The tour was relatively small compared to previous tours for a major release, with only 31 shows performed across four venues. Concerts were only performed in England, the United States and Germany. The tour was notable for its extensive use of stage theatrics, most notably a giant wall constructed across the stage to convey the sense of alienation present in both the album, and Roger Waters' personal feelings at the time.[1]
This was the last tour of Pink Floyd with Roger Waters, before his departure in 1985. 17 June 1981 was the last concert of the tour, and the last concert with Waters (until 2 July 2005 at Live 8 24 years later).
