Rock and Roll “Crossed Hammers” Embroidered Patch – MEDIUM  3 1/2″ Velcro Backing – The Wall – Pink Floyd

The Wall is the eleventh studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 30 November 1979 by Harvest/EMI and Columbia/CBS Records. It is the last album to include all four post-Barrett-era band members. The album is a rock opera which follows the story of “Pink”, a jaded rock star, as he constructs a psychological “wall” of social isolation. The Wall topped the US charts for 15 weeks and reached number three in the UK. It initially received mixed reviews from critics, many of whom found it overblown and pretentious, but later received accolades as one of the greatest albums of all time.

Throughout the show, three characters taken from The Wall made appearances as giant inflatables looming over the stage – Pink’s schoolmaster, his mother, and his wife. During “In the Flesh”, an inflatable pig also floated over the audience (a carryover from prior tours), this time sporting a crossed hammers logo taht matched the uniforms of the band and stage crew. Along with the original album tracks, the tour featured an instrumental medley, “The Last Few Bricks”, played before “Goodbye Cruel World” to allow the construction crew to complete the wall. “Empty Spaces” was replaced by a longer version of the track, “What Shall We Do Now?”.
