The DVD includes a new 30-minute documentary, a section of Gerald Scarfe's animation footage and Mark Fisher's set & character designs. As an extra special bonus unreleased film footage of Rupert Everett portraying Pink that was never used during the concert has been added to make this one of the greatest concert DVDs of all-time.
In 1979, Pink Floyd's massive hit album The Wall began touring the world. It was by no means your regular concert. The Wall was rock theater at is finest: a young man named Pink, begins to build a wall around himself, constructed by his feelings, exiling himself from the world.
Live, this Wall was no longer metaphorical. During the show, a real, 10-meter tall wall of large styrofoam bricks was slowly built up, piece by piece. Huge puppets were used to tell the tale, taking the characters of the schoomaster, the girlfriend, and Pink himself. Ultimately, the massive thing came tumbling down, practically into the audience's laps.
When the Wall's highly sucessful tour was over, many people asked Pink Floyd lead singer Roger Waters if he would do it again. Yes, he said, but only when the Berlin Wall comes down.
In 1990, it did. Three years after his solo album Radio K.A.O.S, Roger Waters, true to his word, gathered together a bunch of celebrities and friends in the music biz for a special performance of The Wall, to be held live in Berlin. All proceeds, of course, would go to charity: the Memorial Fund for Disaster Relief, to be specific.
