Pink Floyd

In the live recording from Berlin on July 21, 1990, Roger Waters performed "The Tide Is Turning," a poignant piece suggesting a shift in political and personal reflection. This concert, known as "The Wall – Live in Berlin," came nearly a decade after the release of Pink Floyd's iconic album "The Wall" in 1979. Waters had left the band in 1985, leading to a shift in his career trajectory as he sought to reclaim and celebrate his work while emphasizing its relevance in a post-Cold War context. The Berlin performance was notable not just for its scale—featuring over 200 musicians in a massive open-air concert—but also as a political statement amid the backdrop of Germany's reunification. The event resonated with audiences worldwide, underscoring the enduring impact of Pink Floyd's themes of isolation, war, and humanity's resilience.
