Watch BBC 2's production, 7 ages of rock. you will not regret it.
And I want to watch Pink Floyd's The Wall on DVD!!!
In fact, I am so impressed by Pink Floyd's creativity. They showed that rock music is really a substantial art form.
The Wall was completely Artoudian meets Brechian theatre. Giant puppets of nasty bespectacled teachers, the gradual ascent of the paper box wall between the band and the audience. Oh man, completely alienating but that was the point the band was making about the loss of intimacy with their peaking popularity.
When the wall completely obscured the band, Roger Waters sang: "Goodbye, Cruel World". Brilliant.
