    Loved Pink Floyd since I was 5. Most radio stations would generally play music from The Wall album. One local radio station had on Saturdays an entire hour dedicated to a particular artist from 3pm to 4pm. That is when I first heard this song in the summer of 87 hanging out with some friends at a local swimming hole from a Casio portable stereo that took 8 D batteries.

Don't know how many friends cassettes I copied back in those days I got an old egg crate full of them the labels have worn off most of them but the cassette film is still in great condition. If I could get the right cables I could give them all a digital conversion. I've got the hardware just need a analog to digital audio converter with the appropriate PC interface connections/hardware. Any recommendations on ways to streamline such a process?

    December 6th, 1987, Oakland Coliseum Arena... floor stage right, directly in front of the amazing background singers. The way they grooved and danced in unison... was pretty inspiring for a young 18 year old!!!
    The bed crashing, pig, and really, simply an absolutely incredible show. On the Turning Away was also the last song I listened to before shipping of to bootcamp in 88. Not going to say anything about Gilmour which hasn't already been said, but when he locks in and soars, we are all better, happier, more at peace. Ride the live version, and be amazed.

      Possibly because it was part of the first album after Roger Waters left. I know a lot of Pink Floyd fans got turned off because of his departure. I grew up listening to The Wall, and wasn't into the music scene enough to know any of the details except that this was the first album from the band in a long time. I was not even a teenager yet, but the people around me and the radio stations played it enough for me to know it by heart. Their early stuff is great, but Momentary Lapse and Division Bell are standouts for me. And whenever I have to recreate my playlist, "Songs From and Inspired by..." of songs that feel like they are the soundtrack to my life, Learning to Fly is still the first track I add.
