Pink Floyd's `The Wall' has been compared to an extremely well put together web site with its awesome visuals and sound. Now with Roger Waters performing in Bangalore you could check out these sites and be totally and completely prepared for the ultimate concert experience.

ROGER WATERS last recorded with Pink Floyd in 1983, but that hasn't stopped his music from menacing teenagers for the last two decades.
