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, The Wall. 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.

Roger Waters: The Wall—Live in Berlin Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
douglasscentit One of the best concerts I've seen. An experience that will always live. We were 4 people from Sweden who were together with 350,000 people. We who wanted to experience freedom along with the artists who put up give us this. The wonderful thing about this concert was the kindness that existed in between, love, empathy, curiosity up experiencing a historical that the GDR disappeared with its horrible regime.Let us all live with our own freedom that takes us to our own paradise
Walter Five It *sounded* like a good idea. But the cast reads like a series of "Where Are They Now" episodes for VH1, and their performances are truly terrible. Waters still had *some* of his voice left, and it's a shame that he didn't use his own pipes more, Joni Mitchell is truly wretched; this project is the biggest loser she's been involved with since she used to date David Crosby! Sinead O'Connor shows why she was a one-hit wonder, the Scorpions seem to have been thrown in to appease the Kraut-centric Berlin audience, Bryan Adams (who?) is totally forgettable. One also finds it hard to believe that Jerry Hall knows how to act based on her performance here...I *will* give this show an extra star for Snowy White's outstanding guitar work, it's the only thing that kept me listening all the way through. His performance is far more than a mere imitation of David Gilmore.An actual performance (several, actually) of the *real* Pink Floyd performing "The Wall" at Earl's Court is available through various fan-trading clubs and bit-torrent sites. They are a *little* dark in places(the reason an edit was never commercially released) but they beat THIS suck-fest hands down! The best of the bunch is described here: http://www.harvested.org/DVD006/index.html
Theo Robertson By the Summer of 1990 the cold war had ended thus saving mankind from the threat of thermo-nuclear conflict , the Berlin wall had been knocked down and the unification of Germany was underway and how did humanity celebrate these Earth shattering historical events ? With a rock concert ! But it wasn't just any rock concert , it was a rock concert performed by Roger Waters and friends of their own interpretation of Water's masterpiece album THE WALL an album I fell deeply in love with a couple of years previously . Strange as it may seem I never thought about attending the concert in the flesh ( great title for a song BTW ) because the thought of travelling halfway across Europe was somewhat daunting and the thought of watching a concept album about alienation and social isolation being performed alongside 300,000 would have been too ironic even for me so I decided to watch it on television even though the signs weren't good since Phil Collins and a few other big names invited to attend snubbed the event and Waters replaced them with little known acts namely Sinead O' Connor , Bryan Adams and The Scorpions The concert was opened by Group Captain Leonard Cheshire VC who spent much of the second world war bombing Nazi Germany back to the stone age and who spent the remainder of his life as a selfless charity worker . No doubt this apt introduction revolves around the idea of reconciliation and a new way forward for Europe . Then the concert proper started which was a strange mix of the good , bad and sublime The Good : A Russian red army band performing a rousing version of Bring The Boys Back Home with the wall in the background illuminated with photographs of war , Waters performing his own penned tracks like Another Brick In The Wall Part Three and as a fascist dictator Waiting For The Worms The Bad: I know it's a live concert performed to a worldwide audience of tens of millions and accidents do happen but many of the early tracks were ruined by technical difficulties . Some of the guests were inappropriate like Thomas Dolby and Cyndi Lauper The Sublime : Albert Finney and Tim curry camping it up during the prosecution sequence . The wall being demolished ion stage as Pink breaks out of his barrier of isolation All in all ( Geddit ? ) one of the most spectacular , memorable and just plain bizarre concerts ever performed
larsadb9 One of the best shows ever done!!! With Ute Lemper on "The thin ice", Paul Carrack on "Hey you" and Van Morrison on "Comfortably Numb" makes this concert just fantastic!!! Even Cindy Lauper and Bryan Adams did a great show. The 60 feet tall wall, 150 long scene and nearly 400.000 people makes this concert just amazing! Every Pink Floyd/Roger Waters fan should see this fabulous show. Joni Michell does a fantastic job on "Goodbye Blue Sky" with her kind of dark voice. I think it is the best live show ever done! I can't give any less then 10 (exellent)l. I just can't! When "The Scorpions" drove in to the scene in a white limo, you feel the excitement. And when Roger appears on the scene on "The thin ice" with Ute Lemper, You feel you're getting warm inside! I have only one thing to say: ROGER, WE LOVE YOU 4 ever!!!
