Pink Floyd's The Wall Tour Featured a Massive Stage Wall

Pink Floyd played the final concert of its Animals In The Flesh tour at Olympic Stadium in Montreal on July 6, 1977, performing for 78,000 people that night. Waters began comparing the band's concerts to competitive sport and even war.

For The Wall tour, Pink Floyd planned a stage wall measuring 33 feet high and 260 feet wide. Gerald Scarfe led the team responsible for creating large puppets and animated projections for the stage. Waters allowed several small peepholes to be cut into the wall during the concerts.

Scarfe said Waters did not want a selection of older songs at the end of The Wall concerts. The album sold more than 30 million copies. Bob Ezrin said Waters regarded The Wall as his own recording and allowed the other band members to play on it. Rick Wright was removed from the group by Waters during the album's preparation and took a role similar to that of a session musician on the tour.

The virtual concert programme ABBA Voyage opened at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London in May 2022.
