Bob Geldof original PINK in „Pink Floyd - The Wall” by Alan Parker/ with
musicians and singers from the original Pink Floyd and Roger Waters tours
LONDON
Live-Aid founder Sir Bob Geldof, who played the character „Pink” in the film
„Pink Floyd - The Wall” will present a series of concerts to celebrate the 40th
anniversary of one of the most legendary concerts tours ever in the history of
rock music.
Besides Sir Bob Geldof, the tour will feature singers and musicians who have performed with Pink Floyd or Roger Waters.
The Wall is one of the most iconic rock albums ever recorded. Pink Floyd performed the album in its entirety in 1980/81, Roger Waters in 1990 at the Berlin Wall
on the border between East and West Germany. The performances drew some
of the biggest concert audiences in history. Between 2010-2013 Roger Waters
toured “The Wall” and it was the biggest grossing tour for a solo artist ever.
„The Wall is a masterpiece of modern music and we will have fun to present it to
the audience with a modern vibe,” Geldof said. Sir Bob was and in recent times
is once again the lead singer of the well known band The Boomtown Rats. In the
70´s and 80´s Geldof had many hits including the worldwide No 1 „I dont like
Mondays” and “Do they know it’s Christmas”, which he also wrote.
Sir Bob was offered the role of PINK in the movie by the Oscar winning director
Alan Parker. Geldof needed a lot of convincing before accepting the offer: „At
that time I thought Pink Floyd was crap, it took me a few years to understand the
value and genius - at least of The Wall!”
Pink Floyd did not perform together for 24 years after the original “The Wall”
concerts until 2005 when Geldof convinced them to perform at Live8, a follow
up to his legendary LiveAid concerts in 1985 which was a charity concert to help
people in Africa threatened by famine and to lobby for debt relief, aid and trade.
Besides the iconic music of “THE WALL” album the concert will include additional Pink Floyd songs such as, „When the Tigers broke free”, from the Final Cut
album. Roger Waters originally composed it for The Wall. It is about the death
of his father in WW II. The other Pink Floyd members considered it too personal
and it was eventually included on “The Final Cut”, although its rightful place is
on „The Wall” album.
The audience will be treated to the original songs of „The Wall” concerts, featuring some of the original musicians as well as additional music from Pink Floyd.
The concerts will have an amazing light show and video projections - it promises
to be a worthy anniversary celebration of the „greatest concert tour of all time”,
to quote Pink Floyd fans from the original tour.
