Pink Floyd - Not Now John / The Fletcher Memorial Home
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Taken from a 19-minute "video EP" filmed in 1983 for The Final Cut, essentially four music videos in a continuous sequence, directed by Willie Christie, who was Roger Waters' brother-in-law. Scottish actor Alex McAvoy, who played the teacher in the film version of The Wall, had a prominent role in the video EP. Waters appears (though all but his mouth is silhouetted) as a patient singing the lyrics to a psychologist on the grounds of the Fletcher Memorial Home.
Such a feel good album, always reminds me of summer time breezes and happiness.
I love how "stuff" is slightly louder than the rest of the lyrics.
Because on the original they say "Fuck" and it's a censored version
Two great song choices!
Stuff all that? Never heard this one before.
Cleaned up version to release as a video in the 80s. Mary Whitehouse was having kittens about any swearing back then lol.
The Final Cut album and The Fletcher Memorial Home is my favourite Floyd piece.
"The Final Cut: A Requiem for the Post-War Dream." Roger Waters' perfect way to criticize Reagan and Thatcher! Though this was Roger Waters' final Pink Floyd album, I have to admit that this is, next to his 1979 pop/rock opus, "The Wall," one of his best! It is also the most beautiful Pink Floyd album ever. This is also, without a doubt, THE most political pop/rock album of all time. Does anyone else think that?
The Final Cut is my favorite album, even though I'm an ex Floyd fan since - 2018, Cheers...😊
@@thegameshowguy123 is it because of the trump stuff waters did in 2018 lol
Sadly I was too young to get this stuff, i wish I was born in 1955-1969 so I could get this great stuff
Superb. In many ways The Final Cut is my favourite Pink Floyd album - possibly album full stop. Having grown up under Thatcher's war-mongering this was a breath of fresh air. I'll always remember the faces at the disco at the CASA Club in Dagenham when my dad (who was DJing) put Not Now John on the decks. First time I've seen the video though. Thanks!!
Thanks for posting. Two of my favorite songs from this album, including two of my favorite guitar solos as well...interesting times in Britain during this album's making and release. The Faulkland's war and of course major economic restructuring under Maggie Thatcher. Pink Floyd still impress me all these years later.
awesome pink Floyd
I agree, i can't believe it has been almost 30 years since i bought this fantastic album.
I forgot there was a "stuff all that" version wow its been a long time thanks for the upload
no dejó de escucharlos juntos nunca debieron separarse son como 100 grupos musicales e escuchado todos sus álbumes y quedó corto de tiempo son magníficos larga vida al rock x siempre .
A golden classic.
I like it how they replaced "f*** all that" with "stop all that"
0:13 the SWAG is strong with this one.
0:13
also the best song ever sofa compete with
the thin ice at LA coliseum 2012
bingeaux
just the thin ice , sir.
"The Fletcher Memorial Home" scene, funny and sad all together.
The greatest sound ,,floyd
I love this song
A banda é inconfundível. Não houve outra melhor
Duas músicas clássicas . Inspiradoras, ainda que melancólicas ...
floyd rules!
Love the Gilmour guitar solos.. Pink Floyd was never the same without Rog.
Unique!!!!!
Album version has "F*** all that." This is the MTV (yes, MTV used to show music videos-LOL) and radio edit version.
Was that the school teacher from the wall?
yes
Yep, he was great friends with Waters before his death.
Yes this album contains his story. But as the actor goes he's a cool dude.
Yeah
I have never seen this before
yeah so do i and i've now transfered it to dvd :)
YOU! YES YOU! STAND STILL LADDIE!
I'm over Pink Floyd these days as i've been listening to it since 1970, but I still love The Final Cut + Syd Barrett, I'm still a Floyd fan, but more of an ex fan these days...🇦🇺🙂🤭🤠
'Come at the end of the shift and we'll go and get pissed!'
British binge drinkers have been around forever,since the Vikings lol.
Greatest band ever
the guitar solo is so emotional . GIlmour is a Guitar God.
Ah vote Independence for Scotland. I have listened to The Floyd since i was 8 yrs old. My brother came in wi Animals,,,,,,Dugs,,,,,,, Anyway Roger......if ye have something to say abt the Scots.?? Teachers..etc. Yer no welcome here, n you khow it, Shine ON
THE BEST
The first time I watched this, I imagined that this all took place after Pinky grew up and the school teacher found a new career in psychiatry. The school teacher divorced his domineering wife and is a much happier man, but must now confront the young man who he helped develop into a monster in his own right.
I thought this would be after In The Flesh in the album because of mentioning the show and competing with the Japanese, who were part of the Axis powers in WWII with Germany, home to Adolf Hitler, who Pink emulates in his rock show.
"stuff all that" 😂
Maggie is is mentioned in the album constantly.
Eles são os caras. Muito legal.
es la unica rola que gilmour canta esta buenisima rola el este album the final cut el resto las canta water con un rock melodico chingon en el mundo fue el ultimo album de water con pink floyd 1983
salute from guadalupe nuevo leon mexico
Here's the thing on the Final Cut, it isn't a bad album, it just isn't truly Pink Floyd. No Rick Wright makes a huge difference. I'd call it a solid Roger Waters album w/ help from Nick Mason & David Gilmour, maybe Roger's best but it's not pure Floyd. It's on par w/ Momentary Lapse of Reason & Division Bell w/ a slight edge going to Division Bell in my opinion if we're talking about a Pink Floyd trio album of any kind & not the full band. Not Now John for sure is the best song on the album.
