![]() The Wall was heavily inspired by the Real Life trials and tribulations of Waters, who came up with the idea for the album after the last concert at Montreal, Canada's Olympic Stadium during the 1977 In the Flesh tour in support of the band's album Animals. The character of "Pink" is based on both Roger Waters and Syd Barrett. The Wall follows a narrative about fictional rock star "Pink" and his rise and fall, which are caused by his deliberate isolation and his distancing himself from reality and human interaction. ![]() The album also marked the start of the band's working relationship with Bob Ezrin, previously known for his work with artists such as Lou Reed, Alice Cooper, KISS, and Peter Gabriel Ezrin would bring his bombastic sound to this album, building off of the punk-inspired Arena Rock sound that Pink Floyd had already developed on Animals. The theme of this album is similar to the one found in the band's earlier work The Dark Side of the Moon as it involved descent into insanity. It is their last studio album to feature Pink Floyd as a quartet: keyboardist Richard Wright was fired during the making of this album, and while he officially returned by The Division Bell, bassist and de-facto bandleader Roger Waters had left as well in the interim. The Wall is the eleventh studio album by Pink Floyd, released on 30 November 1979. ![]()
