42. 2008 - Alan Parker. 1982 with Bob Geldof as Pink. The production is documented as acrimonious among Parker, Waters and Scarfe, and all three have given differing accounts.

44. 2009 - Visitors entering the amphitheatre. The site is part of the Pompeii archaeological park and takes visitors daily. A permanent Pink Floyd display now stands within it.
45. 2009 - The grass banks of the arena. Maben's conceit, a rock band playing at full volume to empty stone, is the reason the film has outlasted almost every other concert document of its decade.
46. 2009 - The arcaded exterior. The amphitheatre stands at the eastern edge of the buried city. Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, roughly a hundred and fifty years after it was built.
47. 2013 - The tiers of the Pompeii amphitheatre. Built around 70 BC, this is the oldest surviving Roman amphitheatre. Maben chose it precisely for the absence of an audience, inverting the concert film as a form.

49. 2014 - The Wall installation at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Scarfe's Wall figures installed in the atrium of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. The characters are the Teacher, the Judge, the Mother, the Wife and the Marching Hammers.
50. 2014 - Scarfe figures suspended in Cleveland. The Wall exhibit ran at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame from 2013. The sleeve of the album itself is plain white brick and is by Scarfe, not Hipgnosis, a break in the band's design history.
51. 2014 - The Wall exhibit, Cleveland. A gallery-scale reconstruction of The Wall staging. The 1982 Alan Parker film starred Bob Geldof as Pink and carried Scarfe's animation throughout.
52. 2014 - A Waters quotation on the exhibit wall. The Wall began with an incident in Montreal on 6 July 1977, when Waters spat at a member of the audience at the Olympic Stadium and afterwards began writing about the barrier between performer and crowd.
53. 2014 - Entrance tunnel and arena, Pompeii. The 1974 re-release of Live at Pompeii added Abbey Road studio footage of the band working on Dark Side of the Moon, plus interviews, changing what the film was about.

61. 2017 - Scarfe's wife puppet, close up. Scarfe produced the animation for the 1982 Alan Parker film as well as the tour programme art and the album's inner artwork. The production of the film is documented as acrimonious among Parker, Waters and Scarfe, and all three have given differing accounts.
62. 2017 - The wife puppet under exhibition light. The Wall was performed live only 31 times, in four cities: Los Angeles, Uniondale, Dortmund and London. The most famous rock stage show of its era was seen by very few people, which is why surviving props and film matter.
63. 2017 - One of Roger Waters' costumes from The Wall. A mannequin dressed in one of Waters' costumes from the original 1980 and 1981 The Wall concerts. The wall itself was about 160 feet wide and 31 feet high, built from cardboard bricks across the first half of the show and demolished at the end.
64. 2017 - Inflatable figure from The Wall staging. A soft figure from the 1980 and 1981 The Wall production, exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2017. Mark Fisher designed the set with engineer Jonathan Park.
65. 2017 - The Wall figure seen from below. The Wall was performed only 31 times, in Los Angeles, Uniondale, Dortmund and London. Most people met the show through the 1982 Alan Parker film rather than in a hall.
66. 2017 - Cast face used in The Wall production. A blank cast face from the staging of The Wall. The story follows a rock star named Pink who walls himself off from his audience; Bob Geldof played him on screen in 1982.
67. 2017 - A row of cast faces in the V&A display. Faces made for the 1980 and 1981 shows. Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains ran at the Victoria and Albert Museum from May to October 2017.

72. 2018 - Pompeii amphitheatre under a clear sky. Filming took four days in October 1971. The heat and the power requirements were the practical problems; the cables were run from the town.
73. 2019 - The arena, looking across the empty bowl. The band brought a full stage rig into the ruins and played to nobody. Additional material for the film was shot in a Paris television studio in December 1971.
