack on Poland in 1939, it was Austria as the first country being annected by the Nazis a year before. Back in 1938, Hitler was welcomed by a huge crowd of people in Vienna, capital of Austria (which was governed by a fascistic regime for a few years until 1938 as well; the NSDAP however was forbidden until the Anschluss). The album title should remind us that such things must never happen again! How to identify my recording: Right at the beginning of Spartacus you can hear two loud whistles - and a few more later on in Spartacus. I had a whistler (and a woo-er ?!) next to me. Someone next to me talks about 'I'm Spartacus' during the 'Outside the Wall' Intro. At the 'snapshot in the family album' line in 'Another Brick in the Wall (Part I)' someone says 'A bissl leise is des!' ('It's a bit quiet, that') and after 'Daddy what you leave behind for me' (which a few people of the audience shouted a female voice asks something like 'Sehen Sie den Sänger?' ('Do you see the singer?'), I can't make it out for sure, to which the reply 'Jo!' (Yes) and some laughter follow. Maybe it was 'Sind Sie der Sänger?' ('Are you the singer?')...?!? At 3:26, quiet out of the blue, you can hear a loud 'Ooooh' from that guy next to me, and again at 0:18 in 'The happiest Days of our Lives', and at the end of it (the choir part), 'woo-hoo'. These annoying woo-hoos and woo-hoo-hoos re-appear in 'Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)' at 1:14, 1:38, 2:06). During the end of the first chorus of 'Another Brick in the Wall (Part I)', my friend says 'Kinderchor!', referring to and pointing at the pupils choir on stage. At 1:03 during 'The Ballad of Jean Charles de Menezes' you can the words 'U-Bahn' and 'Anschläge' referring to the visuals of the London Tube and Jean Charles de Menezes, where the innocent guy was killed in 2005 by Police after the attacks on the Tube a few weeks before. After that, Roger has his speech, saying 'Dankeschön!.... Hallo Wien!' and a speech in German (thanking the kids choir and speaking about fight for truth and fairness) and later on in English (about Jean Charles de Menezes and introducing the next song). At the beginning of 'Mother' some idiot quietly sings 'Sooo' like the one in another famous Pink Floyd song, which is NOT on The Wall I'd like to emphasize (I don't even mention its title here!)! You can hear me saying to myself 'Falsches Film' (something like 'wronk movie', an expression in broken Austrian for 'off-topic') to which a friend of mine responds 'I glaub aa!' ('I do think so, too!'). There are a few loud whistles around 0:45 and 1.00 in the beginning of 'Mother', which I have tried to reduce a bit in volume. You can hear the words 'leiser pfeifen?!' ('whistle a bit quieter?!'). To the line 'Mother should I trust the government' you can hear a clear 'No!' from me and an audience cheer as the words 'Auf keinen Fall!' (No way!) appeared on the left side of the wall. You can hear someone mentioning 'McDonalds' as one of the logos and signs displayed during 'Goodbye blue Sky'. At the end of young lust, when the telephone signals can be heard you can hear me saying 'Telefon!' Again, whistles at 2:20 in 'One of my Turns' and at the end of the song. Another 'woo' at the beginning of 'Another Brick in the Wall (Part III)' and whistles again at 0:56, again a few 'woos' during the first seconds of 'The last few Bricks' and at 2:47. After 'Outside the Wall', before Roger introduces the musicians in 'Outside the Wall (Band Intros)' he thanks the audience: 'Dankeschön Wien!' Around 1:30 during 'Outside the Wall' my friend mentiones that someone from the band looks a bit like [David] Gilmour... I don't remember which guy it was, but from the distance he did ahave a bit of a resemblance. Line-Up: Drums: Graham Broad Guitars: Dave Kilminster, G.E.