HILARIOUS VID THE FLETCHER MEMORIAL HOME
So fucking good.. I sigh whenever i hear this,,,,,,
@Adikaos it does but not in this radio version
Its just a Roger Waters solo album really with the Pink Floyd name on it, Gimour steps in very briefly on this tune to play a quick solo
The newspaper at the end, it has the name "Maggie", who else knows what song Maggie is from
Most of the video sequences are straightforward enough, but I really have no idea what's going on in "Not Now John"!
Funny thing about that song: It never occurred to me for the *longest time* that Gilmour was singing most of the verses! It's perfectly obvious, but I just didn't hear it.
Great music. I really enjoy the Final Cut, saying that I'm a bit weird because I love Animals too.
Bingo! and so forth.
I have this VHS. :-)
"One,Two,Free Four"...from "Meddle"...string theory...brilliant...!!
Bingo!
The doctor in the video played Socrates in the first Bill and Ted movie.
The album has the same question in several languages ending with English "oy, where's the fucking bar, John?" to finish the song. I believe Spanish, French and German are used in addition to the Italian and English.
what film/video is this from? never seen it before!
Chill.
roger waters is a Genius!!!!!!
Goodbye Ma
Que excelente disco Juntos waters and gilmour. saben si lo han tocado en vivo alguna vez juntos? would like to see the link here please...
With the Japanese caricatures in this video, I was half expecting The Vapors to show up at some point.
There's nothing subtle about any of it! Way to Go RW!
Who cares what its about as long as the kids go? Michael Bay lives by that motto.
Why am I getting "not available in your country"? Message when I try to play this???
FUCK ALL THAT WE GOTTA GET ON WITH THIS!!
-scusi dové il bar?
-s'il vous plait, où est le bar?
-oi, where's the fucking bar, John?
The two songs have a curiosity: a common phrase in Italian, a voice that says "... scusi, dov'è il bar?" (...sorry, where's the bar?). At 4:08 and 5:52.
Age goes Pink Floyd stills
@beppestarnazza17 also in greek: «Σε παρακαλώ, πού είναι το μπαρ;» (please, where is the bar?)
Scusi dov'è il bar? (please where is the bar?) Perfect
I'm guessing it's 'stuff all that' in this version cause it was probably aired on TV in some capacity
There more videos like these?
expect to have this removed anytime soon, mine that has been on for 5 years has been deleted by our google friends.
@CorporalCleggPF So it would be the Scottish actor Alex McAvoy then ?
are watchin' floyd or are livin flloyd ... i guess we are livin' floyd..
I wish this "obscured version" of Not Now John and the extended version of Hero's Return would be included as bonus tracks on some future release of The Final Cut. I still have a vinyl 45 copy of these two songs but the quality is poor now. They included When the Tigers Broke Free so why not these two "lost" items? I think the full length version of Hero's Retun is much better. It took a few listenings for me to appreciate the album. After The Wall it was a bit subdued, but by no means a lesser album.
Get the vinyl restored.
"Not Now John" is actually a decent song, though buried in a crappy Roger Waters solo album, but "Memorial Home" ... apparently the Pink from "In The Flesh (2) - Run Like Hell - Waiting For The Worms" made it to 1983...
Not a fan of "Memorial Home" -- but "The Gunner's Dream" was a decent song as well.
If there'd been more time put into the album and re-tooling the concepts, it could probably have been an incredible piece of work.
idk about anyone else but i cannot find Roger in the Fletcher Memorial home at all. PLEASE HELP ME FIND HIM!
I believe the single release and this video were not 'stop' but 'stuff' to meet with the 'decency' standards for airplay on radio and MTV. However, the album is very explicit with FUCK ALL THAT!
4:07 "Scusi dov'è il bar?"
4:07
this album is , dare I say it? The wall was a scratch, this is gushing . does that make sense? I never did find the bar.
Isn't that guy the teacher in The Wall film?
@beppestarnazza17
right! giusto!
ΣΕ ΠΑΡΑΚΑΛΩ ΠΟΥ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΤΟ ΜΠΑΡ?
se parakalo pou ine to bar?
Yeah its 'Fuck all that' in the disc version. I sorta prefer that ;)
The supposedly argentine general with the toy Exocet wears a franquist cap...
@sadghost12 That fucks it up.
Alex McAvoy and the music were the old good things about this video, it all had so little to do with the lyrics and was poorly edited.
@JobberBud it was alan parker who directed The Wall, so blaming that its just 2 hours of music video on Roger Waters is pretty dumb in my opinion. and BTW The Wall is looked upon as a true work of art
scusi dov'è il bar?
8:25 Roger's father?
Scuse, dove il bar?
@wabankik Yeah we know the words.
You'd think that it would be a cooler more bad ass music video
Se parakalo pou einai to BAR?????
is it just me or does the Fletcher's memorial home and the place it's in look a lot like forty hall?
Bingoooooo
...and at 5:52
@deansusky heavenly
@beppestarnazza17
Waters voice :)
