Pink Floyd: Earl's Court, London
Richard Williams, The Times, 5 August 1980
PINK FLOYD'S The Wall, which has already achieved enormous success as a set of two long-playing records, is first and finally an elaborate vehicle for the pessimism, both personal and universal, of its composer, Roger Waters. A deep distrust of parents, teachers, the military, the judiciary and other instruments of authority is hardly original, but we are forced to respond to Waters' vision by the sheer ferocity of his venom.
