40 years ago today (2/7/80), Pink Floyd’s The Wall premiered at Los Angeles’ Memorial Sports Arena. This was only one of two locations, the other being Uniondale, NY, where the Wall was staged in the U.S. With only 31 shows in total between the U.S., West Germany and England, the tour was relatively small in dates but instead was notable for its extensive use of stage theatrics, most notably a giant wall constructed across the stage.
