The story behind

The beginning of The Wall, In the Flesh?, immediately immerses us in the album's atmosphere. This piece, with a duration of 3:20, is located at the start of the first side of the record, setting the tone for the story that will unfold. The music was conceived by Roger Waters, who also participated as one of the producers alongside Bob Ezrin, David Gilmour, and James Guthrie. The latter also served as the recording engineer, contributing his technical work to the sound they were aiming for.

This album, The Wall, was released in 1979, edited by Harvest in the United Kingdom and Columbia in the United States. The idea for this work emerged during the 1977 In the Flesh tour, where Roger Waters began to shape the narrative of Pink, a rock musician who isolates himself from the world. Although it received mixed opinions at the time, with some critics considering it excessive, over time it has consolidated as a standout work in music history. The band, Pink Floyd, known for its evolution from psychedelic rock to progressive and symphonic, had already experimented with philosophical concepts and innovative sounds in its previous works.
