Pink Floyd: The Wall

"Pink Floyd is effectively kaput (the band released its last album of new material, 'The Division Bell,' in 1994), but Roger Waters, the band’s bassist and lyricist, is taking the landmark 1979 rock opera 'The Wall,' which he mostly wrote, back on the road in celebration of its 30th anniversary. He’s revisiting the original (and now legendary) staging of the 1980 tour — a wall will be built, brick by brick, until the performers are sealed off from the audience. (Spoiler alert: The sheer force of rock ’n’ roll nostalgia just may topple it at the end.)" (Amanda Petrusich, "Pop and Rock Listings," New York Times, 9/30/10)
