Tearing Down The Wall (click on below picture to expand)
Pink Floyd, the band that brought us the epic album Dark Side of The Moon, continued their success in writing one of the greatest albums of all time, The Wall. It’s concepts and artwork have been pulled across endless landscapes of creation that blew people away in the 1979-1980’s and continues to have the same affect today. Musical quality of the album has been re-mastered, and the adaptive movie has been placed on youtube. Roger Waters now continues his tour of The Wall with a massive amount of technology and stage props that greatly expands the vision Pink Floyd had almost 30 years ago.
It is necessary to believe one collective work can be made into a vast expansion of very different media fronts. It may have been possible for The Wall to have been put to rest 30 years ago, exhausted in its interpretations. However, brilliantly enough, Roger Waters has brought an entire new aspect to the classic album and continued its success as a groundbreaking entertainment front. As technologies develop, and creative ability expands, we will continue to see interpretation of the album possibly in ways even Roger Waters never imagined.
