Pink Floyd

On August 9, 1980, Pink Floyd was in the midst of their ambitious "The Wall" tour, following the release of the album "The Wall" in November 1979. This iconic album addressed themes of isolation and alienation, and it became a cultural phenomenon, solidifying the band's status as one of rock's preeminent acts. The live recording of "Run Like Hell" captures the dramatic and theatrical essence of the tour, which showcased elaborate stage designs, including a massive wall that was constructed during the performance. This period marked a significant high point for Pink Floyd, as they were delving deeply into the integration of music and visual art in their performances. Additionally, their concerts during this era were notable for their political overtones and personal reflections, creating a powerful connection with the audience and leading to one of the most acclaimed tours in rock history.
