A global television broadcast of the event in which former Pink Floyd leader singer and composer Roger Waters led an all-star cast in a mammoth benefit performance of his acclaimed concept album/concert, The Wall, in support of The War Memorial Fund for Disaster Relief. Set in Berlin, Germany less than a year after the destruction of the hated Berlin Wall, Waters was accompanied by disparate talents such as Cyndi Lauper, James Galway, Joni Mitchell and Albert Finney in the classic dark musical tale of a rock star's descent into madness and back. The performance was subsequently released as a top-selling video.

| User ReviewRodney EBeyond any fragment of a doubt the most extravagant concert ever mounted in the history of the world. However it all meshed marvelously together to add a whole new dimension to the music we all (or at least most of us) know and love. Even those who have seen the movie will be astounded at the new magic brought to the material by over 300,000 fans, and a collection of guest artists including Tim Curry, Sinead O'Conner, Cyndi Lauper, Van Morrison, the Scorpions, and many others. Among the most significant is the marching band of the combined Soviet Forces in Germany, who add a whole new dimension to the Fascist Rally late in the 2nd act. Anyways a spectacle of this nature had never been done before, and likely is never to be done again, mostly because it was a HUGE loss of money for the producers. If you're a Pink Floyd fan, or if you're simply a fan of performance art, treat yourself to this amazing show. and don't watch it on youtube, that terrible video quality doesn't even come close to doing this concert justice. |
