Pink Floyd Built Massive Wall During 1979 Album Tour
Pink Floyd featured a large stage production during the tour for their 1979 album The Wall, which sold over 30 million copies.
When Pink Floyd went on tour for the 1979 album The Wall, the stage design and production made a great impact. Pink Floyd's album The Wall has sold more than 30 million copies. Following the huge success of the album Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd began playing concerts to large audiences in massive stadiums. On the final concert of the Animals In The Flesh tour, Pink Floyd played to 78,000 people at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal.
In line with Roger Waters' stage vision, a wall measuring 33 feet high and 260 feet wide was gradually constructed during the concerts. Roger Waters was persuaded to leave a few peepholes for the audience in the wall built during the concerts. In a statement made in 2009, Gerald Scarfe stated that Roger Waters did not want a medley of old favorite songs to be played at the end of the concerts.
Swedish music group ABBA's virtual concert ABBA Voyage opened at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London in May 2022.
