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.

The greatest movie ever made..!

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

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

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

This was an awesome concert! Almost everything about it is flawless. Roger's band, the great guests, and of course, Roger Waters himself. It does have its flaws, but it doesn't kill my 10 rating. The Scorpions did a half decent "In The Flesh?" and I'm not a heavy metal fan. Ute Lemper did a good duet with Roger on "The Thin Ice." Garth Hudson (organist from The Band) did a nice sax solo on "Another Brick In The Wall, part 1." "Mother" is well executed by Sinead O'Connor, The Band, and The Hooters. Joni Mitchell pours her heart out on "Goodbye Blue Sky," while James Galway does a cute little flute solo. Bryan Adams's appearance during "Empty Spaces/What Shall We Do Now?" and "Young Lust" was cool. During "One Of My Turns," I like watching toss guitars and lamps out of a hotel room set in the wall (like Bob Geldof did in "Pink Floyd The Wall.") And I love watching the crew finish building the massive wall one brick at a time. It's amazing how they could build the whole thing in only one hour! The second half is even better. "Hey You" was sung by Paul Carrack, the best guest at the whole show. I like the classical guitars on "Is There Anybody Out There?" as well as Snowy White's guitar solo on "Nobody Home." The military orchestra on "Bring the Boys Back Home" was outstanding. Van "the man" Morrison does a soulful version of "Comfortably Numb," with more good guitar solos by Rick DiFonzo and Snowy White (although not as good as David Gilmour's solo.)The orchestra really adds some mmph on the second "In The Flesh." "Run Like Hell" was good, but it sounded weird when only sung by one person. I like watching that marching hammer animation in full (unlike in the movie.) "The Trial" was awesome, with Tim Curry, Thomas Dolby, Ute Lemper, Marrianne Faithful, and Albert Finney playing the different characters. It's really cool watching the entire wall get torn down before the eyes of 250,000 people. "The Tide Is Turning" made a great finale to a marvellous concert. It does, however, have flaws. Cindi Lauper was a bad choice for "Another Brick in the Wall, part 2," although Thomas Dolby managed to save it from her wrath. "Nobody Home" became less of a powerful song in blues form. And I was disappointed to not here "Outside The Wall" at the end (although the video plays the movie version over the credits.) This concert goes down easily into rock and roll history, as well as the history of Germany, as it's a celebration of the destruction of the real Berlin Wall. Leonard Cheshire does a nice intro by starting the show by blowing a war whistle. If you're a Pink Floyd/Roger Waters fan, this is a must-see. Also, see P.U.L.S.E., a live Floyd concert which ranks up with this show. And of course, see the movie, "Pink Floyd The Wall."

What an incredible double feature this concert is! The most incredible Pink Floyd concept album is brought to Berlin Germany and played out with an all star cast live under the supervision of former Floyd frontman Roger Waters. There was also a cause for celebration in the air as the previous year saw the break up of a divided Germany and the Berlin Wall was dismantled for good. This live show is a must see for new Floyd/Waters fans that probably were not even born when the original album came out in 1979. A brilliant show that captures the beauty of Waters lyrics and perceptions! Look out for Jerry Hall as the party girl who wants to take a bath with Old Pink. Also stars Joni Mitchel, Bryan Adams, Van Morrison, Sinead O' Connor, Cindi Lauper, Tim Currey, Albert Finney and Thomas Dolby.
