ROGER
WATERS
THE
WALL
-
Live
In
Berlin
During
the
fall
of
the
Berlin
Wall,
the
ever
conscientious
Roger
Waters
saw
the
opportunity
to
set
up
his
classic
Pink
Floyd
rock
opera
with
enormous
scale
and
impact
on
this
significant
location
before
hundreds
of
thousands
spectators
(and
broadcast
to
300
million
viewers
worldwide!).
Mid-1990,
a
year
after
the
wall's
demise,
the
intense
production
planning
and
calling
in
of
a
string
of
high
profile
guest
artists
and
musicians,
Postdamer
Platz
(the
notorious
stretch
between
the
divided
city)
came
to
life
in
unity,
with
one
of
the
most
spectacular
shows
you're
likely
to
see
(even
a
decade
later).
Some
of
the
guest
artists
include
German
rockers
Scorpions,
Ute
Lemper,
Sinead
O'Connor,
Cyndi
Lauper,
The
Band,
Joni
Mitchell,
Bryan
Adams,
Paul
Carrack,
Van
Morrison
and
Thomas
Dolby,
with
actors
Tim
Curry,
Albert
Finney
plus
many
more.
A
documentary
on
the
monstrous
production
points
out
some
interesting
bits
like
the
conflict
with
Sinead
O'Connor,
the
marching
band
and
the
cold
war
history
itself.
One
of
the
many
triumphs
includes
the
systematic
building
of
a
gigantic
wall,
which
has
the
incredible
animation
and
artwork
of
Gerald
Scarfe
projected
onto
the
huge
canvas,
dwarfing
the
musicians.
Enormous
inflatable
crane
operated
character
figures
are
also
incorporated
to
staggering
effect.
In
a
mind-blowing
finale
the
erected
wall
is
torn
down
-
a
jaw
dropping
vision.
Additional
material
includes
set-
and
character
design,
animations,
previously
unseen
footage
plus
a
12-page
booklet
with
notes
by
executive
producer
Tony
Hollingsworth.
A
truly
historic
show
coupled
with
a
significant
globe-altering
historic
event.
This
previously
released
DVD
is
now
jacked
up
with
a
double
CD
added.
