On This Day, July 21, 1991 ...

Eight months after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters hosted a star-studded concert version of the band’s classic album The Wall at the site of its former location.

The concert featured a host of A-list musicians, including Bryan Adams, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Scorpions, Sinead O’Connor and Cyndi Lauper. Waters' former Pink Floyd bandmates David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright were not on the lineup, prompting controversy over whether they were ever asked to join.

A month after the concert, Waters released the live album and video The Wall -- Live in Berlin.
