Overview
A double rock opera conceived by Roger Waters after he spat at a fan during a 1977 concert, it follows a rock star named Pink who builds a mental wall against the world. Another Brick in the Wall Part 2, with a choir of London schoolchildren, topped charts worldwide. The live shows built and tore down a real wall across the stage, and Alan Parker filmed the story in 1982.
