When the Tigers Broke Free

My vote is firmly on the side of the "just babbling" camp.

I always thought that "When The Tigers Broke Free" never existed. I read somewhere that Eric Fletcher Waters was an RAF man who was shot down over Italy. I never knew (till now that is) that his dad was an infantry man during the unforgetable Anzio campaign. I have the lyrics and all but never had the chance to listen to the song or watch The Wall. Really wish I could though!!

very highly recomended. reminds one more of the final cut than the wall though... which is more than alright by me.

Yeah- it's a lot less rock'n roll than the majority of The Wall, with that whole operatic thing he never quite got out of his system (The Dick).

Cheers,

Mark

yeah, its like not rock and roll at all. have you ever noticed that the music for saving private ryan sounds a lot like it or am i just hearing things. that would be cool if one song that isnt easy to find until now influenced someone, ok im just going to shut up becuz i dont kno what im talking about

peace

checkin the sig

It's on the special CD version of The Final Cut and was released as a single in 1982, with the B-side "Bring The Boys Back Home", and then on the Wall Movie (obviously) and probably some bootleg recordings or something

Byron's first post... How time flies.

Back when he was merely "anonymous" hee hee

I recognized his prose before I saw his name at the bottom..

BTW, somewhere around here, I have a copy (7" vinyl -- 45 rpm) of the single "When the Tigers Broke Free", so I can verify that there are some floating around.

Lovely cover art on the "Tigers" single.

Shut it, you!

It does sound like a first post, doesn't it? Who was the other anonymous poster, the first reply? Could it have been fixxlevy?

Thanks?

I started this thread because the song in question remains one of my faves off this much maligned double album.

[5 years and two pages and nearly all on topic; a record? Who gives a ****?]

Tut tut.
