Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' Gets Modified For Latin America

By Michael Lopez

Even though Pink Floyd has long broken up, one of their most famous albums continues to endure. 1979's The Wall sold over 23 million units and is coming back as part of an extravagant tour put together by Floyd mastermind Roger Waters. But what's most interesting is that Waters is giving Latin America a special "modified" live version.

Speaking with Rolling Stone, Roger explained that his new Wall experience will be specifically altered to fit in national fútbol stadiums. Waters plans to debut it when he plays Argentina, Chile, and Mexico.

"I desperately wanted to bring this tour to South America, but they don’t play basketball or ice hockey down there, and consequentially they don’t have arenas," he said. "I'm playing in soccer stadiums, and I've decided that the arena show that I produced of The Wall is not expansive enough to play in a soccer stadium. We'd made the wall a lot wider, and I've been working on the content. I've worked on ways that the audience can see that tiny bloke from a long way away."

Unfortunately that's all Roger would reveal to the magazine, leaving his "modifications" completely up to the imagination. But Latin American Floyd fans won't have to wait long to see what Wall he has in mind. The new tour kicks off on March 2.
